                    [Summary] => The Supreme Court and the Insurance Commission (IC) has joined forces in clamping down on delinquent non-life insurance companies issuing judicial bonds.


Judicial bonds are basically bail bonds issued for the temporary release of an accused. An insurance company will issue the bail bonds and thus guarantees that the accused would appear when summoned by the court.


The insurer, otherwise known in this case as the surety firm, assumes the risk of underwriting bonds for a premium. In the event that the accused fails to appear, the courts confiscate the bonds.

                    [Summary] => The Insurance Commission (IC) has extended to September the deadline for All Asia Life Assurance Corp. to fill its capital deficiency.


"It is the final extension. If they fail again, we have to enforce the law," said IC Commissioner Eduardo T. Malinis.


The original deadline was set for end June this year. But the insurer sought an extension saying it was waiting for the court to issue what they expect to be a favorable decision involving certain properties, which would be used to fill up its capital deficiency of P123.4 million.

That is the motivation why the Land Transportation Office (LTO) and the IC wants the new electronic system for issuance of COCs prior to vehicle registration implemented.


‘We have to implement it immediately!" exclaimed LTO chief Roberto Lastimoso. "The government is losing a lot of money with the continued delays."

                    [Summary] => The Insurance Commission (IC) has extended to September the deadline for All Asia Life Assurance Corp. to fill its capital deficiency.


"It is the final extension. If they fail again, we have to enforce the law," said IC Commissioner Eduardo T. Malinis.


The original deadline was set for end June this year. But the insurer sought an extension saying it was waiting for the court to issue what they expect to be a favorable decision involving certain properties, which would be used to fill up its capital deficiency of P123.4 million.

                    [Summary] => The Insurance Commission (IC) estimates that the national government lost up to P900 million in taxes with the proliferation of fake certificates of cover (COCs) last year.


That is the motivation why the Land Transportation Office (LTO) and the IC wants the new electronic system for issuance of COCs prior to vehicle registration implemented.


‘We have to implement it immediately!" exclaimed LTO chief Roberto Lastimoso. "The government is losing a lot of money with the continued delays."
