In 2007, Manulife Philippines marked 100 years in the Philippines. Among the oldest insurance firms in the country, Manulife Philippines received its license to operate in Manila in 1907, 20 years after the company was first established in Toronto, Canada in 1887 by Sir John A. Macdonald, who concurrently held the post of Prime Minister of Canada.

The first foreign company to list in the Philippine Stock Exchange, Manulife is among the top five life insurance companies in the country today. A dedication to client service has paved the way for the Company's growth and increased financial strength.
