Arizona Immigration Law: Mexico Gets Involved in US Supreme Court Case
Richey, Warren, The Christian Science Monitor
The Arizona immigration law threatens Mexico-US relations, says a brief submitted on behalf of Mexico and 16 other countries ahead of Wednesday's oral argument at the Supreme Court.
Arizona's tough immigration enforcement law threatens to do more than make life unbearably difficult for illegal immigrants. It also threatens to sour US foreign relations with Mexico and other Latin American nations.
That's the message in a friend-of-the-court brief submitted in advance of Wednesday's oral argument at the US Supreme Court over Arizona's controversial law known as SB 1070.
"SB 1070 poses an imminent threat to Mexico-US bilateral relations," declares the brief submitted on behalf of Mexico and 16 other countries.
"Mexico cannot conduct effective negotiations with the US when the foreign policy decisions of the federal governments are undermined by individual states," the Mexico brief says.
The 45-page friend-of-the-court brief was submitted in support of the Obama administration, which is asking the high court to uphold a federal judge's decision in 2010 blocking most parts of the Arizona law before it could take effect.
The Mexico brief is interesting, in part, for the information it leaves out.
For example, the brief does not mention that there are an estimated 6.8 million Mexican nationals currently residing in the US without legal authorization. In addition, at least 6 million more Mexicans are legal permanent residents who have not become US citizens.
Last year, Mexicans in the US - both illegal and legal - sent $22.7 billion in family remittances home to Mexico. It is Mexico's second largest source of foreign revenue after tourism.
Among the 16 countries joining Mexico's brief are the Central American countries of El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras. After Mexico, they are the three largest contributors of undocumented immigrants currently in the US. According to federal estimates, there are 660,000 undocumented immigrants from El Salvador, 520,000 from Guatamala, and 380,000 from Honduras.
Those four countries account for 73 percent of all illegal immigrants currently in the US, according to federal estimates. (That is 8.36 million of an estimated total 11.5 million undocumented immigrants.)
"Mexico asserts its legitimate interest in ensuring that its citizens, regardless of their migratory status, are not deprived of their rights under the US Constitution and international law, or subjected to hostile attitudes or actions by US state actors or the society at large," New York lawyer Henry Solano wrote in the Mexico brief.
Critics say SB 1070 would encourage illegal racial profiling by police. Supporters say the law can be enforced without attention to race or ethnicity.
Although the Arizona law was blocked, that didn't stop legislation elsewhere. Five other states enacted similar immigration enforcement laws.
Now the issue is at the Supreme Court where the justices must decide whether Arizona overstepped its authority by enacting a state law designed to enforce federal immigration requirements.
SB 1070 sought to dramatically ramp up enforcement by enlisting state and local officials to check the immigration status of those they suspected were in the US illegally.
The Obama administration took issue with the state-led crackdown, noting that it clashed with President Obama's priority of seeking to direct federal immigration enforcement at undocumented immigrants who were convicted criminals, while leaving others alone.
In challenging SB 1070, administration lawyers said Arizona was attempting to usurp powers assigned exclusively to the federal government. It is the job of Congress and executive-branch officials to determine who may enter the US and under what conditions they may remain in the country, government lawyers say.
Immigration enforcement, the administration also argues, is intricately connected to the conduct of foreign affairs. …

Thousands of supporters of Malaysia's opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim rallied outside of Kuala Lumpur's High Court today chanting for justice ahead of a court verdict that could prevent the politician from contesting in the country's next general election.
Judge Mohamad Zabidin Mohd Diah is due to rule whether Anwar, who led the opposition to take control of five of Malaysia's 13 states in 2008, is guilty of sodomizing a former aide more than three years ago. If convicted and fined more than 2,000 ringgit ($636) or jailed for more than 12 months, the 64-year-old would be disqualified from running for parliament in national polls due to be held by June 2013, Law Professor Shad Saleem Faruqi said.
"My body may be in prison, but my soul is still free," Anwar told an outdoor rally in Kuala Lumpur last night. "Tomorrow, I will say my morning prayers, and kiss all of my family."
Kuala Lumpur police chief Mohmad Salleh gave permission last week for Anwar supporters to hold a peaceful rally today in the court's car park after meeting Azmin Ali, deputy president of Anwar's People's Justice Party. Conditions were placed on the organizers, including bans on public speaking, "Free Anwar" banners and loud hailers except for managing the crowd, according to the police's Facebook page.
Early Start
More than 2,000 people had gathered outside the court by 7.45 a.m. local time with some arriving as early as 5 a.m., according to Bloomberg reporters at the scene. They carried banners while chanting for justice and political reform.
Sodomy is illegal in Muslim-majority Malaysia, even between two consenting men. The charge could bring a sentence of as much as 20 years in prison. Anwar didn't run in the March 2008 national poll because an earlier corruption and sodomy and convictions barred him from holding office until April of that year.
The opposition chief, now an MP, faced similar allegations in 1998 when he was sacked by then-Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad as his deputy. Anwar was sentenced to nine years in jail for sodomy and a separate corruption charge, before being released in 2004 after Malaysia's highest court overturned the sex conviction.
His latest two-year trial has been criticized by outside observers as politically motivated. A conviction may heighten scrutiny of Malaysia's judicial system, with Human Rights Watch saying last month the sodomy law has been used to slander the government's opponents.
Unifying Force
Today's sentence will also dictate Anwar's role in the election process, potentially removing a figure that has united a diverse opposition if he is jailed.
The People's Alliance opposition coalition led by Anwar is comprised of his People's Justice Party, the Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party and the Democratic Action Party. Some Pan-Malaysian members espouse the implementation of Islamic law, while the Democratic Action Party's secretary-general is Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng, Malaysia's only ethnic-Chinese state leader.
"A guilty verdict would deprive the fractious opposition coalition of Anwar's unifying influence," Johannes Lund, an analyst at Control Risks said by e-mail ahead of the verdict. "Anwar is likely to remain a key opposition figure, though his leadership capacity will be limited should he be imprisoned."
If jailed for more than 12 months, Anwar wouldn't be able to run for parliament again until five years after the sentence has been served, according to Malaysia's constitution.
Right to Appeal
"He still has a right to appeal," said Shad in a telephone interview from Kuala Lumpur. "The law says if the person appeals within 14 days, then there is no disqualification until the appeal is disposed of. If parliament is dissolved, that changes the picture. Then the conviction carries effect and a convicted MP would not be able to contest again."
New York-based Human Rights Watch in a Dec. 22 report called on Malaysia to "revoke its colonial-era law criminalizing consensual sexual acts between people of the same sex" and to drop the case against Anwar. Observers including U.S. Vice President Al Gore, former U.S. Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz and billionaire Richard Branson have criticized the use of the law against the opposition chief.
Police fired tear gas and arrested more than 1,600 people protesting in Kuala Lumpur for cleaner and fairer elections in July. Prime Minister Najib Razak's government tabled a Peaceful Assembly Bill in parliament in November, banning all street protests and allowing other kinds of outdoor rallies to be held only with a police permit.

Great Wall of China is a series of stone and earthen fortifications in northern China, built originally to protect the northern borders of the Chinese Empire against intrusions by various nomadic groups. Several walls have been built since the 5th century BC that are referred to collectively as the Great Wall, which has been rebuilt and maintained from the 5th century BC through the 16th century. One of the most famous is the wall built between 220–206 BC by the first Emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang. Little of that wall remains; the majority of the existing wall was built during the Ming Dynasty.

Kaplan leaves Pictometry
Dick Kaplan announced his resignation as CEO of Pictometry International Corp., the Henrietta-based aerial imaging firm that he has built into one of the Rochester area's better-known companies.
After 10 years of leading Pictometry from startup to global enterprise, Kaplan said it was time to move on.
"My specialty is startups, and this is the longest I've ever been with a company," he said Tuesday. Pictometry is "getting into a rapid growth situation. You need a lot more process and that's not my talent."
Effective Aug. 1, Rick Hurwitz, who has served as chairman of Pictometry's board for the past seven years, will take over as CEO.
Kaplan will continue to be a board member as he works on building three other startups.
Pictometry's board had been involved in CEO succession planning for the past year.
Exports topic of forum
Rochester will host a forum on President Barack Obama's National Export Initiative, a program that aims to double U.S. exports and create jobs to replace those lost in manufacturing during the recession.
The forum is scheduled from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, July 14, at the Gleason Works auditorium, 1000 University Ave.
Thomas Engle, a State Department official, will be the principal speaker at the event.

Humuhumu's description:
Martell's Tiki Bar is a prime example of the confusion that has arisen between midcentury Polynesian Pop (which Critiki focuses on) and muddled, any-tropical-will-do, anything-with-thatch-is-tiki "Tiki Bars."
This is the latter — a bar focused on steel drums, Jimmy Buffett and Corona — and the WRONG BODY OF WATER. While Caribbean influences have always been present in Polynesian Pop (rum, calypso), this is completely missing the mark. There is little or no tiki to be had here.
It hurts me that Martell's owns "tikibar.com". They're completely within their rights, but... ugh.

American Flag Shower Curtains
* Bath Mats
*Beach Towels
* American Flag Bath Decor
America is a relatively young country but that does not make it any less great. Our founding fathers enabled us to enjoy freedoms and rights that residents of other lands only dream of having. Americans show their appreciation for this every day by flying American flags outside their homes, but now American flag shower curtains allow them to display their patriotism inside the house. Hundreds of these bath curtains are available, providing something for every style of decor.
There are plenty of themes to use when decorating the bathroom and it is not difficult to
find corresponding bath accessories. Americans are becoming more patriotic with their home decor and this extends all the way to their bathroom curtains. American flag shower curtains are one method of showing love for this great land in a truly unique way. Being the first one on the block to have one of these bath curtains will make your home truly unique and the topic of conversation.
These bathroom curtains come in many styles and feature designs that complement a neutral colored bathroom and are suitable for display year-round. Some people prefer to show their love on certain days of the year. For them, July 4th American flag shower curtains featuring fireworks exploding in the background or a President's Day curtain with bursting stars may be appropriate. Others have a certain style in mind, such as a western or desert theme, and there are curtain designs suitable for these bathrooms as well.
A unique design of American flag shower curtains combines a love of baseball with affection for the U.S.A. It features a baseball ball and glove placed on top of an American Flag. This would make a great gift for any baseball lover who praises the red, white, and blue. Active or retired military personnel may find traditional designs and billowing American flag bath curtains very attractive. Homeowners with a preference for Americana decor will like the curtain that features brown stripes on a tan background.
Durable bathroom curtains are made specifically for the shower from waterproof polyester. They feature designs with sharp, photographic quality and even have a personalization option. People who want to take their love for America a step further can customize these bath curtains with a patriotic message in any color of their choosing. This message can be designed to stand out or make a more subtle statement, depending on the hue selected.
American flag shower curtains that feature an eagle or image of a past President are especially popular. These symbols of our country speak volumes, no message needed. There are even bathroom curtains designed for a bachelor pad, featuring a woman clad only in a flag. A far cry from Lady Liberty, she is still patriotic, in her own way.
American flag shower curtains and patriotic bath accessories bring the love for this country into a room that is quite important. These bath curtains add a special touch to traditional, contemporary, and modern homes. Homeowners decorate in patriotic fashion as one way to create a unique look in the interior of their residences.

I implore House Speaker John Boehner to exercise the power of his office to prevent passage of the Senate immigration bill! If the House passes any immigration bill, both versions go to a conference committee for consolidation, then to the president for signing.
The president's recent decision to withhold implementation of a major part of his health care law, until after the midterm elections, clearly shows the executive branch is running the country by "edict" or "fiat!" Why should anyone believe that required provisions to an immigration law will actually be fulfilled, prior to granting privileges to illegals?
Does this administration have such a low opinion of the intellectual capacity of the public because it has been able to "manipulate" the Congress with its "bait and switch" promises? We, the people, are not that easily manipulated. We gain nothing from participating in a "charade" of compromise!
The 2014 midterms are an opportunity for the people to elect senators and representatives truly committed to their vow "to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic." Many current elected officials apparently forgot this pledge.

Inhibited speech
Do you find yourself afraid to open up and express your opinions lately?
Certainly if you decide to state your own opinions, under society's currently accepted criteria, you run the risk of your statements being quickly dissected, analyzed and debated as to substance and potential harm to an unknown individual or group.
As a society, we are leaning toward inhibited speech because persons or groups are becoming hesitant and restrictive with their spoken opinions. The result of all of this is that most of us miss, or are left partially informed, about the intended message.
The bigger question is how do we express our complete opinion, on any issue, if we are worried about whether or not our opinion will offend someone or be received with criticism and denunciation by others?
Freedom of speech is what America is all about, no matter how it might "sound" to the listener. I suggest we spend more time striving to "hear" the message, rather than searching for specific buzzwords or phrases that can be pounced upon in an effort to divert attention from the intended meaning and over to another agenda.

REVIEW: Exit Strategy by Kelley Armstrong
Dear Ms. Armstrong,
I know I'm way behind the curve when it comes to this book. If there had been a bus, it departed weeks ago and I'm the lone person standing on a street corner with only tumbleweeds to keep me company. There's no reason it took me so long to pick it up. I'm a big fan of your Otherworld paranormal series and I like reading books about female assassins. But even so, it's languished in my TBR pile for nearly a year now.
Luckily two things recently happened. We received the sequel for review, and Keishon announced she'd be once again holding the TBR Challenge in 2009. That was more than enough encouragement for me, so I fished Exit Strategy out of my teetering TBR pile and dove in. Maybe I should pay attention to signs like these more often, because I don't regret the decision one bit.
Nadia Stafford was once a good cop, but she retired prematurely when she shot and killed a suspect. Picking up the pieces, she opened a lodge and made a good attempt at starting a new life. But as with most new businesses, money was slow to come in and the lodge was in danger of closing only a few years after it opened. That's when Nadia received an offer from a small-time mob family to become their personal hitwoman.
Nadia can't really complain. She now has the funds to keep the lodge running until it takes off, and business shows signs of doing just that. She knows the sorts of jobs the mob family wants done and so far, they haven't been anything that violates her own sense of honor. Inevitably, they all tend to be jobs involving taking out family rivals or underlings who've crossed the line and endangered the delicate balance of power in the criminal underworld.
Then a series of sensationalistic murders hits the U.S., dubbed the work of the Helter Skelter serial killer. That's bad enough but what's worse — all signs point to the Helter Skelter killer being a professional hitman. As a result, Nadia teams up with her mentor, Jack, to stop him. After all, a professional hitman turned serial killer isn't a good thing. First of all, he'll attract unwanted attention to hitmen everywhere who are just trying to do their job. More importantly, if it's a hitman gone bad, someone's who succumbed to the power of killing people and the fear that it inspires, he needs to be put down much like you'd put down a rabid dog.
What I liked best about this book was that you gave us a sympathetic female assassin without downplaying the grim realities of her line of work. It's not glorified but it's not minimized either. Nadia is a tough heroine but it's easy to see how she came to this point. She comes from a family of cops. It's in her blood. But just as there are grim realities in being an assassin, there are grim realities in being a cop. Sometimes the suspect that's guilty beyond a shadow of a doubt gets away. Sometimes the system fails to deliver justice. Nadia learned this firsthand as a child and when she's confronted with it again as an adult and as a cop, she makes the choice that cost her career.
Because of that traumatic childhood event, Nadia suffers from survivor's guilt. It's what led her to become a cop. It's what keeps her code of honor as an assassin. There's a fascinating thematic exploration in the book about the boundaries assassins put down, what lines they will not cross, and under what circumstances they will. One of the things that Jack, as Nadia's mentor, emphasizes to her is the importance of having the lodge in her life, of having something other than this profession. Because let's face it: what kind of person does it take to be an assassin for their entire life? And is Nadia that kind of person? In meeting the various assassins throughout the book — from Jack to the Helter Skelter Killer to Evelyn, Jack's mentor — there's a noticeable difference between Nadia from them. Will Nadia retain her code of honor or will she become like them?
Speaking of Jack, the tension between Nadia and him is smoking. I realize there's currently a more likely love interest for Nadia at the moment but for me, Nadia and Jack is where it's at. It's not so much the mentor and student relationship because I generally don't find that dynamic interesting and in fact, many times find it off-putting. It's the fact that sometimes I get the impression Jack is mentoring Nadia not because he wants her to be a good hitwoman but because he doesn't want her to become like him or any of the other assassins he knows in their line of work.
For a book that's nearly 500 pages long, I thought the plot moved at a fast pace. It had enough twists, turns, and complications to keep me turning the pages. As I said earlier, Exit Strategy doesn't glamorize the life of an assassin. It shows all the legwork and research that leads up to a hit and all the preparations, planning, and contingencies that must be taken into consideration. Put like that, it sounds boring and tedious but this book made it interesting. I enjoy reading details like that; if anything, glossing over such details annoys me as a reader. And what I liked even more was that the idea of an assassin needing to plan and prepare plays just as big a role in the plot as the idea of an assassin getting drunk on power.
Many thanks to the TBR Challenge for coming along to give me that extra kick in the butt to pick this up. Otherwise I would have missed out on a really great read. What's even better is that I have the sequel, Made to Be Broken, to look forward to. Sometimes there are advantages to waiting so long to read a novel — no long waits in between books. A very high, solid B+ for me.
My regards,
This book can be purchased in mass market from Amazon or ebook format from the Sony Store and other etailers.

UC Davis Receives $16 Million Gates Foundation Grant to Support Research to Prevent Childhood Malnutrition
November 18, 2008
The University of California, Davis, announced today that it has received a $16 million grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to support research to prevent childhood malnutrition in developing countries. UC Davis will lead an international network of researchers at public and private institutions in Burkina Faso, Finland, France, Ghana, Malawi and the United States.
The five-year grant will support research focused on formulating and evaluating a cost-effective, fortified peanut butter-like nutritional supplement to improve nutrition for children and women in impoverished nations.
"More than 3 million children die each year of malnutrition due not just to a lack of calories, but also to poor diet quality, particularly insufficient intake of micronutrients like zinc and iron, which are so critical to healthy growth and development," said UC Davis nutrition professor Kathryn Dewey, an authority on maternal and child nutrition and lead researcher on the project.
"Our research team is extremely grateful to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation for supporting our work to formulate and evaluate the impact of a cost-effective supplement that can be made from locally produced foods and used to enrich the diets of women and children," she said.
Dewey noted that, worldwide, 178 million children under the age of 5 years suffer from nutrition-related growth stunting. Many infants are born malnourished and usually show the greatest faltering in growth between 6 and 12 months of age. During this critical period of growth and development, children need high-quality diets, but in very poor communities the main food other than breast milk is usually a watery, grain-based porridge containing only a fraction of the necessary nutrients.
Studies conducted in Africa by many of the researchers involved in the newly funded project have shown that fortified lipid- or fat-based nutrient supplements are a highly effective way to treat malnutrition in young children. The new Gates Foundation grant will support continued research, now aimed at developing supplements that will help prevent, as well as treat, malnutrition.
Such lipid-based nutrient supplements offer the advantages of providing a tasty, inexpensive source of all of the necessary vitamins and minerals. And, unlike milk or powdered milk, the supplements do not require refrigeration or a clean supply of drinking water.
During the next five years, the research network plans to:
- Develop low-cost, appealing formulations of supplements, made from locally available ingredients, for consumption by children under the age of two and pregnant or breastfeeding women;
- Determine the most cost-effective, efficacious dose of supplement to prevent malnutrition among a sample of infants and young children in Malawi;
- Determine how much zinc to include in the supplements, through field studies with young children in Burkina Faso;
- Evaluate the effectiveness of the supplements for pregnant and breastfeeding women in Malawi and Ghana;
- Identify the socioeconomic factors that influence households' willingness and ability to purchase supplements, and the production and distribution systems that will enhance their affordability and availability, especially to the poor;

Chocolate Ice Cream
Remember Bake it Forward? It's a way to share the importance of fair trade products with others by baking them some goodies made with fair trade ingredients. Here's a way to do that this summer without heating up your kitchen. You can make them ice cream made with fair trade chocolate and sugar and freeze it forward.
This recipe comes from the most recent Divine Chocolate newsletter. Divine is one of my favorite fair trade chocolates.
- 1/2 (3.5 oz) bar of Divine 70% dark chocolate
- 9 oz soft-dried figs
- 200 ml milk, chilled
- 3 tbsp superfine sugar (fair trade if you can find it)
- 1 cup double cream, chilled
Time Estimates
Prep time: 25 min
Total time: 25 min
Break up chocolate and chop as finely as possible in a food processor. Transfer to large bowl.
Chop the figs roughly in the food processor. Then add the milk and sugar and process until it's a smooth puree.
Whip the cream until soft peaks form. Fold in chopped chocolate and fig puree.
Turn into an ice cream machine if you have one and churn until frozen OR freeze the entire mixture and freeze until firm.
Eat within a few days.

SilverStripe CMS & Framework
SilverStripe is an outstanding CMS designed to hit the sweet spot where content editors, managers, graphic designers, and site developers can all do their best work. At Quinn Interactive, we've adopted SilverStripe wholeheartedly, because we can efficiently adapt it to our clients' needs, then confidently hand off the site to our clients. We know their experience managing and editing the site in the SilverStripe CMS will be excellent.
Why you'll love SilverStripe
- SilverStripe "gets" data. Silverstripe understands relational databases. That means SilverStripe makes it easy to manage the information your site is showing off, so you enter content once, and let intelligent pages fetch and display that content however you need to. What's more, your visitors will have no trouble searching, filtering, and sifting through the site so they can find exactly what they're looking for.
- Developer effectiveness. Because our developers love how SilverStripe's framework works the way they work, you're going to get great results as we customize SilverStripe. As you discover new capabilities you need your site to have, you'll be confident that we or your own developers can bring them forth.
- Administration panel. Non-technical people are the ones who have to work with SilverStripe every day, so SilverStripe's administration panel uses terms you and your editors know and understand. Administrative options include everything you'd expect, plus access control, content versioning, and web CMS usage reporting.
- Staging environment. Unlike many other CMS tools, SilverStripe supports a stage environment as well as a live one.
- Editing environment. SilverStripe has the best editor interface we've seen. Editors can enter content and easily add and reorder pages with intuitive drag-and-drop tools. The controls for the rich text editor are recognizable and easy to use.
Why our developers love SilverStripe
- Model-view-controller (MVC) design pattern. SilverStripe's underlying framework is much like Ruby on Rails, but for PHP. Apart from enabling us to extend and enhance the functionality of the CMS and the website, it is a great tool for building web applications from the ground up.
- Reliable. Scalable. Maintainable. The 2008 Democratic National Convention's website was built on SilverStripe. It responded to a huge amount of traffic and as far as we know is the only open-source CMS reviewed by the FBI. The MVC design patterns means SilverStripe development goes well with modern open-source workflows and development tools like the version control system git.
- Open source. SilverStripe runs anywhere PHP runs. For databases, you have a choice of MySQL, PostgreSQL, or MS SQL Server. It's free to download, and the code is freely available under the liberal BSD license.
- Active developer community. SilverStripe continues to evolve to become even better. SilverStripe Ltd. and a host of developers from around the world are collaborating to make improvements in the best tradition of open source software.
- Free stuff! SilverStripe comes with loads of already built capabalitites, like asset management, image resizing, SEO-friendly URLs, multilingual support, metadata management, automatic site-map generation, full-text search, RSS feeds, custom feedback forms, and much more.
- Modules. Many large pieces of website functionality have been pre-built, including blogs, e-commerce, external authentication (LDAP, Active Directory, OpenID, etc.), Flickr galleries, forums, Google maps, Technorati, and YouTube galleries.
Quinn Interactive, Inc. is an official certified SilverStripe partner
This strategic alliance means that when QI works on your SilverStripe-based web CMS or web application implementation, we do so with the full backing and technical support of SilverStripe's headquarters in New Zealand.
You can learn more about our partnership with SilverStripe here:

It commenced operation as a Philippine subsidiary of NYLILLC with Allied Banking Corporation as its local bancassurance affiliate in 2002 which took minority interest in the Corporation consistent with the requirements of Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas.
In 2007, NYLILLC divested its interest in NYLIP in favor of Allied Banking Corporation and its principals. The change in ownership of the Corporation and the merger of Allied Banking Corporation and the Philippine National Bank which are both controlled by the Lucio Tan Conglomerate and affiliated interests, led to the change of its corporate name to PNB Life Insurance, Inc. which signifies close affinity to the Philippine National Bank and a deeper understanding of its markets and ever changing customer needs. The Company name has changed but it remains steadfast on its commitment to service NYLIP Policyholders and its products with excellence.
PNB Life Insurance takes pride to be associated as the latest member to the Lucio Tan Group of Companies – proven leaders in markets they serve – and is dedicated to strengthen and broaden its role in financial services complementation to its parent – the Philippine National Bank. As a 100% Filipino owned and managed Company, PNB Life is now more attuned to the demands of markets it is dedicated to serve and aims to Provide New Beginnings to its clientele.
