"A critical illness policy gave me something money can’t manufacture on its own: choice."

​In late 2024, Katrina Naguiat-Madarang’s life changed in an instant with a breast cancer diagnosis. Facing surgery, recovery, and the pressure of running a business, Kat had to lean on the exact safety nets she spent her career advocating for.

​In Episode 124 of the Desjardins Discovery Series: Unplugged podcast, Kat shares her powerful story of legacy, survival, and finding strength across three generations—from her grandfather’s roots in the Philippines to her own fight today.
​It’s equal parts raw, real, and inspiring. You won't want to miss this one.

Thank you to the Association of Filipino Canadian Accountants (AFCA BC) for having us as speakers at your Spring Professional Development Seminar today!

​It was a privilege to share the stage with Jay Mallari (Cambria Wealth) and Ed Paguirigan, CPA, to discuss the "Ethical Triangle"—and how insurance strategies, wealth management, and corporate tax must coordinate seamlessly to protect business owners.

​In an evolving financial landscape, maintaining total transparency and upholding strict professional standards is more critical than ever.

Thank you to the AFCA BC leadership team and all the members who attended and engaged so deeply.

​Looking forward to continuing these strong, ethical collaborations! 🤝💼

Attending the IDC Worldsource Spring Education Day was a great reminder that the best way to support our clients is often to say less and listen more. While many focus on "being heard," we believe true client care is rooted in the opposite: the ability to listen deeply and react precisely to what our clients actually need.

​IDC fosters an environment that values this level of intentionality. When we prioritize understanding over speaking, we aren’t just providing a service—we are providing a solution that actually fits.
