SEC Warns Business Transactions With Phil-Asia Care Plans, Inc.


The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is warning the public, especially Aklanons, "to take the necessary precautions before entering into transactions with Phil-Asia Care Plans, Inc."
According to the SEC, the Court of Appeals (CA) is "directing Phil-Asia, its officers, directors, representatives, salesmen, agents and all persons acting on their behalf to cease and desist from further engaging in activities of selling, offering for sale pre-need plans and to refrain from further collecting amortization. This SEC warning is issued on September 25, 2003 which is still enforced to the present.
According to the SEC, Phil-Asia Cares Plan, Inc. "has no pre-need plans available for sale…, no licensed dealers; no salesmen’s permit; and no authority to operate a branch. The company failed to comply with all the SEC requirements for a pre-need company and…is not authorized to sell new pre-need plans."
Director Hubert B. Guevara of the Compliance and Enforcement Department, SEC in his letter to Aklan Gov. Carlito S. Marquez, informed about Phil-Asia Care Plans, Inc. owned by Vicente R. Afulugencia, Sr. because of several queries SEC is receiving regarding the said company.
"The subject corporation has pending criminal cases filed with the Mandaluyong Regional Trial Court…for violation of…Securities Regulation Code."
Madyaas Pen tried to contact the officers of Phil-Asia Care Plans, Inc. to get its side of this cease and desist order, but failed to contact them.
Based upon the report of PO1 George L. Quimpo, Municipal Ordinance officer of Kalibo, Phil-Asia Care Plans, Inc. is presently located at Waldolf Bldg., OsmeƱa Ave., Kalibo, Aklan. Phil-Asia Care Plans, Inc. is headed by Mr. Melchor Constantino, Jr., Area Manager and Ms. Jade Illo, branch manager.
Quimpo reported further that Phil-Asia has Business Permit to operate in Kalibo in 2005. But, it has no Business Permit for the last three years: 2006, 2007 and 2008.
According to Ms. Mary Gay V. Quimpo of the Office of the Mayor of Kalibo, a closure order was prepared and served on August 11, 2008 Phil-Asia Care Plans, Inc. /MP
