In
1972, the AFP Mutual Benefit Association, Incorporated (AFPMBAI), under the administration
of an interim committee, created by the then Chief of Staff General Romeo Espino
embarked on the expansion of its business concerns and benefit programs for its
members. Three major divisions were created among which was its Non-Life Division.
However, insofar as non-life insurance operation requires a special license, presidential
intervention was sought which subsequently led to the issuance of Letter of Instruction
No. 596 on September 9, 1977. This gave AFPMBAI the authority to engage in non-life
business.
Pursuant to LOI 596, the
Insurance Commission issued Certificate of Authority No. 144-0 on October 25,
1977. Also on this date, the first policy covering the structures and facilities
of the AFP against fire was written.
In 1978, the Insurance Commission
directed the AFPMBAI to separate its non-life and life insurance operations for
better supervision and financial control. On March 22, 1979, its non-life division
was incorporated and took on the name AFPMBAI General Insurance Corporation. AFPMBAI
put in the required capitalization of P4.5M. BGen Jesus T. Dizon became the Company's
first President.
To give AFPMBAI GIC a distinct
identity from AFPMBAI, the company's name was shortened to AFP General Insurance
Corporation or AFPGIC. The SEC approved this change of name on July 8, 1986.
To date, the AFPGIC, more
popularly known as in the industry as AFPGEN, caters to non-life insurance requirements
of the military and police institutions, their regular, active members and their
dependents and the AFP Financial Institutions. It offers a diverse number of non-life
insurance services such as Fire Insurance, Motor Car Insurance, Bonds, Engineering
Insurance, Marine Insurance, Aviation Insurance, Personal Accident Insurance,
Travel Insurance, Comprehensive General Liability Insurance, Firearms Liability
Insurance and Golfer's Insurance.
