Etiqa Philippines, a regional leader in Takaful insurance, has officially opened its new headquarters at 107 Aguirre Building, Makati City—a move that signals more than a change of address. It’s a declaration of intent. In a year marked by recognition as one of the country’s pioneering Takaful operators, a change in leadership, and now this relocation, Etiqa is making it clear: it is ready to compete at the highest level of the insurance industry.
The LEED-certified headquarters reflects Etiqa’s forward-thinking strategy, alongside its commitment to sustainability and responsible, long-term growth. Expansive glass walls, open floor plans, and an atrium-style layout allow natural light and fresh air to circulate freely throughout the building. This not only reduces energy consumption but also promotes healthier, more uplifting work environments—an intentional design choice that underscores Etiqa’s values of transparency, well-being, and environmental stewardship.
Inside, industrial-chic architecture and soaring ceilings create an atmosphere of ambition and possibility. The central atrium, designed to encourage movement, interaction, and improved indoor air quality, mirrors Etiqa’s belief that open, breathable spaces spark collaboration and innovation. Natural lighting reduces reliance on artificial illumination, helping employees stay energized and focused.
Beyond sustainable design, the company has also invested in spaces that support a more balanced, people-centered culture. A full gym and recreation room offer employees accessible ways to decompress, stay active, and manage stress—benefits that translate into better productivity, stronger teamwork, and higher overall engagement. These amenities signal Etiqa’s commitment to being a progressive employer, one that understands that well-cared-for employees bring greater creativity, loyalty, and long-term value to the organization. Every detail—from the penthouse rooftop garden to the electric vehicle charging stations—promotes a modern, eco-conscious lifestyle and a workplace experience built for the future.
“Our new headquarters reflects our belief that people are at the heart of everything we do,” says Ms. Hazel Don, Human Capital Head at Etiqa Philippines. “Every space is designed to inspire collaboration, well-being, and creativity, ensuring our employees thrive as we grow together. We want everyone here to feel empowered and part of Etiqa’s exciting journey forward.”
Strategically located near major banks, lifestyle hubs like Greenbelt, and key transport routes, the HQ ensures convenience for both employees and clients. This accessibility reflects Etiqa’s customer-first mindset and readiness to respond quickly in a fast-moving market.
As a composite insurance license holder, Etiqa is uniquely positioned to expand across both life and non-life segments, with enormous growth potential. The company’s trajectory is set for acceleration, backed by its expanding presence and strong regional foundation in Takaful.
Anthony Lou Bernabe, Etiqa’s new President and CEO, captures the significance of this milestone: “Our new headquarters is more than a modern office—it’s a symbol of the culture we are building, the innovation we are driving, and the leadership position we are determined to claim. With our composite license, the opportunities ahead are vast. As a regional leader in Takaful, our mission is to make the world a better place by extending inclusive, ethical, and sustainable protection to more Filipinos.”
