St. Peter Life Plans partners with Breakout Philippines, Celebrates Deathcare Week

There's no denying that everything comes to an end. You can not protect your family from the pain when they lose you. It's not only the emotional aspect but also financial. There's something you can do to help them and that's with proper planning and preparation.  After all, death is not the end of life but rather a part of it. As harsh as it sounds, we will be facing the inevitable whether we like it or not. 

In line with this, St. Peter, the Philipines' leading pre-need insurance company, celebrates DeathCare week and it's the best time to be aware of this hard reality.

The St. Peter DeathCare Week is a major Corporate Social Responsibility and Public Service Program of St. Peter Chapels that aims to promote awareness on DeathCare planning and preparation. It is also our way of joining the entire nation in commemorating All Saints' and All Souls' days (UNDAS), which are traditionally honored events for Filipinos. We are now on our 10th St. Peter DeathCare Week Celebration. The St. Peter DeathCare Week starts on October 27 and culminates on November 2 - Araw ng Patay each year. We picked these dates because All Saints' and All Souls' Day fall within this period and because it coincides with the anniversary date of the company. It is during these dates that Filipinos visit, honor and remember their departed loved ones.

To emphasize the need to plan ahead, not just for one's memorial needs but all times, St. Peter has partnered with Breakout Philippines, the country's first and premier escape room game. From October 1 to November 6, 2017, experience how it is to plan, solve and escape with St. Peter in the following Breakout rooms and branches: Paragon Plaza - Hide and Seek
SM North EDSA - Boogeyman and Sleep No More
Greenbelt 5 - Corpse Bride
Katipunan - Clownhouse


Employees, Sales Agents and St. Peter Plan Planholders can avail P100 off from the booking fee upon presenting their St. Peter employee ID, Sales Agent ID, Planholders Identification Card or the white copy of their St. Peter Life Plan Contract.

It's a Friday the 13th on the second week of October. Instead of experiencing bad luck, it was quite the contrary as we had a good one when we solved an interactive game with a couple of friends in Breakout at Greenbelt 5.

Breakout lets you experience different scenarios that you mostly see in movies. It's where teamwork is encouraged to solve puzzles and achieve your goal of escaping the room. In our case it was Corpse bride which has a difficulty of 4 out of 5. We were given the limited time of only forty-five minutes! 

Before entering the room, a waiver should be signed to guarantee that you are physically and mentally fit to take the challenge. For safety purposes, closed circuit television cameras are installed and placed strategically to monitor how the participants are doing and to check if anyone opts to leave the game.

Clues were scattered all around the dark room setup with old paintings, furniture, and creepy items. Finding the first hint was the most difficult thing and to locate it, you got to bring out the detective in you.

Surprisingly, there was only six minutes left on the clock when we managed to get out of the room. I swear, if I stayed another hour solving it, I might freak out and give up. Not everybody is successful at this. The girls team who were with us are not so lucky to get out of the room in time, probably because their challenge was more difficult. At the end of the day, patience and team work proved to the best strategy. Five heads are better than one.

Our team enjoyed the experience that everybody agreed to try another game soon.
