About the Author


Maria Angelita Quero-Rufin (a.k.a. Jeng, Angeli, Angelita, Angge, Maria, Angie) has been an employee of the Insurance Commission for more than two decades. She was a member of the Technical Working Group for the Financial Literacy on Microinsurance and has participated in various efforts to develop and promote Microinsurance. 


She resides in Bacoor, Cavite with her family – in a modest subdivision where she found a good sense of community, but which has not discovered yet the value of Microinsurance and Mutual Benefit Associations. With this book, she hopes to bring to her community leaders’ attention the said people-empowering tools, and thus, further improve the peace, cohesiveness, and relative stability among the residents there.
