CORPORATE PROFILE

Perla Compania de Seguros, Inc. (Perla Insurance) was incorporated in 1963 and has its Corporate Headquarters at the Second Floor of Perla Mansion, 117 Carlos Palanca Street, Legaspi Village, Makati City. We have established fifteen other branches to service our clientele throughout the country.

Also known as Perla Insurance, we have committed ourselves to provide an efficient and conveniently accessible service to all our Assureds. Concrete proofs of this commitment are the thirteen branches, all company-owned buildings in the key cities of Bacolod, Butuan, Cabanatuan, Cagayan de Oro, Cebu, Cotabato, Davao, Dumaguete, Gen. Santos, Iloilo, Pagadian, San Pablo, Zamboanga. Perla Insurance also has a branch in Iligan and Valencia.

The vision of the company is to be among the major players in the non-life insurance industry, distinguished by our closeness to the market and our service excellence. Our success is built on our shared values of integrity, service excellence and financial stability. Through the excellent claims servicing provided by our professional and competent personnel and our decentralized branch set-up, we fulfill our mission to provide peace of mind and security to all our customers.

Our website, www.perlainsurance.com is our way of using technology to communicate with all our stakeholders. The site enables our clients to stay in touch with us and our prospective clients to know more about the products and services we offer.

As of December 31, 2020 Perla Insurance’ cash and total investment portfolio amounted to Php 1.25 Billion: 97% of total assets comprised of cash, short-term investments, stocks, government bonds and securities. The net worth of the company is at Php 1.18Billion with paid-up capital at P250 Million. Net Income for year 2020 was P50 Million.

Perla Insurance has entered into reinsurance treaties with professional reinsurers both here and abroad. This has enabled Perla Insurance to underwrite multi-million peso risks. With such resources to back up its contingent obligation, Perla Insurance can underwrite with confidence the different lines of non-life insurance: Fire, Motorcar, Personal Accident, Marine Cargo, Comprehensive General Liability, & Engineering.

This year we are expanding our network to service the growing needs of the non-life insurance clientele through the strength of an effective, efficient, dedicated & professional agency and workforce.

VISION

We will be among the major players in the non-life insurance industry, distinguished by our closeness to the market and our service excellence

MISSION

We provide the insuring public protection for their valuable assets against the risks of everyday life because their peace of mind and security is our primary concern We maximize the value of our enterprise for all our stakeholders

VALUES

In pursuing our vision and living our mission, we shall conduct business guided by our core values of:

Integrity – honoring our commitments and being honest and fair in all our dealings

Service Excellence – going beyond our customers’ highest service expectations by developing strong personal relationships with them and providing value-added products and services through empowered and highly motivated employees

Financial Stability – optimizing the use of our resources to sustain our financial strength and to assure our stakeholders of our long-term stability and continued profitable growth

PRESIDENTIAL REPORT

To all our Stakeholders:

When a customer purchases an insurance policy, he doesn’t get any tangible product in exchange for his hard-earned cash. What he is actually buying is a promise: a promise of financial support and compensation in some of his or her most difficult moments, in cases of loss or damage to valuable assets.

In this period of uncertainty, when so many insurance companies are closing down and suspending operations, the customer’s choice of whose promise to count on becomes even more crucial. Will the company that you place your trust in still be there to fulfill their promise when the moment comes for you to call on them to do so?

In an effort to protect the insuring public from companies that are ill-prepared to meet their obligations to their customers, the government has progressively increased the capitalization requirement for all insurance companies over the last few years. Through this process, poorly capitalized companies are weeded out of the market, leaving only those best prepared to serve their customers fairly and reliably.

I am pleased to announce that Perla Insurance has stayed well ahead of the curve in terms of meeting these capitalization requirements, with a total net worth close to P1.2 billion in 2020. We fully expect to meet the government’s ultimate goal of P1.3 billion in minimum capitalization, ahead of the 2022 deadline. We are excellently positioned to be one of the few surviving non-life insurance providers in a period of turbulence and consolidation in the insurance industry.

We have not achieved this enviable position easily. It is the result of our strategy of pursuing disciplined (and thus, profitable) growth, characterized by prudent and pro-active underwriting of risks, and going after only the best quality customers. We have targeted primarily business that will help us to achieve our required minimum returns, reducing our dependence on low margin classes of businesses and focusing more on our bottom line than our top line. This has allowed us to grow our company’s net worth primarily by achieving consistent annual net profit. Our P1.3 billion in liquid assets is a testament to the wisdom of this strategy, and provides our customers with the peace of mind and security that they deserve.

We continue to strengthen our human resource by recruiting competent people to join our team. We continue to invest in new technology. Having the right people and the right technology in place has allowed us to more effectively live out our philosophy of continuous process improvement, resulting in an enhanced ability to delight our customers and agents and build long term win-win relationships with all our stakeholders.

I would like to thank all our employees and agents for their enthusiasm and dedication in going the extra mile for our customers. I also would like to thank our customers and partners for placing your trust in us.

On behalf of the leadership team and the entire Perla Insurance family, we commit to devote our continued best efforts to build an organization that lives up to our deeply-held value of service excellence. We will be unwavering in our commitment to always deliver on the promises that we have made to you.

The last few years have been excellent for Perla Insurance. But the best is yet to come.
