Danvil Claims Update – January 2016
After the long uneasy silence of the Insurance Commission (IC), comes a breath of hope for many Danvil (formerly Family First) policy holders. The latest on the Danvil Claims Update comes in the form of a notice coming from the Atty. Rony D. Togonon, the IC-Designated Liquidator for Danvil Plans, Inc. The notice dated January 5,2016 is saying that the first batch of payments are about to be processed.
source: insurance.gov.ph
Good News
Good news first. The Insurance Commission has finally approved the payment of claims of Danvil planholders whose plans matured on or before October 10, 2013. Another notice will be published as soon as the checks are ready for release. The said notice will provide for the manner in which the distribution is to be made plus the other developments with regards to Danvil claims.
Bad News
And now for the bad news. The other planholders not covered by the designated cut-off date will have to stew a while longer. The same notice states that all others will be included in the second batch of release. When that would be, your guess is as good as mine.
What Can the Planholders Expect?
As of this time, it is not clear what amount claimants can expect to get after the long wait. Is it the amount actually invested or will it come with interest? The notice is silent with regards to this question. Hopefully this will be cleared out in the next notices that IC will be coming out with.
My Say
I have to admit that hopelessness within me about my Danvil claim started to creep in when the year 2015 closed without hearing any news from the Insurance Commission. This notice is certainly most welcome. Will it be too much to ask to expedite the rest of the procedure from hereon to allay the fears of many that the funds may not be enough to pay all claimants?

Latest Update: First Batch of Payment
As per notice dated January 21, 2016, payment for the first batch will start on January 26, 2016 at the Danvil office located at 2nd Flr. PPSTA Bldg. 1 Quezon Avenue cor. Banawe Street, Quezon City. Planholders claiming their checks must bring the original copies of the Policy Face Page, Contract Provision, Certificate of Full Payment, plus 2 government-issued IDs. Planholders included in the 2nd batch should wait for further announcements.

ELCITA TUMOC
Can i file my claim even if i did not fully pay my future Provider plan and Family Shield Plan..I have all the receipts of payment, confirmation and other documents to prove that I am an investor/policy hoder..
ELCITA TUMOC
I want to file my claim and want all the amount I paid be given back to me with interest. There was no notice that Family First became Berkley International to Danvil Plans. Their office in Las Pinas closed without any notice where to contact or see them. Please reply ASAP
Ann Fatima Cenidoza Tanchingco in reference to Claim of Aileen Cenidoza-Ramos
I would like to ask how can I contact Danvil Plans? and their office as well. My sister has gotten an insurance as well with Family First located in Megamall about 10 years ago, I would to take our claim on that insurance as well since Family First has gotten big amount of money on her card back then.

Ahhhh, napaka irrespectous naman talaga ng Danvil – di man lang masabihan kahit na sa paanong paraan mga plan holders sa mga nangyayari.
I hope makahabol pa kami to claim what is supposed to be claimed?
Kandahirap makabayad ng premiums, maghintay at magtyaga, pagkatapos pag palapit na pinakahihintay mong maturity period, mas kandahirap at mas masakit ang malalaman mong wala pa lang hinhintay kundi ” wait again and hope again” dahil na-liquidate!
I submitted the required documents thru e-mail to rdtlaw21@gmail.com as you’ve mentioned.
Thanx Teresa, for being there.

Hello po, lumabas na po yong name ko sa 2nd batch this sept, kac and2 pa ako sa ibang bansa anytime pwede nman po iclaim yong check ko po di ba?Wala po bang deadline ang issuing ng check? I appreciate your immediate response
Teresa Martinez
Sa pagkakaalam ko po, prepared na ang mga checks for plan holders na nasa list na, so possible na maging stale na yung checks nyo after 6 months as per regular banking practice. Hindi po natin alam kung gaano katagal naman mapalitan kung magkaganun. I suggest that you try to get it as soon as practicable on your side.
Rosalie Simon Sanjose
Saan po nkkita ang list para makita ko kung nsa list na name ko dhil nka due nko ng June 7 2022 po

Please make a follow up directly with the Danvil office. The articles posted here are just for the guidance of fellow plan holders like me. AGAIN, I AM NOT CONNECTED WITH DANVIL AND THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING I CAN DO TO EXPEDITE ANY CLAIM BEYOND PROVIDING INFORMATION TO POLICY HOLDERS WHO MAY NOT KNOW THAT DANVIL HAS CLOSED.

A pleasant greetings! Follow up of my claims. Its already September 29, 2016. Any update on the release of the second/third batch. Thanks and God bless.
Teresa Martinez
I posted the latest update from the Insurance Commission at https://teresay.com/danvil-claims-batch-2-update-september-2016/. I hope you can find your name on their added list. Just would like to make it clear though that I am in no way connected to Danvil except as a plan holder as well just like you, so I am not able to provide an answer as to the status of specific claims. I have also listed their given numbers as contained in the Insurance Commission’s latest announcement so you can follow up with the right people.

A pleasant greetings! Re my claim from Danvil Plans, Inc. with PD Contract FPN 608203 CFP # 0231610. Filed last May 13, 2016 submitting all the needed documents to PPSTA Building I, 419 Brgy Lourdes, Banawe St. corner Quezon Avenue, Quezon City. I was told to follow it up starting July 2016. I keep calling since July, August 2016 until last Monday, September 5, 2016. Unfortunately, no positive response received yet. Kindly fast track my request as a birthday gift for me on September 17.
Thank you and praying a lot to consider my request.
God bless us always.
Teresa Martinez
Unfortunately, I am not able to do anything to fast track the release of your claim. I am not in any way connected to Danvil. Like you, I am just one of the many policyholders they have. I just decided to publish these info to spread the word that Danvil is under liquidation and that policyholders should be filing a claim to at least get back what we paid for. Getting our expected benefits appear to be impossible at this point.
dolores cordero
hello po, saan ba makikita yung names ng mga nagfile na at meron ng cheque …binigyan kasi ako ng website na doon daw tingnan kung kasama na yung name ko sa list pero di ko alam kung saan dito titingnan…yung website ay http://www.insurance.gov.ph

Hi mam. Any update for the third batch of payment claims? I already submitted my application of claims last April, 2016 & they told me to follow-up by July. I already called every phone numbers & email they given with no luck of response. I’m working abroad now. What should I do?
Teresa Martinez
There are talks that Danvil is still processing claims for the 3rd batch of claimants who were not included in the first two batches of release. However, no official notice has been released as of yet. I will be posting an update once it is available.
Racquel
Hi, Teresa! My husband and I lived abroad and we have policies that will be going to matured on 2020 and I just checked it today August 14, 2016 that the danvil was closed already and they did not even send us letter or informed us. We already fully paid and we have the certificate of full payment. Can we file a claim now? Can you please tell me what to do because we are here in US.
Enrico Facto

Elena F. Acpal
Hello Madam Teresay,
I just learned today na close na pala ang Danvil Plans thru their website online. I’m now aCanadian citizen. Pueda pa ba ako magclaim at authorize ko na lang brother ko na magclaim para sa akin? Sa Jan. 2019 maturity date ang insurance ko sa Family First Inc., fully paid already. Too late na ba magclaim? Hope not yet. This is our hard earned money, how come that this owner do this to us. Kung di siya magbabayad sa ating mga nagkandahirap sa ating hard earned money, makakarma rin siya. Please let me know my dear Teresay if I can still claim so that I will send my Brother all my Receipts that i fully paid and they did not even issue me a cert. of full payment. And I will also send authorization letter to claim for my brother to do it for me. Is this possible still?
Thank you so much and have a great day! GOD BLESS….
Kind Regards,
Elena F. Acpal

I advise you to get in touch with Danvil immediately so you can file your claim.

Mam Teresa, I tried calling danvil and also send email but no replies. My 2 policies are already fully paid recently. Is certificate of full payment is a must? I dont have this document.

irene libradilla
Hi Ma’am . I have a concern, hope you could send me some advice or suggestion . Just today ,when I browse the website of insurance commission , I did not expect that my name had already in the list of second batch to claim my checque payment and the schedule was lapsed already last June 9 . Since I’m from Davao is there any other way to claim my checque? Is it okay that I have a representative to claim my payment . I’ve been contacting their numbers but unfortunately its always not yet accessible.
Teresa Martinez
Yes, I believe you can still claim it as the ones they are not entertaining are those who come earlier than their given schedule. Just make sure that you have the original copies of the required documents so you will not waste your time going back and forth. By the way, have you previously submitted copies of these documents?
irene libradilla
Hi Maam , thanks for the reply…yes i already submitted the copies..
Maria Aquino
Hi,
I just found out about Danvil’s Plan INC. I signed up with them in October or November 2008 while strolling in San Fernando Pampanga Mall. I tried to cancel my policy few months after but I was told I would lose my initial deposit. My bank account was taken out several times more before I finally cancelled my card. Do you think, I would be able to get some if not full of my money back? I live in abroad and all I have with me is my policy #, exchange email from Danvil, a receipt from them and my bank statement. Thank you for your help.
Maria
Teresa Martinez
You can still contact the Danvil office to check if you are entitled to any claim with regards to payments you made.
Lemuel Capanzana
Hello ma’am, It happens I bumped my statement of account of Family First. Can I claim it?How can I apply?
Teresa Martinez
Contact the Danvil office to verify this.
Charisma
HI, as a beneficiary of family first ,inc, and not being aware that it was already closed, can I still claim it? please advise. Thank you.
Teresa Martinez
As long as you are able to provide the documents to show your valid claim then I believe you will still be able to claim the payments made.
Edna Odulio
Hi, my husband has a matured plans with Danvil. He already filed the required documents to the IC-Designated Liquidator. My question is how much will he received, the amount of premium that we have paid or the full maturity benefits since maturity date of his policy is Feb. 24, 2016. Thank you.
Teresa Martinez
There are unconfirmed reports that plan holders included in the 2nd batch will only receive the amount they actually paid, meaning without any interest. I believe IC is set to provide its official announcement sometime the last week of March or the 1st week of April.
Maria Castillo
Dear Ms. Martinez,
I am living abroad and my documentations were left with our lawyer. It so happens that I was browsing the NET as to what happened to Danvil Inc. when I came across your article. We have fully paid our contribution, however, Danvil never sent me a statement that this was so. Even the letter you posted was never sent to us. Are you saying that we have to check if the name of the plan holder is in the Danvil list of payees? If you could please correspond to me via my official email: m.castillo@unido.org.
Thank you!
Maria Castillo
Teresa Martinez
Hi Maria.You can try to contact the numbers provided in my related article https://teresay.com/the-danvil-plans-inc-liquidation-process/ as only Danvil can provide the suitable answer for your certificate of full payment. With regards to all notices posted here, these are all taken from the Insurance Commission website and I believe no one had the benefit of getting any more notices (including myself) when the Danvil offices closed. The list being mentioned here is the first batch of payees approved for payment based on the date of maturity cut-off they have provided.
Edna
Hi, what is the date of maturity cut-off that you have mentioned here? I’ve read in the recent directive that Danvil’s obligation to the planholder be settled in the ff manner: to wit ..Planholder with MATURE PLANS will receive the full maturity benefits. Planholders with fullly paid (but not yet MATURED) plans, the premium they paid will be returned to them in full….Was there a cut-off date set with the maturity date of plans?
Thank you for your time and concern.
Teresa Martinez
The first batch includes all planholders with plans that matured on or before October 10,2013. I believe they were given the maturity amount. There is no official announcement yet coming from IC with regards to the amount that will be paid to the second batch although there are unconfirmed reports that the amount to be given is only up to to the premium paid. We can only hope that the full maturity benefits will also be given so let’s wait for the announcement from IC.
Emily B. Tan
Teresa, I am Emily B. Tan, Ph.D., a retired teacher of a well known university. I just learned this month that Family First Inc. is paying the investors by batch. i did not yet file my claim to the benefits due me. I own two policies, Policy #FPN046759 which matured on June 2, 2016 and Policy #FPN257392 which shall mature on June 26, 2020. I did not yet receive the two certificates of Full Payment but these were already fully paid. How do I claim my benefits? I tried dialing the numbers but nobody answers and tried sending my claim message to Danvil through email but unfortunately there is still no response. Will you please help me? Thank you! Emily
Ral FroiVar
First of all, my thanks to you, Teresa, for the detailed info re Danvil Plans issue you have generously researched and posted.
I have read the latest “good news here” that you have from the “insurance.gov.ph” website, as latest advisory of Danvil Plans liquidator, Atty. Rony D. Togonon (rdtlaw21@gmail.com).
Now, this tantalizing quandary (in a manner of tweeting) just when is the actual “RELEASE” of our 1st Batch Checks guaranteed Date? Pardon the punctuations (“with malice tiwards none, with charity…)
Ral FroiVar
Hirap sa English ang magsabi nang simple lang at tunay na damdamin. Cguro, ito na lang, ‘Por favor, kailangan lang talaga ng pambayad namin sa mga “iou” namin.’ Sana marelease na agad ang balance payable po namin mula pa ng unang partial payment sa nagmature namin na “pre-need” plan last Dec. 2012 pa. Marami pong salamat, talaga.
Teresa Martinez
Unfortunately, everything is still wait-and-see. The listing of those to be included in the first batch is yet to be released either by IC or Danvil and the $64 question is of course when these funds will actually be released. As they say in our native language- abangan ang susunod na kabanata…
tjisla
Thanks for tracking updates for this. My dad have been waiting for updates and said no one’s answering in the office contact numbers. Keep us updated. We’ll try to source info as well.
MARY JANE BAJA
Hi Ms Teresa..my sister is the planholder and i was the one who received the 1st payment last June 2013 in Alabang. ..And the check was in my name.

I was also a policy holder like you and not in anyway connected to Danvil. I just shared the information several years ago, not really sure where they can be contacted as of this time.
