FAQs on the AXA-CPAIC merger

What is a merger?A merger is a transaction in which the ownership of companies, other business organizations, or their operating units are transferred or consolidated with other entities. Simply put, a merger is a combination of two companies into one.What is the AXA-CPAIC merger all about?In 2016, AXA Philippines acquired Charter Ping An Insurance Corporation (CPAIC), one of the top five1 non-life insurance companies in the country. Since then, the process of completing the integration has been ongoing to become one of the very first major insurers in the Philippines to offer both life and non-life products under one roof, so you only need to trust one partner for all your insurance needs. Since then, CPAIC has been officially operating under the AXA brand. The merger is the last step on the journey towards fulfilling both companies’ vision to become a one-stop shop for all your insurance needs.Is this merger already official and complete?Yes. Approval from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has been received on December 29, 2022 with an effective date of December 28, 2022.With the merger approved by the SEC, AXA Philippines and CPAIC is now a single corporation. Registration with other regulatory agencies such as the BIR, SSS, and Pag-Ibig are being updated to recognize AXA Philippines and CPAIC as a merged entity with AXA as the surviving entity and CPAIC as the absorbed entity. With AXA being the surviving corporation, it assumes all of CPAIC’s assets, liabilities, rights and obligations. What prompted this merger?The merger was prompted by a shared vision between AXA and CPAIC to give our customers better access to insurance and protection to safeguard everything that matters to them. Whether it’s life, health, or assets, our complete suite of insurance products is designed to address your needs.I have an insurance policy under CPAIC and with its merger with AXA Philippines, the surviving entity, what should I expect?Customers of CPAIC can expect the same exceptional level of service under AXA.We are converting CPAIC branches to become AXA branches that can serve both life and general insurance customers and this transition will continue in the future. Some of our agents are also licensed to sell both life and non-life insurance products. What happens to the insurance policies under AXA or CPAIC?All policies under either AXA Philippines or CPAIC which were existing prior to approval by the SEC of the merger shall remain valid and subsisting (in accordance with such policy’s relevant terms and conditions). Your insurance policy with us will still be active and in-force and will not be affected by this merger.With the SEC’s approval of the merger, all insurance policies either under AXA Philippines or CPAIC purchased before and after the merger will be honored and now serviced by the surviving entity, which is AXA Philippines.How does this merger benefit AXA’s customer base?This merger makes it easier and more convenient for our customers to protect what matters in their lives as they would need to go to only one insurance company for any kind of insurance product they would need, whether it’s life insurance, a health plan, a car insurance, or financial protection for their business or home. What is a composite license, and why is it important that AXA has it?A composite license awarded to an insurance company authorizes it to offer both non-life and life insurance simultaneously. Non-life insurance products include car insurance, home insurance, business insurance, etc. whereas life insurance pertains to products like health plans, savings and investment plans, and term-life insurance. The possession of a composite license enables AXA to offer a full range of insurance products and services to our policyholders who can then create security that will protect them, their families, their businesses, and their properties, such as vehicles and homes. In contrast, an insurance company that does not have a composite license can only give customers limited options, which can in turn compel them to go through the inconvenient process of purchasing various insurance policies from several insurance companies.What products and services does AXA offer now?We know how important it is to protect all that matters to you – and so now we would be able to provide customers with a full suite of insurance products: life, income protection, health, education, retirement and investment, home, auto, travel, marine and cargo, and commercial business. For more information, click on the ‘Products’ tab of this website.Can I get a life insurance product in the general insurance branch and vice versa?To help you protect all that matters to you, some of our distributors and/or agents are now equipped to offer and manage both life and general insurance products.We are also continually expanding our scope to ensure that all our branches will soon be able to respond to the life and non-life needs of our customers.I only have one policy under AXA Philippines and/or CPAIC. Given AXA’s planned composite license, how can I expand and increase my policies?  For example, I only have life insurance but given the new developments in AXA, I would like to have home security as well. How can AXA help me?We would love to hear from you.  First, if you already have an existing policy and want to diversify or expand it, contact your insurance agent as he or she is your designated account manager who is tasked to take care of your requirement, and will be able to discuss with you all our other insurance offers, to ensure you are able to protect all that matters to you. You may also browse the ‘Products’ tab of this website to find details on our insurance products, as well as buy some of them directly from our website with no need for agent assistance.You can also reach us through our customer service hotline (02) 8 5815-292  or email customer.service@axa.com.ph and through our Emma by AXA PH app. Download and register to the Emma by AXA PH app now so you can view your policies anytime, pay online, get free 24/7 access to Rescue Line, and more!Will the AXA Philippines and/or CPAIC branches continue to service us?  What changes can we expect from them?Your neighborly and familiar AXA branches will still remain near you to answer your queries and respond to your needs. What has changed and which you can see are improvements to give you better service. Our qualified, competent branch personnel, professional insurance agents, and branch managers are always ready to assist you. Transacting all these life and non-life products and services are quicker and efficient. In light of this merger, our CPAIC branches are being transformed into and will be AXA Branches, servicing both life and non-life insurance customers under one roof.I am a CPAIC customer. Does this mean that the next time I pay my premium, the original receipt (OR) I will receive will be from AXA already?Yes, the OR you will receive will be from AXA from hereon. However, please note that due to the transition as necessitated by this merger, there might be a two-week delay in the issuance of your OR. Please bear with us as we work on getting this delay resolved as soon as possible.Will there be a change in my agent or distributor?Your agent or distributor does not have to change due to this merger.Are there other faster ways by which we can monitor the status of our policies?At present, customers can view their life insurance policies on their Emma by AXA account, accessible via the app or website. Future improvements on the customer portal and mobile app include providing customer access to their non-life insurance policies.I might have a difficult time visiting an AXA Branch to conduct my transactions or keep up with my payments. How can I make sure that this process is not disrupted and that my transactions are ongoing and protected?AXA has leveraged on the power of the digital space to give you accessibility and updated information to your insurance policies. Through our app, Emma by AXA PH, you can - through a digital device like a smart phone - easily check the following: current account value, due payment dates, and other payment information.  You can also pay online from the comfort of your home or office. Emma by AXA PH also enables you to contact your financial partner or insurance agent should the need arise.If I have questions about my policy, who do I contact? How will general insurance/non-life insurance customers reach customer service?Both life and non-life insurance customers will only need to remember one customer care hotline: (02) 8 5815-292, one email address: customer.service@axa.com.ph and one website: www.axa.com.phSources:1Insurance Commission Performance of Non-Life Insurance Companies as of 2021

Practicing Daily Gratitude To Improve Your Well-Being

Our day-to-day activities may get more stressful and hectic as the holidays approach. The pressures of Christmas, especially in the Philippines, along with the hustle and bustle that comes with it, can be overwhelming. Mothers and wives, in particular, may become stressed over family and gift-giving obligations.As part of protecting your well-being, it is important to prioritize your mental health during these busy times. One way of doing this is by practicing daily gratitude.An attitude of gratitude Gratitude stems from being able to attribute something good that happened to you to someone else, whether an individual or an impersonal source such as nature2. Practicing daily gratitude involves being able to contemplate who and what you are thankful for3. Making it a habit to note what you’re thankful for everyday, making sure to pay it forward by letting someone know what you’re thankful for, and contemplating on what it means to accept this kindness can go a long way3.Benefits of saying thanks Multiple studies have linked gratitude to well-being by testing the impact of the positive psychological effects that practicing daily gratitude can have on a person1. Improved physical and emotional health The impact of giving and receiving gratitude can be linked to improving interpersonal relationships we have, which can help improve the mental and physical state of those involved1. Practicing daily gratitude can lower your risk of depression, anxiety, substance dependency and conditions such as eating disorders3. Paying it forward Saying thank you and showing gratitude can have a ripple effect, motivating the recipient to show the same grace they were given3. Simple things such as saying thank you to the person who delivered your groceries can have a huge effect on their day.Appreciating the little things The practice of gratitude can help improve the perspectives from which we view our daily lives3. Being able to focus on how something or someone has improved your life, and going out of your way to express gratitude can bring a fresh outlook to your life. This helps you appreciate your greater purpose in life, thereby boosting your self-esteem and self-acceptance.Gratitude is something often overlooked. But as we approach the holidays where gift-giving is the norm, learning how to express gratitude and saying thanks beyond material means can greatly improve our relationships. Start your own practice of gratitude now.Health care starts with self-care.

How to Be There for Someone with Cancer

Finding out that someone in your family or a friend you are close to has cancer can be very distressing and upsetting. It’s not easy to deal with the diagnosis, and oftentimes we are left wondering what we can do to help. In the Philippines, cancer was one of the top three causes of death  last year.Fear, anxiety, and stress can get in the way of providing your sick loved one the support they need. However, there is much you can do to support them. What kind of help does a sick individual need? How can you deliver a supportive message for a cancer patient? Read on to learn more.How to show support Cancer can affect your family or friend in many devastating ways. Chronic illness can give the patient guilt, a feeling of loss of control, anger, and sadness–all the while suffering mood disturbances, extreme changes in their bodies, and deep-seated fears. Some patients may even find it difficult to accept support during these trying times. Remember that this is normal and can be their way of asserting what little independence they can have at this time. Don’t just talk–listen You may feel like you don’t know what to say to a friend with cancer. However, most of the time, it’s not what you say but rather how you listen2. Make yourself available to listen to what they have to say–sometimes, more than having the right words to say, it’s all about hearing them out.Actions speak louder than words Nothing is too small or insignificant when it comes to sending a message of love and support to a cancer patient3. Small, practical actions such as preparing thoughtful care packages and offering to run errands for them can go a long way when it comes to providing emotional support for cancer patients.Caring for the caregivers Many times, a cancer patient is with a caregiver, usually an immediate family member or friend who is not paid to provide them care2. This demanding and time-consuming role can be stressful and tiring. Providing support for their caregivers can also be a huge way to support someone with cancer. Coping with a chronic illness is a huge burden, not only to the patient, but to those around them. Your love and support, no matter how insignificant it seems to you, can go a long way in making sure others can go through this physically, emotionally, and mentally demanding illness. Remember to reach out and show your love if you are able to.AXA’s wide range of health and protection products can cover you against critical illnesses such as cancer, so you are empowered to keep protecting what matters most.

Catch It Early: Detecting Symptoms of Breast Cancer

Breast Cancer is one of the most prevalent cancer here in the Philippines based on DOH statistics, and it is important to be able to know how best to prevent it. Part of this is learning how to detect breast cancer early on.Breast cancer in the PhilippinesContrary to popular belief, men can also get breast cancer, but it is most common in women. In fact, it is the leading killer of women aged between 35 and 54, with almost 500,000 women dying from it every year.1 Treatment ranges from chemotherapy, which is the use of special medicines, in pills or injected into veins, to shrink or kill the cancer cells, to mastectomy, or the surgical removal of breast tissue. However, it is always better to detect early symptoms of breast cancer rather than deal with it when they are already there. The earlier breast cancer is discovered, the greater the chance for successful treatment. On the other hand, there is a lower chance of survival if cancer care is delayed or inaccessible, along with possible complications and higher costs of treatment and care.So how can one detect breast cancer early? Learn your family historyThe first step is to take note of any family history of cancer. If you have a first-degree relative either on your mother or father’s side who had breast or ovarian cancer, you have a higher chance of getting it.Get checked regularly Breast cancer awareness month in the Philippines promotes having regular breast examinations. You can do this on your own, as you should be familiar with how your breasts usually look and feel. Breast self-examinations are how you can keep track of how your breasts look or feel. If you feel any bumps or lumps that weren’t there before, or any concerning discolorations or skin changes, it is better to go to your primary care doctor or gynecologist to double-check.Mammograms are probably the most commonly known way of helping detect breast cancer. It is a low-dose x-ray done on your breasts. Regular mammograms can help find breast cancer at its early stages when treatment is most likely to be successful.A breast ultrasound is another way to detect breast cancer. It is an imaging test that uses sound waves to look at the inside of your breasts. A wand-like device called a transducer is moved over your skin, sending out sound waves that bounce off your breast tissue, making an image of your breasts. It doesn’t use radiation or dye.Whichever method you choose, know that it is best to determine if you have early symptoms of breast cancer, and that it is never too late to get help.AXA’s wide range of health and protection products can cover you against critical illnesses such as cancer, so you are empowered to keep protecting what matters most.

How Honda SENSING and AXA make your everyday ride safer

Today's vehicles are safer and more enjoyable to drive, thanks to innovations like the invention of the safety glass, three-point seatbelt, airbag, automatic emergency braking, and parking sensors. Yet, driving can still be dangerous, especially in crowded cities. In Metro Manila, for example, the Metro Manila Accident Reporting and Analysis System recorded 65,032 accidents with 337 deaths in one year. That’s a staggering 178 accidents happening daily.That's why companies like Honda and AXA constantly develop products and features that keep people and roads much safer. If you're in the market for a new car that puts safety first, you'll be in for a treat with what Honda and AXA have in store for you.Honda SENSING: an evolution in car safetyHonda has long been committed to its vision of "Safety for Everyone" where roads are safe for drivers, passengers, and pedestrians alike.As early as 2015, Honda Cars Philippines, Inc. signaled a new era of car safety when it debuted the Honda Legend with Honda SENSING technology, followed by the 3rd generation Honda Pilot the year after.Honda SENSING is the car manufacturer's driver-assistive system currently available in the 11th generation All-New Civic, CR-V, Accord, and the new Civic Type R. It makes driving safer and more comfortable with its cameras and sensors that detect vehicles, pedestrians, and obstacles on the road.What to expect from your Honda SENSING-equipped vehicleGet into one of Honda's SENSING-equipped vehicles and you might not notice anything out of the ordinary. After all, the comfort, style, and spaciousness you expect from a Honda remain. The magic happens when you actually drive it.Imagine driving on a busy road filled with vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians. Your Honda SENSING-equipped vehicle will keep you and everyone around you safe with its Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS). It provides visual and audio warnings when it detects a potential collision with a car or pedestrian. If there's an increased risk of collision, CMBS will apply a mild brake or a stronger one to avoid impact or limit damage. CMBS also constantly detects the size, location, and speed of an oncoming object such as a pedestrian or cyclist, so it can stop or slow down the car as needed.  Going on a road trip? Honda SENSING makes traveling extra safe. Its Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low-Speed Follow (LSF) handles your car's braking and acceleration while you're driving. It checks your distance from the car ahead of you and its speed, and then slows down or speeds up as necessary.That's not all. Honda SENSING's Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS), Road Departure Mitigation System with Lane Departure Warning (RDM with LDW), and Auto High-Beam (AHB) all put you on the right track throughout your journey, day or night. Of course, you can't forget your car's most important safety feature: you. That's why it's important to always keep your eyes on the road and your hands on the wheel. Long drives can be exhausting too, so make sure you take regular breaks or have someone else take the wheel.Double your protection with AXA Car InsuranceWant extra peace of mind when you're on the road?

At the end of the day, we can only do so much so it's important that we make time for 'me time' for us to cope and feel re-energized as there will always be more to do.Meditation is an easy and inexpensive way to deal with work-related stress. It doesn’t require any special equipment (except maybe your smartphone and a pair of headphones) and you can do it anywhere, even at work. Mindfulness Meditation at workStudies have shown that when given some time for mindfulness at work, employees have reported a significant improvement in their psychological well-being, reduced job strain, and even reduced their blood pressure during the workday.1 What are the benefits of meditation? Meditation can give you a sense of calm, and bring your mind peace and balance that benefits your emotional well-being and overall health. With even just a few minutes of meditation each day, it can help you clear away the information overload that builds up every day, especially at work. Emotional benefits of meditation also include:●     Gaining a new perspective on stressful situations●     Building skills to manage your stress●     An increase in self-awareness●     A chance to focus on the present●     Less negative emotions●     An increase in patience and tolerance●     An increase in imagination and creativity2 There are several types of meditation out there, but for our purposes, we’ll focus on mindfulness meditation. It is a meditation based on being mindful or practicing an increased awareness and acceptance of being and living in the present moment.3 It’s made up of two parts: attention and acceptance.Attention is about paying attention to your experiences so you can focus on what’s happening in the present moment. This means paying attention to your breathing, your thoughts, the physical sensations in your body, and the feelings you are experiencing. In acceptance, you have to observe your feelings and sensations without judgment, with the aim of not reacting or responding to them, but to just take note, and let go.4  Here are some tips on how to practice mindfulness meditation at work.●     Look for a quiet setting and get comfortable. Meditating may be easier if you’re in a quiet spot with few distractions. If your workplace doesn’t have a quiet room or place for you to do that, you can use your smartphone and headphones to listen to relaxing, meditative music that you can look for online. Make sure that you’re seated in a comfortable position without slouching.●     Breathe deeply and slowly, taking care to focus all your attention on your breathing. Concentrate on feeling and listening to yourself as you inhale through your nose and exhale through your mouth. If your attention starts to wander, gently return them to focus on your breathing.●     Be patient with yourself. Don’t judge yourself if you’re unable to clear your mind right away. Meditation takes practice. And it’s common for your mind to wander during meditation.There are other ways to meditate. You might meditate better while you’re exercising, or even when walking to wherever you want to go next. Experiment, and you’ll find out what types of meditation work best to boost your wellbeing.Health care starts with self-care.

Eating Healthy For Busy Super Moms

Work just doesn’t end when you’re a #SuperMom. That’s why eating healthy can be tough. Between work deadlines and raising kids, when can you even think of squeezing in that healthy lunch? There’s just simply not enough hours in the day. However, having a healthy diet is essential to your wellbeing. Read on for some tips for healthy eating for busy people. Eating for better health It may be tempting to resort to junk food or ordering out, but these would not be your healthiest option. Consuming junk food and processed food contributes to obesity, and other long-term diseases like heart problems, and cancer1. Diabetes is also a likely result of an unhealthy diet, with the Global Nutrition Report noting that in the Philippines, diabetes is estimated to affect 7.9% of adult men, and 7.8% of adult women2. A healthy diet is essential to reducing the risk of these conditions. Here are some tips for healthy eating for busy people. Healthy eating for busy peopleEat healthier snacks You can start by choosing healthier snack options 3 4 5 6. Instead of filling your shopping cart with junk food and anything you find on the shelf, go for granola and protein bars. You can also try preparing healthier fruit and vegetable snacks instead of the processed ones. Try easy-to-prepare meals Cooking can be hard on a busy schedule 4 5 6, but there’s no shame in opting for easier or faster recipes! You can easily find recipes online for some easy-to-prepare meals that can save you time.  You can dedicate some time over the weekend to cook meals for the whole week, or prep food the night before.  Try chopping your veggies in one big batch so you can assemble batch for salads over the next few days. You can also try preparing overnight oats for a healthy breakfast the next morning. And when you’re really short on time, try cooking up some pasta and mixing it with bottled pasta sauce. If you’re up for it, you can try adding some healthy Filipino vegetable dishes to your daily diet, like ginataang gulay, vegetable okoy, or ginisang monggo. Not only is cooking at home more cost-effective, it’s healthier too! Healthier restaurant or takeout options Sometimes even with all the meal prepping and food planning, you’re left with no other choice but to eat out. This can especially be true if your work requires you to travel a lot or attend meetings over lunch and dinner. For situations like these, try to go for the healthiest options on the menu. Choose dishes that have more vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein 4 5. Also try to skip on the sauce while you’re at it since sauces and dips can tend to pack in some unnecessary carbs 7.  AXA’s range of health and protection products are here to support your wellbeing so you are empowered to keep protecting what matters most.
