Cebuana Lhuillier, one of the Philippines’ leading and largest micro-financial service providers and a champion in financial inclusivity and mobility, recently launched its new insurance for dogs. The Philippines has the highest rate of pet ownership among the SEA countries at 83%, led by dogs at 67%.
