Shortly, we expanded to general life insurance, investment-linked financial products, health care, risk consulting, and BPO services. Our customers´ reach is nationwide, with servicing offices in Tacloban City and Makati City. Our approach and philosophy are always built around our mission state- ments. Our mission is founded on addressing four fundamental areas: ideal business relationships with clients, partnering with employees, organizational efficiency, and superior returns to shareholders. And we adopt a top-down approach to communicating our mission and corpo- rate values which are key to our organizational success. In addition, to ensure our mission is fulfilled we take great pride in selecting both employees and clients whose ethics and working aspira- tions fit with our own. We have methodologies in place to validate this critical matching process. If we found that the prospective party fits, then we proceed with developing a mutually beneficial employment or business relationship. Currently our finance products and services are tied with investment consulting and tax advisory. With the inflow of foreign investments coming into the Philippines, international tax consulting, transfer pricing studies, incorporation and investment consulting services have become our niche market. Not only do we expect such services to continue to receive high demand, but also anticipate superior contribution margin as we look towards the future.
