To improve inclusive education, Pru Life UK provides digital resources to Davao City's Madaris teachers

“Pru Life UK has always been supportive of education and we recognise its role in realising our sustainability target of building resilient communities. Through the Adopt-a-Madrasah programme, we aim to provide practical support to help madaris’ students and teachers access better learning opportunities.” ~Paul Mandal, Pru Life UK's Chief Legal and Sustainability Officer

In partnership with its advocacy partners, Humble Sustainability and LiteHaus International, Pru Life UK, the first life insurer in the Philippines to obtain a Takaful license, is demonstrating its dedication to inclusive education and sustainable community development by donating digital learning tools to three community madaris, or Islamic schools, in Bangkal, Davao City.

Laptops, projectors, and white screens were distributed to students, instructors, school administrators, and local community leaders from Darul Khair Islamic Center, Maahad Talomo Al-Islamie, and Al Madrasah Al-Arabia Wal-Islamiyah during a turnover event at Ummoul Khair Maahad.

This contribution supports Pru Life UK's community investment initiatives in Mindanao through its Adopt-a-Madrasah program, which was introduced in Davao in 2024.  The Madaris' educational demands are met by the program.

Pru Life UK's engagement with circular economy start-up Humble Sustainability, which sold the insurer's leftover IT equipment—including outdated devices donated by staff members—through its network, helped to partially pay the donation.  The donated equipment, which included remanufactured PCs, was sourced via LiteHaus International, an NGO and advocate for digital fairness.

Since the program's inception, more than 450 teachers and pupils have benefited from the distribution of school supplies, hygiene kits, and an innovative session led by agent volunteers and Pru Life UK staff.  These initiatives are carried out in collaboration with government partners and leaders of the local Muslim community.  Pru Life UK underlines its goal to be a dependable partner and guardian for generations, improving lives via sustainable development, education, and empowerment through Adopt-a-Madrasah.

Trailblazing Women taking the Lead and Breaking Traditional Roles

“Growing up, I didn’t think gender was a barrier. But when I entered sales, I realized how often women were left out of the conversations that matter. There’s a bias that once women become mothers, they’re no longer as committed to their roles. That’s simply not true. Mondelēz International culture recognizes that each person brings something unique. Flexible work, caregiver benefits, and equal leave policies create an environment where people—especially women—don’t have to choose between family and career. That’s what makes the difference. Find your voice. You deserve to be in the room as much as anyone else. And when you’re in that room, don’t forget to help others walk through the door, too.” ~Aleli Arcilla, Managing Director 
SHE LEADS THE RIGHT WAY. (from L to R) Mondelēz International’s Plant Director Tanya Lim, Managing Director Aleli Arcilla, and General Counsel Mae Corona guide the organization's journey towards its mission to empower people to snack right.


In the Philippines, Mondelēz International is dedicated to fostering an environment where inclusivity is ingrained in daily operations.  This dedication is evident in the leaders as well as in the policies.

Women are now in charge of positions that have historically been held by men throughout the company.  Aleli Arcilla, the organization's first female country leader, serves as managing director. As General Counsel, Attorney Mae Corona offers strategic counsel to the entire organization. Additionally, Tanya Lim, the company's first female Plant Lead, is in charge of manufacturing.  Their participation in these roles isn't merely symbolic; rather, it's the outcome of a climate at work where leaders are empowered by their abilities rather than their gender.


TRAILBLAZER. Managing Director Aleli Arcilla leads the organization as the first female managing director of Mondelēz International in the Philippines.


The dedication of Mondelēz International to inclusivity is ingrained in its systems and structures.  With hybrid arrangements and personal leaves that encourage balance and teamwork, workplace flexibility is ingrained in the culture.  Beyond mere compliance, parental leave laws provide comprehensive benefits for caregivers and single parents, irrespective of birth method or family structure.

“For me, the work flexibility at Mondelēz International is priceless. The company has found a good balance between allowing employees to come to the office to meaningfully connect with colleagues and being able to work from home. Like everyone else, I rose from the ranks—starting as a Junior Associate in a law firm, then moving to an in-house role 14 years ago. Becoming the Head of Legal for a multination company had always been my target role, so I kept my eyes on the prize. Everything starts at home. Allowing my daughter to see me in a key position—while still growing and learning every day—matters most to me. Gender doesn’t matter as much as technical skills, emotional intelligence, and authenticity. That’s what leadership is built on.~Attorney Mae Corona, General Counsel

Corona’s journey to leadership was defined by clarity of purpose.

Lim’s path was similarly driven by curiosity and commitment. But early on, being heard was a challenge.


Tanya Lim, Plant Lead

“I’ve always had an interest in how things work. Engineering was a natural choice, and from there it became a career. In my earlier days, the issue was getting people to listen. Over time, I proved my capability to lead. The plant runs 24 hours a day and issues don’t follow schedule. Working remotely isn’t an option for my specific role. Mondelēz International has given me equal opportunity and fair treatment, and I’m very grateful for that. I want to keep growing talent and helping others unlock their potential. I also see myself as proof that women can lead in any field they choose. Learn as much as you can and value every experience. Tap into your perseverance and grit—because in this field, problems can be solved, and skills can be learned. What sets you apart is your mindset. ~Tanya Lim, Plant Lead

More recently, she faced a different kind of balancing act—one shared by many working mothers. What helped, Lim says, is a culture that genuinely values inclusion.

Gender is just one aspect of this inclusive culture. Frameworks that uphold safety, respect, and equity support workers with a diverse range of identities and orientations. The organization makes sure that leadership development is inclusive by design, from succession planning to mentorship programs.


EYE ON THE PRIZEAtty. Mae Corona had the ultimate career ambition of one day becoming a legal head of a global organization which she has now realized as the General Counsel of Mondelēz International.


And for the next generation of women in the workplace, these leaders aim to model what’s possible.

Their advice to young women: Stay curious, stay grounded, and stay resilient.

In the Philippines, Mondelēz International keeps creating a workplace where everyone, regardless of gender or background, can achieve by creating systems that represent the actual demands of its workers.

Send Money Abroad with PalawanPay and Palawan Express Pera Padala — Affordable, Fast, and Hassle-Free

“At PGC, we’re continuously innovating to meet the real needs of our fellow Filipinos. With the launch of Pera Padala Abroad, we’re proud to be one of the first e-wallets in the country to offer outbound remittance, a step forward in making financial services more inclusive. Kahit saang panig ng mundo na may Pinoy, maaari nang makatanggap ng Pera Padala mula sa Pinas (No matter where in the world Filipinos are, they can easily receive money sent from the Philippines).” ~Karlo M. Castro, President and CEO of PGC

Send Money Abroad with PalawanPay and Palawan Express Pera Padala — Affordable, Fast, and Hassle-Free!


Sending money is a lifeline for many Filipinos, and it's more than simply a transaction.  It provides for loved ones, carries out obligations, and maintains close links beyond national boundaries.  Dependable overseas remittance is becoming more and more necessary, whether for everyday living expenses, business needs, medical bills, or tuition.  Sending money from the Philippines to other nations has always been difficult, even if receiving money from outside is a routine activity.  Whether it's a small company owner paying an overseas supplier, a family aiding an OFW with urgent bills, or a student abroad who needs support from home, high fees, complicated rules, and restricted access frequently come in the way.

The Palawan Group of Companies (PGC), the reputable company behind the rapidly expanding e-wallet PalawanPay and the multiple-awarded Palawan Express Pera Padala (PEPP), has launched Pera Padala Abroad in recognition of these common challenges.  One of the first e-wallets in the Philippines to provide outbound international remittance, PalawanPay enables customers to send money abroad from their phones at any time, from any location. This new service is a significant milestone.  No lengthy lineups.  No intricate forms.  All it takes is a few taps to help loved ones, no matter where they are in the world.


Send Money Abroad—Anytime, Anywhere

Sending money overseas is as simple as sending it domestically with Pera Padala Abroad.  Users can send money abroad straight from their phones by using the PalawanPay app.  The service is accessible whether you're in a metropolis or a province thanks to its availability at more than 3,500 approved PEPP locations around the country for those who prefer in-person transactions.

PalawanPay eliminates the need for time-consuming banking procedures and paperwork.  You can send as soon as your PalawanPay account has been validated.  In keeping with Palawan's brand promise, which is "mura, mabilis, at walang kuskos balungos" (cheap, quick, and hassle-free), PGC has been providing the same kind of service for 40 years.


Send to Over 190 Countries with Affordable Rates Starting at Just ₱300

Pera Padala Abroad offers rates as little as ₱300, so you can choose between sending to a bank account, an e-wallet, or cash pick-up.  Your recipient receives greater value when exchange rates are competitive.  Money transferred in pesos offers convenience and flexibility since it can be kept in the recipient's preferred currency or translated into the local currency of the destination nation.

Real-time transaction processing is done.  The money is transferred right away after you get your reference number, providing comfort to both the sender and the recipient.  Ria, a reliable international remittance network with more than 500,000 pick-up locations across 190 countries, powers this smooth international service.


Tatak Palawan, Walang Kuskos Balungos — Just Safe and Reliable Pera Padala

“PalawanPay is proudly gawang Pilipino, para sa Pilipino (Made by Filipinos, for Filipinos). Now, we can further say, para sa Pilipino sa iba’t ibang panig ng mundo (For Filipinos in all corners of the world). This is consistent with the Palawan Group’s thrust of championing financial inclusion.” ~Third Librea, CEO of PalawanPay

PGC has been one of the most reputable names in Philippine financial services for forty years, always offering every Filipino accessible, dependable, and reasonably priced solutions.  By launching Pera Padala Abroad, PGC is reaching a wider audience and bringing even more affordability and convenience to financial services both in the Philippines and abroad.

Now, sending money abroad is just as easy as sending it across town. Download the PalawanPay app today, or visit your nearest PEPP branch to start sending abroad.
