With over 45 years of industry experience, Mr. Delos Reyes’s journey is a testament to dedication and perseverance.

Stronghold Insurance’s robust growth is reflected in its milestones, such as securing the Reinsurance of the Property and Engineering Combined Risk and Catastrophe Excess of Loss Treaty for the Government Service Insurance System, valued at PHP 13 billion—the company’s largest single premium transaction. Its expansive network now includes over 150 offices nationwide and major multi-story facilities in Visayas and Mindanao, further enhancing customer access to insurance services.

Mr. Delos Reyes’s leadership philosophy prioritises client satisfaction and employee well-being. “Clients’ satisfaction is our ultimate strategy,” he emphasises. This client-centric approach, combined with a supportive organisational culture, has resulted in an exceptional employee retention rate of 92%, underscoring the company’s commitment to talent development and empowerment.

Beyond business success, Stronghold Insurance demonstrates a strong commitment to societal impact.
