MANILA, PHILIPPINES – Philam Life, the country’s premier life insurer, once again proved its industry leadership as its financial advisers were recognized at the recently concluded Asia Trusted Life Agents & Advisers Awards.
Organised by Asia Insurance Review, Asia Advisers Network and LIMRA, the Awards celebrates the hard work and significant contributions made by agency leaders and advisers to the industry and customers across the entire region. This platform recognizes the unsung heroes of the insurance industry and highlights the role of agency leaders and advisers in this day and age. Now in its third year, the awards attracted 400 nominees from 14 markets representing 50 companies across the region.
Among those who were awarded during the Gala Dinner earlier this month was Philam Life’s Antonia Lucrecia Nicdao, recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award. Granted to those who have made an impact and legacy to the industry, the award recognizes Nicdao’s 45 years of outstanding contribution to enhancing the professionalism and image of the agency distribution force.
Another Philam Life Financial Advisor recognized for his outstanding track record and expert knowledge despite being new to the industry was Will Grape Chua. He was named as one of the five finalists for Rookie Insurance Agent of the Year.
“I would like to congratulate Ms. Nicdao and Mr. Chua for bringing honor to the company and exemplifying the high caliber Financial Advisors that Philam Life has been known for these past 71 years,” said Aibee Cantos, Philam Life Chief Executive Officer. “We remain steadfast in strengthening our agency force by providing them with the right tools and training to make sure that they are providing the best service to our customers,” he added.
Meanwhile, AIA Group Limited, Philam Life’s Hong Kong-based parent organization, also bagged various awards that further demonstrate the quality of its market-leading agency force across the region. These include Selena Wang of AIA Hong Kong, Rookie Insurance Agent of the Year; Amy Wat Chi Mei of AIA Hong Kong, Insurance Agent of the Year; and Divya Tusnial of TATA AIA–India, Inspirational Agent/Leader of the Year.
This stellar performance reflects Philam Life and AIA’s commitment to making greater investments towards upgrading its support infrastructure and digital tools to enhance agency activity and productivity across the region.
A total of four out of the 12 categories were won by various AIA Group-member companies. “We are delighted with our achievements at these respected industry awards, which clearly demonstrate the quality of our Premier Agents. We are fortunate to be working in the most dynamic and attractive life insurance markets in the world and truly appreciate the fundamentally important role played by our hardworking, dedicated agents, who remain important contributors to AIA’s ongoing success. We view personal interaction as the best way to instil the confidence and trust necessary to establish long-lasting customer relationships as we seek to bring vital financial protection to millions more people and their families across Asia-Pacific,” said Jacky Chan, AIA Regional Chief Executive.
