Concern about the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic among insurance customers runs deeper in the Philippines than in most of Asia. This has prompted many Filipinos to adopt new habits around a healthier lifestyle and greater use of digital technology, according to a new Manulife survey. 

Nearly all of the Philippines-based respondents of the Manulife Asia Care Survey, who are all insurance policyholders, have adopted new lifestyle habits under the COVID-19 pandemic (98 percent). Majority of these new habits are geared towards healthier living and increased reliance on e-commerce, online, and digital services.
