Think of cash savings as money you set aside, while insurance is a way to increase the amount of financial protection that your savings can effectively provide.
For example, if you have โฑ500,000 in savings, that โฑ500,000 may be enough to cover certain emergencies. But if you use a portion of your cash flow to buy insurance, you could potentially have millions of pesos in death, disability, or critical illness coverage.
So instead of trying to save the entire amount needed for a major financial risk yourself, you transfer part of that risk to the insurance company.
In simple terms:
Savings gives you โฑ1 of financial protection for every โฑ1 you save. Insurance can potentially turn a relatively small amount of premium into a much larger amount of financial protection.
That's how insurance can multiply the mileage of your cashโnot by magically increasing your savings, but by giving the money you have leverage against large financial risks.
