A legacy of living well with Asset Master




Imparting the legacy of a life well lived is almost every person’s aspiration. With this in mind, AXA Philippines, one of the country’s top insurance companies, organized recently a panel discussion to introduce its latest product and inspire its Filipino clients to think about creating a legacy for the future, free from financial worries. 


 Asset Master is designed as a single-pay, investment-linked insurance plan that allows a person to build a diversified investment portfolio of local and global investments — a solid foundation on which to build a financial legacy. 


 “Asset Master is your gateway to truly diverse global investments. We want you to leave a lasting legacy for your loved ones so they can continue to live well after you’re gone,” says Rahul Hora, AXA Philippines president and chief executive officer. 


 True to the affair’s theme, guest speakers were invited to talk about the importance of leaving a lasting legacy. Entrepreneur Nico Moreno of homegrown watch brand Ibarra Watches, third-generation jewelry designer Janina Dizon, and renowned artist and glass sculptor Ramon Orlina — each highly successful in his/her field — shared their insights and personal experiences during the panel discussion. 


 A physicist by training, long-time watch aficionado Moreno thought of creating the first Filipino watch brand. “The scientist in me fell in love with the art of watchmaking,” Moreno says. “And, being a staunch nationalist and an admirer of Dr. Jose Rizal, I thought of the brand Ibarra (the main protagonist in one of Rizal’s famous novels, Noli Me Tangere).” 


Dizon comes from a family of well-known jewellers and designers. Jewelry making is in her DNA. “It runs in my blood. My grandmother was a jeweller, a trade she passed on to my mother so I’m the third generation now,” says Dizon. “My mom would let me sit next to her in her shop, let me interact with her clients. I would also sort stones and count diamonds.”

Orlina is a licensed architect and practiced architecture before moving on to art. “When there was a decline in my architectural practice in the ’70s, I began to pursue art, which had always interested me. I started with painting on glass because modern architecture is steel and glass,” he says. 


For these accomplished individuals, living well means being happy with what you do, having peace of mind, and enjoying a fulfilling family life.


Moreno says, “A happy worker enjoys what he’s doing,” while Dizon thinks, “Living well is having the luxury of time as well as being secure in whatever the future will bring.” For his part, Orlina says, "I’m pleased to have a happy married life, a wife who has been supportive, and kids who excel in their fields.”



To ensure that their respective legacies are preserved for the future, Moreno has a 10-year plan for his business, while Dizon feels it is vital for her children to carry on her mother’s legacy, especially now that the firm has marked its 40th anniversary. Orlina, on the other hand, opened a museum in Tagaytay City to showcase his works and those of other sculptors.
