My name is Rodrigo Lagdameo and I am an independent agent representing Aflac. With all my knowledge regarding online marketing, I decided to start writing a blog about what Aflac does and how we help individuals, families and businesses. This blog will comment on recent trends in the health care industry and health issues facing our world.

Aflac is a supplemental insurance provider for individuals and businesses. For indivduals, if you get hurt or miss work, we pay you directly. We don’t pay the doctor or hospital, unless you want us to. For businesses, we enable you to make additional coverage to your people – without direct costs to your business.
