                    [Summary] => The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is inclined to grant the Federation of Philippine Pre-Need Plan Companies’ (FPPC) request for the imposition of a ceiling on the benefits paid to planholders of open-ended plans in order to ensure the survival of pre-need firms.


In open-ended plans, a pre-need firm pays the tuition of a beneficiary regardless of the amount due.  This is opposed to a fixed value plan that specifies a fixed amount the beneficiary would get come maturity.
