"We are working very hard to develop a product fit for the needs of the people and make it affordable for the most rural or provincial area," Dally added.
On the other hand, Generali Pilipinas Executive Vice President for Sales and Marketing Joe Ferreria said their strength lies on recognizing the importance of their agents. "We support them not just the financial but also the educational side," he said speaking of the training they provide to their agents thereby inculcating the value of quality service they will provide to their clients.
