July 3-4, 2014 marked another milestone in the microinsurance industry in Asia as GIZ RFPI Asia, Munich Re Foundation, and Microinsurance Network co-organized a conference dubbed “Microinsurance Learning Session Asia and Oceania: Implications of the Landscape Study” at the Grand Ballroom of Diamond Hotel in Malate, Manila.

Speakers from different microinsurance organizations in Asia such as those from India, Pakistan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mongolia, and Nepal among others discussed various microinsurance trends and developments in the region. As one of the speakers, Cebuana Lhuillier Insurance Solutions (CLIS) General Manager Jonathan Batangan presented CLIS’ achievements and lessons learned from Typhoon Haiyan (“Yolanda”). He cited the necessity of coming out with relevant and responsive products, heightened awareness and increased customer touch points, and accessibility as drivers of customer value and reach in microinsurance.

CLIS also hosted the conference’s Dinner Reception which, together with the delegates, was also attended by International Labour Organization-Microinsurance Innovations Facility Chair Craig Churchill and Munich Re Vice Chair Dirk Reinhard.

The conference was also made possible with the support from the Department of Finance and the Philippine Insurance Commission.

CLFI opens first Community Learning Center in Pasig

 

Last July 14, Cebuana Lhuillier Foundation Inc. (CLFI) unveiled the first DepEd-Cebuana Lhuillier Community Learning Center at Nagpayong Elementary School in Pinagbuhatan, Pasig City, kicking off a series of nationwide launches.

CLFI, in partnership with the Department of Education, is boosting DepEd’s nationwide Alternative Learning System (ALS) program by providing out-of-school youth and adults a second chance at attaining a high school diploma. CLFI will provide computer sets, teaching equipment, and other learning materials for 16 Community Learning Centers across the country.   
    
“The Alternative Learning System is the means to realize the goals which are academics, livelihood, and spiritual or social enhancement,” said Atty. Cesar Vidal, CLFI Executive Trustee.

Also present during the event were OIC of the Office of the Assistant Regional Director of DepEd NCR Dr. Ponciano Menguito, Region 1 Manager Felix Contapay, and Head of Pawnshop Operations Miko Jimenez, who emphasized how education, through the ALS, can transform lives.

CLMI partners with 1GANAP to provide insurance for volunteer peacekeepers

 

In an effort to reach out to various groups and sectors in the society, Cebuana Lhuillier Microinsurance (CLMI) formed a partnership with 1 GUARDIANS Nationalist of the Philippines (1GANAP) through a Memorandum of Agreement Signing held recently in Makati City.

 

1GANAP is an organization composed of both active and retired military personnel who aims to promote the values of brotherhood and unity. They also act as community volunteers during calamities and natural disasters. Because of this, they are one of the first groups to be tapped by the government when it comes to providing assistance to people in need.

 

1GANAP is one of the first groups to benefit from TanodCARE, CLMI’s group insurance specially designed for community peacekeepers and volunteers. For only P125, its members can get at least P50,000 coverage for accidental death, unprovoked murder and assault, permanent total disability, and even medical reimbursement valid for one year.  Extended reach also includes the insured’s relatives and constituents.

 

“Thanks to the efforts of Cebuana Lhuillier Area Manager Adrian Bernados and his team, members of 1GANAP will be insured by TanodCARE so they can continue to aid and protect the people without worrying about their own safety. We acknowledge that the organization go through great lengths in protecting the people, so CLMI will ensure that they will get the same treatment as well,” said CLMI General Manager Jonathan Batangan.

 

According to Batangan, the Philippines is one of the leading countries in microinsurance globally. However, only 23% of the population in the Philippines is insured. With natural disasters and calamities becoming a regular occurrence in the country, the government sees the need for microinsurance.

 

Through the introduction of TanodCARE and other group insurance products, Cebuana Lhuillier aims to educate the people on the concept of microinsurance and its importance, with plans to develop more insurance products to suit each and every Filipino.
