Allianz PNB Life recently collaborated with award-winning social enterprise Reach52 to launch a new corporate social responsibility project called Allianz Kaagapay, which aims to promote the importance of inclusivity in insurance in the country, especially in the underserved rural communities.
Alexander Grenz, President & CEO, Allianz PNB Life
Alexander Grenz, Allianz PNB Life President and CEO said, “Most of those who do not have insurance are from the most vulnerable areas of the country. Through our partnership with Reach52, we aim to provide these communities the protection they need during these challenging times.”
Reach52 was founded in 2016 and has been providing screening, health worker training, affordable medicines, insurance, diagnostics and consumer health products in rural regions that existing services don’t reach. They achieved this through establishing health systems and services, powered by mobile apps and tech platforms, a community-based workforce, and partnerships with the public and private sector.
Additionally, Reach52 will be providing PhP25,000 worth of life insurance through Allianz Kaagapay, which includes COVID-19 coverage to its members for every purchase of an Allianz Well! insurance product from August 1 to December 20, 2020. The first beneficiaries of the insurance package are the members from Pototan and Cuartero, Iloilo.

“Our members are essential in our goal of extending primary care to the 52% of the world’s population who still lack access to essential health services. They are our access managers, the ones who help us fill the gap in the healthcare system in remote rural communities. We thank Allianz PNB Life for providing this support to our members,” said Edward Booty, Founder and CEO of Reach52.
Allianz PNB Life’s Allianz Well! is a health insurance product that has an annual plan limit of up to PhP100 million. It covers COVID19 hospitalization and ICU expenses up to the plan limit to support PhilHealth and HMO coverages. Other coverage also includes access to expert medical advice, 24/7 tele-consultation, health screening, dental services, physical activity programs, and nutrition counseling.
“Allianz continue to provide clients with insurance products that cater to the full needs of our customers across the various stages of their lives. In this crucial and uncertain times, we want our customers to have peace of mind knowing that Allianz cares for them and we are here to keep our promise that they can rely on us when things go wrong,” said Grenz.
Prior to Allianz Kaagapay, Allianz PNB Life launched Project Sanlahi, another project aimed at inclusivity, which through the sport of obstacle course racing and financial literacy, seeks to empower indigenous youths in Pampanga.
