PLARIDEL History:

More than half century ago, a group of patriotic and prominent Filipino businessmen believed that the then-fledgling insurance industry would one day be an important pillar of the country's economy. However, even then, the industry was dominated by foreign-owned or foreign-controlled insurance companies. Propelled by their desire to make a truly Filipino insurance company a major force in the industry, the PLARIDEL SURETY & INSURANCE COMPANY was formed in 1945.

The company's name, PLARIDEL, was borrowed from one of the most eminent and illustrious heroes of our history. PLARIDEL, was the nom de guerre of MARCELO H. DEL PILAR, a great Filipino patriot who helped free our country from foreign tyranny.

The dream and vision of having a strong and truly Filipino insurance company, given life in 1945, is still alive today. Before the turn of the new millennium, the torch was passed on to new group of visionaries - who strongly believed that such a dream cannot be allowed to die, who clearly envisioned the actualization of that dream. This group of professionals and businessmen saw the time when a truly Filipino company will not only stand at the forefront of the Philippine insurance industry, but will also hold its head up high in Asia, and eventually, in the international community.
