As the rainy season brings relief from the summer heat, it also signals the peak period for dengue infections, posing a public health challenge nationwide. Dengue-carrying mosquitoes, particularly Aedes aegypti, thrive during the wet months, making June to November the highest-risk period for dengue transmission. However, the disease remains a threat year-round due to ongoing mosquito activity.

The Department of Health (DOH) recently reported a 40% increase in dengue cases in January and February 2025 compared to the same period last year, underscoring the persistent risk of the illness.

Dengue fever is more than just a health concern; it can also cause significant financial stress for affected families. Hospitalization, treatment costs, and lost income add to the burden of this mosquito-borne disease.

To help Filipinos cope with the potential costs of dengue, BDO Insure offers affordable insurance plans designed for year-round protection. For just P350 a year, policyholders receive P10,000 cash assistance upon dengue diagnosis. A higher coverage option is available at P700 annually, providing P20,000 cash assistance that can help with medical expenses, recovery, or lost wages.

The insurance plans can be purchased for yourself or for loved ones, including children, parents, spouses, or friends. Each person can hold one policy to ensure protection for the entire family.

As a member of the BDO Group, BDO Insure provides personalized insurance advice and claims assistance for a variety of needs, from health to auto and business insurance.
