Insular Life honors 2017 top sales achievers
Insular Life, the largest Filipino life insurance company, recognized the outstanding members of its agency force for their exemplary sales performance in 2017.
This year’s Insular Life Testimonial Dinner and Awards Night, held last March 8 at Blue Leaf Filipinas in Parañaque City, had “Gifts InLife” as its theme as Insular Life believes that the sheer dedication and passion of its agency force are gifts not just to the company but to their clients, families and country as a whole.
Insular Life President and Chief Executive Officer Mona Lisa B. Dela Cruz said during her opening remarks that the company will not be able to fulfill its mission of providing life insurance protection to the Filipino community without its dedicated financial advisors, the “InLifers”.
“You are a big gift to Insular Life,” she said. “Your hard work, dedication, persistence and loyalty can never go unnoticed.”
She added that Insular Life has remained committed to its mission amid the everchanging social, political and economic landscape, and endeavored to be a sociallyresponsible corporate citizen.
“As such, Insular Life is also a gift to the country for its many efforts in nation building,” Ms. Dela Cruz said.
The awarding ceremony was graced by Insular Life executives, top sales performers, honors club qualifiers, drive qualifiers, services awardees, and members of the media. The night itself was a special gift to all the InLifers for their notable accomplishments and efforts last year.
The Gawad Haribon National Award, the most sought- after recognition of the night, was given to Nunnatus A. Cortez, Renato T. Ceniza, Ida S. Jacob, Myrna R. Cortez, Arslie M. Malipero, Krizia Mae A. Blanco, and Eduardo O. Viloria Jr.
