Sun Life Grepa and ASA Philippines partner to Empower Underserved Women through Financial Protection

Sun Life Grepa Financial, Inc. (Sun Life Grepa), one of the country’s major life insurance companies, and ASA Philippines Foundation, Inc. (ASA Philippines), a leading non-profit microfinance organization dedicated to uplifting underserved women and their families, have formally sealed their partnership through a ceremonial signing held at ASA Philippines Central Office last September 10, 2025.

The partnership aims to provide ASA Philippines’ more than 2 million women members, many of whom are mothers, with access to affordable life and family insurance solutions. Through the new Microinsurance Program that will be launched soon, Sun Life Grepa and ASA Philippines hope to empower women to not only secure their own futures but also ensure financial protection for their loved ones.

“With this collaboration, we are making life insurance more accessible to underserved women and their families. We believe that by protecting the mothers, we are also protecting entire households and communities,” Richard S. Lim, President of Sun Life Grepa.

ASA Philippines representatives likewise underscored the importance of financial empowerment in their mission. “This partnership with Sun Life Grepa enables us to give our Nanays the tools and confidence to build more secure futures for their families,” said Rapa C. Lopa, President and CEO of ASA Philippines.

The partnership is part of Sun Life Grepa’s ongoing mission to provide Filipinos with innovative and inclusive insurance solutions, while supporting organizations that champion community development and financial wellness.
