FILIPINAS LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY was founded on 27 April
1933, as a subsidiary of Filipinas Compañia de Seguros, in response to the
Insurance Commission’s ruling that insurance companies must have separate life
and non-life business divisions. The parent company--Filipinas Compañia de
Seguros—had been founded earlier in 1913 by Antonio Melian with brothers-in-law Fernando Antonio and Enrique Zobel y de Ayala.
The business was briefly interrupted by the war, and when
FILIPINAS LIFE resumed its operations, it would flourish and become a dominant
name in industrial life insurance for over 30 years thru the 1970s. All the
more when FILIPINAS LIFE began advertising on radio, using a high-recall jingle
first heard on the airwaves in 1977.
LISTEN TO THE FILIPINAS LIFE JINGLE HERE:
Advertising icon Greg Macabenta of Advertising and
Marketing Associates (AMA), penned the lyrics, which was produced by Rusty
Velila. Music was provided by the famed
D’Amarillo Studio Orchestra while the singers were billed as “The Filipinas
Singers”.Needless to say, the FILIPINAS LIFE Jingle became one of
the most widely-heard jingles in the country, catapulting the company topmost
in the minds of Filipinos.
In 1990, FILIPINAS LIFE became Ayala Life Assurance Inc.
to underscore its transformation into a full-service life insurance company. Twenty
years later, it would be renamed BPI-Philam Life Assurance Corp.,( BPI-Philam ) following the
sale of BPI’s stake in Ayala Life to Philam Life.
Despite its new name, oldtimers still recall the insurance
giant’s former name through the strains of a memorable jingle that woke everyone
up in the early morning, singing along with its catchy chorus—FILIPINAS…FILIPINAS
LIFE…FILIPINAS LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY!!
