Looks like the Insurance Commission is now quick on this one – I just checked today and they have already released the Top Life Insurance Companies in the Philippines for 2010. Usually it takes more than 1 year before they make an update to their website. 😀 <keep up the good work>
The last time I made an update on the Top Insurance Companies in the Philippines was way back 2007 – see list here. Let’s make a quick comparison on who stayed on the top, who kept their rankings and who made good improvements after 3 years.

| 14 | Manulife Chinabank | 974,297,387 |
| 15 | Phil. Prudential | 828,153,747 |
Looking at the list, I’ve made some simple analysis based on
Who kept their rankings
- Philam Life remained at the top.
- Sunlife kept its 2nd position.
- Ayala Life now BPI Philam remained at the 6th spot.
- Generali is still at the 10th spot.
- Pioneer remained at #13.
Who made good improvements?
- Pru Life from #7 to #4.
- Axa Life moved from #4 to #3.
- Grepalife from #8 to #9.
Decliners
- Insular from #3 to #5.
- Manulife from #5 to #7.
- United Cocolife from #8 to #9.
- National Life dropped from top 15 .
- Great Life also dropped.
New Entries to Top 15
- Manulife Chinabank (I’m not sure if it’s the same with Manufacturers Life Insurance Co., Inc. The (Branch)
- Phil Prudential at #15.
Please take note that in the end it wouldn’t really matter if your life insurance policy doesn’t belong to the Top Insurance Companies in the Philippines. As long as they are able to keep what they have promised to you, that for me will always be the best insurance company. (Altho for sure, others will say that it will simply show how stable is the company).

Oh, just a quick note. Most likely, anyone in the Top 5 rankings can easily say that they are #1. Might be true coz there are different parameters used like first year premiums, premium income, first year premiums + 10% of single premium. The same reason why there are more than one company claiming to be the #1. 😀

Meron ba safety net ang policy holder when a insurance company went into conservator? So sad that i was a victim of this insurance co.
An insurance tidbit: Pru Life UK would have been the top life insurance firm in the country had it’s mother company in England reached a deal with AIG in June 2010 to buy the latter’s Asian unit (which includes Philam Life). Both had agread in March 2010 on the acquisition price of $35.5 billion, but following objections of its shareholders, Pru had to ask for a lower price of $30.38 billion. AIG rejected the offer.
