August 16, 2021 - PGA SOMPO is honored to be awarded as the "Virtual Insurer of the Year - Philippines" in the 6th Insurance Asia Awards 2021 which recognizes Asia’s most outstanding insurance companies that have successfully risen above challenges and made the most of the opportunities in the industry.

PGA SOMPO is one of the key players in the growing digital market in the insurance industry that immediately executes digital initiatives and covers all possible online channels. Despite the lockdown brought about by the pandemic, PGA SOMPO’s business operation was not affected; through their work from home arrangements and digital initiatives, the company needed to be creative to provide world class service- exceeding customers’ expectations and building brand loyalty as a result.

"Positioning an emphasis on opportunities to innovate has helped PGA SOMPO to emerge stronger amidst pandemic." Mr. Fumihiko Harada, PGAS President and CEO also emphasized.

July 1, 2021 - The month of July holds a special meaning for the employees and management of PGA Sompo Insurance Corporation. The Company recently celebrated its 30-year anniversary with a virtual event for the employees featuring virtual games, digital contests and exciting announcements from the management.

According to PGA SOMPO Chairman, Mr. Robert Coyiuto, Jr. "Thirty years on, it is clear that the joint venture between Prudential Guarantee and Assurance, Inc. and Sompo Holdings, Inc. remains a formidable and productive one.

The joint venture was considered a strategic breakthrough in the domestic non-life insurance industry as it capitalized on each company’s strengths. The unity is ceaseless in bringing the country's insurance industry to greater heights.

Amid the challenges brought about by COVID-19 pandemic, PGA SOMPO believes that communication and interaction among employees remain to be paramount as they navigate through the ongoing crisis.  While majority of the employees are still working from home, the Company launched “Salamat Post” on 15 March 2021.  

Coined after “Salamat po”, the Filipino words which means “Thank you”, “Salamat Post” is a peer-to-peer appreciation platform in the Employee Portal that enables employees to thank their colleagues directly.  A channel to boost communication, it enables the employees to let their peers know that their contribution makes a difference, and that they are appreciated when it happens.  This appreciation also comes with a bonus as it allows the sender of the message to give points to their colleagues which is convertible to cash.

Anchored on PGA SOMPO’s mission and core values, this platform is envisioned not just as a tool to enable appreciation or recognition for good work but also to build a scalable culture that will promote key cultural drivers such as teamwork, trust, collaboration, communication and respect.
