My life as a Financial Advisor started with a dream – a dream to become capable of uplifting the lives of my family and to help my countrymen protect their dreams. I know, this is a challenging path but a heart with the purest intentions will always find a way.

I started as a part-time Financial Advisor last August, 2019. With little knowledge on sales, I pulled out the bravery in me to reach out to people nearest me and offer Financial Planning service. I started my career with 20 policies in my first 4 months. I went as far as Urdaneta Pangasinan, Angeles Pampanga, Nueva Ecija, Pagsanjan and Sta. Rosa Laguna, walked the streets of San Juan, Quezon City, Makati, Tondo, Las Pinas even late at night to meet my clients and listen to their plans and their dreams. At the start of the year 2020, I strategized and used my knowledge on internet marketing to expand my market reach. Though the pandemic came in March, 2020, it did not stop me from closing around 80 policies in the midst of the pandemic.

My life as a Financial Advisor has its highs and lows. But regardless of what life will offer, that very dream that pushed me to jump in this career will always be one of my guiding lights to reach out to my countrymen – be it few, many, poor, rich, regardless of gender and status in life.  I will hold on to my purpose, I will continue dreaming while striving and striving while dreaming and I will continue to feed the bravery in me so when a Filipino needs my service, I will be ready.

I am Rodel Bulan, a Filipino, a Senior Financial Advisor of AIA.
