This contest aimed to emphasize the importance of fulfilling one’s commitment to others and we believe that we Filipinos have the strength of character to stay true to our word and commit to others. This is the same commitment that we have for our planholders through the years, in fact we have paid over P2.3 billion in pension, education, and memorial plan benefits for the year 2011.” said Morta.
