For Anne Curtis and Erwan Heussaff, the habits that shape a good life are not learned all at once but built in the small everyday moments at home. In partnership with Manulife Philippines, the couple is sharing how they are guiding their daughter, Dahlia, through two lessons meant to stay with her for years: from eating well to managing money wisely.

“At Manulife, we believe better health and financial confidence are built through the everyday choices families make. Anne and Erwan show how healthy habits and smart money decisions can start at home, in simple moments that children can carry with them as they grow,” said Joy Concepcion, Chief Marketing Officer, Manulife Philippines.

Two-thirds of Filipino adults surveyed in Manulife's Asia Care Survey provide family care, averaging 32 hours a week compared with the Asian average of 23 hours. About 68% financially support family members, allocating an average 48% of their monthly income to these responsibilities. The burden is particularly severe for the sandwich generation.

Among these adults, 74% said family financial responsibilities hinder their ability to become self-reliant, while 71% reported delaying medical care because of caregiving and financial obligations.

Manulife’s Asia Care Survey 2026, which surveyed 1,000 Filipino respondents as part of a nine-market study across Asia, suggests that many Filipinos now want to pass on something different: independence. Among adults aged 25 to 34, 95 percent agree that their own independence and financial freedom are the legacy they most want to leave their loved ones.

9 in 10 Filipinos say their primary longevity goal is to remain independent and self-sufficient for as long as possible, while 61% define freedom in later life as freedom from becoming a burden on others. Respondents also say they would allocate 60% of their financial assets toward funding their own health and care needs.

Some 67% of respondents care for a family member, spending an average of 32 hours a week—well above the regional average of 23 hours— while 68% provide financial support to relatives, committing nearly half their monthly income to these obligations.
