As millions of Filipinos shift to non-traditional work arrangements, many remain without health coverage, accident protection, or the safety nets enjoyed by regular employees. BPI Freelancer addresses this gap by offering flexible and accessible protection tailored to the unique needs of the freelance and self-employed community.
“As more Filipinos carve their own path in the freelance and entrepreneurial space, BPI and BPI MS are leading the way in crafting inclusive financial solutions for this new generation of workers,” said Noriyuki Kobayashi, President and CEO of BPI MS Insurance.

“BPI Freelancer represents our deep understanding of modern Filipino needs and our commitment to helping them thrive,” he added.
BPI Freelancer is open to Filipinos aged 18 to 65 and offers flexible coverage options. Clients may choose individual protection, extend coverage to up to four dependents, or enroll a group of up to five individuals, even without including themselves. This versatility makes the plan ideal not only for independent freelancers but also for those seeking to safeguard their families, partners, or teams.
