Another milestone for Etiqa Philippines!
The company has once again been recognized for its strong commitment to ethical and responsible business practices after being awarded Two Golden Arrows at the 2025 Golden Arrow Recognition for Excellence in Corporate Governance, held on October 23, 2025 at Okada Manila. The award is organized annually by the Institute of Corporate Directors (ICD) and is based on the ASEAN Corporate Governance Scorecard (ACGS), which evaluates organizations on globally aligned corporate governance principles.
This recognition marks the second consecutive year that Etiqa Philippines has received the Two Golden Arrow distinction, and the third year overall that the company has been recognized at the Golden Arrow Awards. This deeply reinforces its continued dedication to maintaining strong governance structures and responsible leadership.
The Golden Arrow distinction is awarded to publicly listed companies and insurance companies that achieve high scores in the ACGS assessment. The scorecard measures how well a company upholds shareholders’ rights, ensures equitable treatment, manages relationships with stakeholders, and demonstrates transparency and accountability through timely disclosure. It also evaluates the Board’s effectiveness in providing strategic direction and oversight. Ranking highly in the ACGS signifies not only compliance, but a strong, values-driven organizational culture supported by ethical decision-making and sustainable business practices.
The award was accepted on behalf of Etiqa Philippines by Anthony M. Bernabe, President & CEO, who attended the ceremony together with Modesta P. Mammuad, OIC Chief Financial Officer, and Gladys G. Pascual, Head of Strategy & Transformation and OIC Chief Operations Officer. They were also joined by Ricardo Jacinto, Independent Director of Etiqa Philippines, whose presence underscores the Board’s vital role in championing governance excellence across the organization.
Reflecting on the recognition, Mr. Bernabe stated: “Being recognized among the country’s top corporate governance performers validates our belief that sound governance is the cornerstone of a sustainable and trusted organization. This honor reflects our ongoing pursuit of excellence and our responsibility to uphold the highest ethical standards in serving our customers and communities.”
Etiqa Philippines continues to strengthen its governance framework to ensure that transparency, accountability, and stakeholder trust remain at the core of its operations. Through disciplined oversight, data-driven decision-making, and a culture grounded in responsibility, the company remains committed to creating long-term value for its customers, employees, shareholders, and partner communities.
