[Title] => Pre-need group seeks benefits ceiling on open-ended plans
[Summary] => The Federation of Philippine Pre-Need Plan Companies (FPPC) is seeking a ceiling on the benefits paid to planholders of open-ended plans to ensure the continued operations 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 receive upon maturity.
FPPC president Juan Miguel Vazquez said there should be a cap for open-ended benefits to ensure the survival of pre-need companies.

[Title] => Pre-need industry prefers acquisition route
[Summary] => The country’s pre-need industry is expected to consolidate further as new entrants prefer the acquisition mode rather than establish new companies. Likewise, industry players are holding discussion for "mid-step" consolidation over further mergers or acquisitions.
A group of investors composed of foreign and local players are reportedly holding talks with an existing player, which has stopped selling plans although it continues to service its existing plan holders.

Juan Miguel Vazquez, president of the Federation of Philippine Pre-need Plan Companies Inc., said most pre-need firms are eyeing a 20 percent increase in sales this year on the assumption that the economy will improve.
