A team of dedicated professionals, who make sure that the brokerage process is operated like a well-oiled machine, runs EABIBI. Expertly managing the different tasks, which include obtaining clients, placing the insurance, collecting and remitting premiums, and settling any claims requires a lot of hard work and valuable experience. Since its inauguration in July 1999, EABIBI has gone a long way in building its reputation as a top-notch brokerage in the eyes of the insurance industry and of its clientele. The officers of the company are:

His involvement with Sedgwick propelled it to become among the top-producing firms in the Philippines, prompting a merger with All Asia Capital in 1997 to form All Asia Sedgwick Insurance Brokers Corp., of which he was president and CEO until June 2000.

During his stint in Sedgwick, Ed pioneered in establishing insurance programs for big industrial risks here in the Philippines. In 1983, he was instrumental in preparing the All Risks Insurance Programs of the NDC (National Development Corporation) Group of Companies, which include:

• National Steel Corporation
• Philippine Phosphate Fertilizer Corporation
• Philippine Associated Smelting & Refining Corporation
• Semirara Coal Corporation
• Refractories Corporation of the Philippines

• Philippine Airlines
• Benguet Mining Corporation
• Atlas Mining Corporation
• Paper Industries Corporation of the Philippines

Although it is his masterful knack for catering to his clients' ever changing needs and matching them with the best available insurance facilities that gives Ed his competitive edge, it is his ability in nurturing relationships and his trustworthiness that has really differentiated him from the rest. The unrelenting loyalty that his staff bestow on him demonstrates his natural penchant for leadership. These qualities and his savvy for business made it an easy choice for Ed to found EAB Insurance Brokers, Inc. and turn it into a force in the insurance industry today. Under his stewardship, EABIBI is continuing to grow and develop, receiving various accolades from the industry, recognizing its strength in production.

Nema is another valuable asset to EABIBI. She joined the firm in September 2004, adding another 30 years of priceless insurance experience to its resume. Her experience is so vast that she literally knows the ins and outs of the industry like the back of her hand.

She started her career in Malayan Insurance Co., Inc. in 1974, working her way up to an Assistant Manager position. She joined Ed in Sedgwick in 1986, becoming Vice President of All-Asia Sedgwick Insurance Brokers in 1997. Along the way, she has received both off and on the job training in the United Kingdom and in Singapore, through Sedgwick. Before joining EABIBI, Nema worked as an Insurance and Reinsurance Consultant for Marsh Philippines, Inc. (2000) and was an independent Insurance and Employee Benefit Consultant (2000-2004).

Nema's areas of specialty include Insurance Underwriting, Reinsurance Broking (Life and Non-Life), and Employee Benefits (i.e. Medical Insurance, HMO & International Travel Assistance). She also had extensive experience with Marine Hull and Aviation during her time with Malayan and Sedgwick. Incidentally, she is also a certified public accountant, having passed the CPA Board Examinations in 1976.

Nema's close ties in the insurance industry is another precious asset that EABIBI is fortunate to avail of. Intangible traits like these are a rarity and contribute greatly to our competitive advantage in servicing accounts and generating new business.

Ronnie is instrumental in the management of EABIBI as he is in charge of finance and administration. He makes sure that the firm is in compliance with all the regulations that the insurance industry is heavily laden with. This involves meeting with external auditors, the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR), Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Insurance Commission (IC), and other government agencies for the audit of the company. He also makes sure that all accounts are settled and all books are balanced. This is vital because an insurance facility cannot function without the proper collection and remittance of the premiums involved.

Ronnie is also a Certified Public Accountant, beginning his career with Carlos J. Valdes & Co., CPA's in 1991.

Like Nema, Ronnie also secured a position under Ed at Sedgwick in 1993, becoming Manager for Finance and Administration for All Asia Sedgwick in 1997. He joined EABIBI in April 2000, and has since been instrumental in establishing the company's stability in operation.

Angelo has been with EABIBI since inception. He mainly concentrates in generating new business, acquiring big accounts such as CM Pancho Construction, Inc., as well as a voluminous list of high net-worth, private individual accounts. He also plays a crucial role in terms of maintaining existing client relationships, something EABIBI takes precedence in. Despite being relatively new in the industry, Angelo has already built a reputation as an insurance broker of good standing. This, in turn, is helping EABIBI further establish its place as a reputable insurance intermediary.

Carlo is a fresh addition to EABIBI, joining the firm in December 2005. He has just recently returned from New York, where he worked for 5 years as an Equities and Options Broker for Continental Broker-Dealer Corp. He graduated with honors from the University of Nottingham in July 2000, receiving a BA in Industrial Economics. His work experience and education abroad is a welcome enhancement to the firm. Aside from generating new business, Carlo also works directly with Nema in servicing existing accounts.
