Manulife Philippines, the local arm of leading international financial services provider Manulife, has strengthened its presence in the Negros Region and Central Luzon with the opening of two new branches in the cities of Bacolod and San Fernando, Pampanga. The expansion brings the company’s total network to 46 branches nationwide, reinforcing its commitment to bringing life, health, and financial solutions closer to customers across the country.

“Our new offices in Bacolod and San Fernando give our agency force a more conducive and collaborative space to grow, while bringing us closer to the customers and communities we are proud to serve,” Hora said. “At Manulife, we remain deeply committed to our ambition: to be the no. 1 choice for trusted financial advice for longevity, helping more Filipinos live better for longer. Every branch we open is a deliberate step toward that goal—making health and life protection and financial security more accessible to our customers across the country.”

The openings form part of Manulife Philippines’ broader network expansion strategy, with additional branches in Southern Luzon and Mindanao set to open later this year to bring health, life, and wealth solutions closer to more Filipino families.
