(CLIB) bagged the Domestic Broker of the Year – Philippines award at the Insurance Asia Awards 2022.

On its seventh year, the Singapore-based award honors exceptional insurance companies in Asia that deliver outstanding initiatives, products, and solutions to its clients.
The award affirms CLIB’s efforts to provide Filipinos with better access to more inclusive and affordable insurance and Cebuana Lhuillier’s market leadership and commitment to push financial inclusion to its stakeholders even in the times of uncertainty.

“We are deeply humbled by these prestigious awards. Year after year, we try to come up with innovative solutions for the market that we serve. This pandemic pushed us to elevate our services by expanding our digital footprint to meet the growing demands of our clients. We will continuously assert our relevance by constantly enabling our clients to get protected easily, anytime and anywhere,” said Jonathan Batangan, First Vice President and Group Head for CLIB.
“Since the pandemic started in 2020, CLIB showcased its innovations by digitizing its services using different apps and forging strategic partnerships with various online platforms. As an insurance brokerage offering a variety of affordable insurance products, CLIB was able to bridge the protection gap during the pandemic through digital payment aggregators, e-commerce, banking apps, the insurance marketplace, and online banking platforms,” added Anthony Lou Bernabe, CLIB Interim Group Head.
Its web-based app ProtectNow acts as a one-stop insurance shop, allowing clients to compare the lowest prices of insurance offerings, monitor their insurance policies and claims in real-time and aggregate the best possible insurance options for home, auto, travel, and family insurance needs from the most credible insurance companies in the Philippines.
