Philam Life, the largest, the leading, and the most trusted life insurance company in the country today, recently celebrated remarkable achievements as it commemorated its 65th anniversary this year during a gala dinner at the Rizal Ballroom of Makati Shangri-la Hotel.

The company – which was recently awarded its 8th Trusted Brand Platinum Award by Reader’s Digest, earning for itself the recognition to be the only financial institution in Asia to achieve such feat – unveiled its new advertising campaign dubbed as “Real People, Real Stories.”

Philam Life also launched its new logo, leveraging on its membership in the AIA Group Limited, the largest independent publicly-listed pan-Asian life insurance group in the world.

“Our partnership with AIA is a very timely development that will provide a huge boost to Philam Life’s mission of empowering more and more Filipinos through financial security and prosperity,” said Rex Mendoza, president and chief executive officer of Philam Life.

Among those who attended the evening’s celebration were Gordon Watson, executive vice president and regional managing director of AIA; Mark Tucker, AIA group chief executive; Reynaldo Centeno, senior executive vice president and chief operating officer of Philam Life; Jessica Abaya, senior vice president and head of marketing of Philam Life; and Max Ventura, executive director of Philam Life Foundation, Inc.

In an ever-changing business landscape, the need for financial security and prosperity becomes even more imperative. Philam Life, throughout the years, has maintained its status as a market leader by delivering on its promises and going beyond just providing services for the financial needs of Filipinos.

With this in mind, Philam Life continues to extend its services to more Filipinos as it makes life insurance a relevant tool in shaping their own futures.
