Pag-IBIG Fund Chief Executive Officer Marilene C. Acosta capped the agency’s
three-gold haul by winning the Gold Stevie for Female Executive of the Year at
the Stevie Awards for Women in Business in New York City. This recognition
comes after Acosta was recognized last month as a Circle of Excellence Awardee,
Woman Leader of the Year, by the 2023 Asia CEO Awards.
The awards bring the number of local and international recognitions gained by
Pag-IBIG Fund for the year 2023 to ten. These wins span various categories
which include service, communications and leadership excellence.
Earlier this year, Pag-IBIG Fund’s service excellence was lauded in the
international stage as its mobile service branch, the Lingkod Pag-IBIG on Wheels,
won at the Association of Development Financing Institutions in Asia and the
Pacific (ADFIAP) Awards held in Kazakhstan, and the ASEAN Social Security
Association (ASSA) Awards held in Malaysia. The mobile branch’s vital role in
extending Pag-IBIG Fund benefits to all Filipino workers across all sectors, and in promoting financial inclusion and development, made it stand out in the Asia-
Pacific region. Pag-IBIG Fund also won a Silver Award for the Best Government PR Team at the ASEAN Public Relations Network (APRN) PR Excellence Awards in Vietnam.
At the heart of all these achievements is Pag-IBIG Fund’s guiding principle,
Tapat na Serbisyo, Mula sa Puso – a promise to provide honest and heartfelt
service to the Filipino worker. This year’s wins are not just awards but
affirmations of the agency’s enduring commitment to serve with integrity,
professionalism, and excellence.
