The Public Relations Society of the Philippines (PRSP) is set to conduct a media literacy program this year designed to help high school students develop critical thinking and help them distinguish between a real news story and one that is “fake” — meant only to disinform the public. 

The media literacy program is in partnership with the Ayala Foundation Inc. and is being undertaken in response to the DepEd’s call to develop critical thinking among high school students as well as spur their understanding and appreciation on news and information. T

he literacy program was officially kicked off last February 24, during a turnover ceremony where PRSP received 500 survival bags from Ayala Foundation, Inc. These bags will be distributed to 10 selected high schools as beneficiaries.

CLIB provides insurance to marginalized

Cebuana Lhuillier Insurance Brokers Inc. (CLIB),  a future-ready insurance brokerage firm  focused on bringing the benefits of insurance coverage to marginalized Filipinos as well as micro, small and medium enterprises, provided coverage to over four million unique customers in 2023. 

CLIB has grown to be one of the largest retail insurance brokers in the country by providing insurance to millions of Filipino families.

 CLIB presently works with 40 plus reputable insurers and providers to develop insurance products that are tailor-made for the C and D market and fostered alliances with other major companies to streamline product distribution. 

CLIB uses what it calls a “TECHBRICK” setup aimed at increasing product range and improving services by seamlessly and rapidly integrating its proprietary technology platform (TECH) with a robust brick-and-mortar footprint (BRICK) to create an affordable and extensive insurance product portfolio that can be easily accessed and purchased either through digital platforms or by visiting any of Cebuana Lhuillier’s close to 3,500 branches or 6,500 partner outlets nationwide.

CLIB’s goal to revolutionize the local insurance industry has already bore fruit.

 Anthony  Bernabe, CLIB general manager and group head, said the biggest challenge they have and will continue to have is evolving customer needs. 

 “Customers have become more price-sensitive and now demand for more affordable products. To add, relevant, simple to understand products, and seamless experience from a trusted company have become the minimum customer expectation. While digital is being pushed by the industry, most customers still prefer physical connections when purchasing insurance”.
