Life underwriters to hold convention at Waterfront
THE Life Underwriters Association of the Philippines or Luap signed a contract Tuesday with Waterfront Cebu City Hotel (WCCH), at the Luap’s office in Banawa, Cebu City.
Under the contract, Waterfront will sponsor the venue for the 17th Annual Luap Convention, which will be held on May 12 at the Waterfront Cebu City Hotel.
Luap president Amor Martinez Tomakin, together with WCCH sales and marketing officer Erlyn Alix and organizer Frances Martinez, signed the contract in the presence of the members of the board of Luap.
The Luap holds the convention annually. It seeks to promote the essence of insurance, to develop the association and its members, to plan for their projects and programs and to improve the risk management sales of the life underwriters.
The association, which was formally organized in February 1984, has grown over the years.
It now offers Life Underwriter Training Council courses for its members, providing life underwriters with continuing professional education like sales clinic skills and knowledge, and a forum for skills management training.
Moreover, Luap has outreach programs for the street children, disabled and the less fortunate in the community. It is also currently filing proposals for a cooperative.
Tomakin said anyone could be a member of the association as long as he was licensed by the government.
“Members of Luap are indeed professionals and licensed agents so it is better to get (insurance) policies from them. There is great advantage when you entrust your future to the full-time members,” Tomakin added.
The speakers for the convention this Monday will come from national and international agencies particularly from the United States, Europe, New Zealand and Southeast Asia. The executive president of Philam Life, executive president of Axa Life, and the president of Insular Life are some of the speakers. Kristine Ruth Hamak/UP Mass Comm intern
