Another milestone is reached by Etiqa Philippines as it received its third consecutive Two-Golden Arrow recognition at the
2026 Golden Arrow Awards, affirming its sustained commitment to responsible
leadership, transparent business practices, and long-term stakeholder trust.
Organized by the Institute of Corporate Directors (ICD), the awards recognize
Philippine publicly listed companies and insurance companies for their corporate
governance performance. Publicly listed companies were assessed using the ASEAN
Corporate Governance Scorecard, while insurance companies were evaluated
through the Corporate Governance Scorecard.
A Two-Golden Arrow recognition signifies strong corporate governance performance
under the applicable scorecard. The assessment covers shareholders’ rights and
equitable treatment, stakeholder relations, sustainability and resilience, disclosure
and accountability, and the Board’s strategic direction and oversight of
management.
For policyholders and business partners, the recognition signals that the company
supports its commitments through disciplined decision-making, prudent risk
management, effective oversight, and transparent practices.
Anthony Lou Bernabe, President and CEO, said: “Trust is built when people know they
can count on us, especially when they need protection most. This recognition
strengthens our resolve to remain accountable to our customers, uphold the
promises we make, and deliver on our commitments. As the insurance and takaful
arm of the Maybank Group, we are guided by a shared responsibility to create
lasting value for the people and businesses we serve.”
Atty. Rolando Panes Jr., Senior Vice President, Legal and Corporate Secretarial,
said the third consecutive recognition reflects the consistent discipline and
accountability required at every level of the organization.
“Good governance is reflected in the discipline behind every decision, the rigor of our
oversight, and the transparency with which we account for our actions. It requires
clear responsibilities, effective controls, and a culture that holds itself to high ethical
standards. Sustaining these practices is fundamental to protecting stakeholder
interests and ensuring that our business remains resilient and accountable.”
Backed by the scale, financial ecosystem, and regional presence of the Maybank
Group, Etiqa Philippines combines strong local insurance capabilities with the
governance discipline expected of one of ASEAN’s leading financial services groups.
It will continue strengthening the practices that support stakeholder confidence and
responsible growth, with a focus on transparent leadership, prudent risk
management, and accessible solutions that help Filipinos protect what matters
most.
