“We have made insurance very simple. We are proud to be a Filipino company.  While we offer basic insurance products, we try to be relevant to the market we serve.

We want to continue being known as the company with a heart that can be relied upon. Our products are simple, accessible and important.” ~Geraldine Desiderio-Garcia, Country Bankers Insurance Group (CBIG) Senior Vice President and General Manager

Country Bankers Insurance Corporation (CBLIC) was established on March 28, 1965, founded by Mr. Jose E. Desiderio, Sr.,  as the President. They have made insurance very simple. While they offer basic insurance products, they try to be as relevant as possible to the market where they serve. Insurance helps families cope with life's challenges by ensuring dreams are fulfilled. Country Bankers is simply with a heart and a company that can be relied upon to deliver its commitment. The insurance needs started in rural areas, catering to small and medium business entrepreneurs, farmers, fishermen, and public school teachers - a market that had been untapped in the 60s.

Isa akong apo ng isang magsasaka sa Pangasinan, at ipinagmamalaki ko na ang lolo ko ay isang magsasaka. My grandfather is now 84 years old who had lived and worked all his life on the farm long before I was born. Whenever I visit him and some of our relatives I had this heavy feeling of them having a simple and contented life as if they don't worry anything at all. But I was wrong all along because one of their worries especially when they get old is life after not having the energy no more of working at the farm while buong buhay nila doon sila umasa sa masagana at magandang ani and most of all death, I witnessed how they find ways for a relatives burial because they didn't even had the chance to have their own bank accounts because getting one would cost them money just by accomplishing the requirements alone its like it became their less priorities in life. After being invited last year Country Bankers event I immediately had hope for them they're the ones who came into my mind I was like if I could get their right away and tell them about Country Bankers I would because it's exactly what they need and what they can reach and or afford. The first person I told about the good news is my tatay (grandfather) though he was hesitant already because of his age I also adviced my cousins and other relatives about it the only problem now is educating them about Country Bankers which I am looking forward that Country Bankers would have a program to visit provinces and inform and educate people about having one because it's for them and it's important for them to have one. HINDI PA HULI PARA MAGING INSURED SILA!

This legacy of accessible insurance to low-income Filipinos has been passed on to the Desiderio family third-generation members who are now running the company. At its helm is Geraldine Desiderio-Garcia, Senior Vice President and General Manager of CBIG.
