Cebuana Lhuillier Insurance Brokers wins Insurance Asia’s Domestic Broker of the Year for the 5th straight year

Making insurance more accessible has never been simply about expanding reach. It is about creating solutions that respond to the realities of everyday life, empowering more Filipinos to protect what matters most. Guided by this commitment, Cebuana Lhuillier Insurance Brokers (CLIB) continues to raise the standard for inclusive insurance, earning its fifth consecutive Domestic Broker of the Year—Philippines recognition at the Insurance Asia Awards 2026.

Presented annually, the Insurance Asia Awards recognize outstanding insurers, brokers, and industry players across the Asia-Pacific region that demonstrate excellence in innovation, customer service, and market leadership. CLIB’s latest recognition reflects its sustained efforts to simplify insurance, remove barriers to financial protection, and deliver solutions that are more accessible, relevant, and responsive to the evolving needs of Filipinos.

“At Cebuana Lhuillier, we have always believed that insurance should be within everyone’s reach, regardless of circumstance,” said Cebuana Lhuillier President and CEO Jean Henri Lhuillier. “This recognition reflects the progress we have made in advancing financial inclusion through protection. But our work is far from over. As the needs of Filipinos continue to evolve, we remain committed to expanding access to insurance and developing solutions that help more families build greater financial security.”

In 2025, CLIB generated ₱1.766 billion in premiums, representing a 24 percent year-on-year increase, alongside 26 percent growth in peso revenues and 24 percent growth in US dollar revenues.

Working with a network of 40 insurance partners, the company now provides protection to more than 21.3 million insured Filipinos through a hybrid distribution model that combines the reach of Cebuana Lhuillier’s nationwide branch network with digital innovations.

By strategically positioning its branches in high-traffic malls across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, CLIB has not only bridged the gap between traditional financial distribution and modern consumer needs but has also redefined how and where insurance services are delivered.

This commitment to purposeful innovation is reflected in Cebuana Lhuillier Insurance Brokers’ expanding portfolio of insurance solutions, with offerings tailored to the diverse protection needs of Filipinos, including Mindcare, which broadens access to coverage by recognizing the importance of mental well-being.

Cebuana Lhuillier Insurance Brokers, Inc. Senior Vice President and General Manager Atty. Isagani Acosta said the recognition reflects the company’s ability to consistently transform its vision into meaningful outcomes for customers.

“This award reflects the strength of our insurer partnerships, the dedication of our people, and our continued focus on delivering a seamless customer experience,” said Acosta. “As the protection needs of Filipinos continue to evolve, we will keep strengthening our distribution network, enhancing our digital capabilities, and developing practical insurance solutions that are easy to understand, accessible, and relevant to everyday life.”

Beyond its leadership in the Philippines, CLIB is helping drive the global evolution of inclusive insurance through the Microinsurance Master Accelerator Program. By contributing its experience in designing scalable and accessible protection models, CLIB is helping influence international approaches to financial inclusion while showcasing Philippine innovation to the world.

As CLIB celebrates its fifth consecutive award as Domestic Broker of the Year, the company remains committed to its goal of providing inclusive insurance through innovation, deeper collaborations, and customer-centric solutions that will make financial protection more accessible and more meaningful for every Filipino.
