The three major island groups are Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao of which Luzon is the largest island and it is also where the capital city, Manila, is located. The archipelago is bordered by the South China Sea to the West, the Pacific Ocean to the East, the Bashi Channel to the North and the Sulu and -. Celebes Seas to the South.

M - million. a - Projection based on 1980 census.
3 According to the National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB), the Gross National Product (GNP) dropped by 0.23% as of the end of June this year compared to the 5.8% growth registered last year in January-June The International Monetary Fund (IMF) expects the full-year QNP to shrink by 1%. The Real l3ross Domestic Product (GDP), as of first semester 1990, reported an increase of 3.94%. However, as of this year 1991, GDP subsided by 0.58%. There was also an increase in unemployment.

5 IV. THE ACTUARIAL PROFESSION Here in the Philippines, an actuary is considered professionally qualified if he is a fellow of the Actuarial Society of the Philippines, Inc. (ASP). The Insurance Code also recognizes as qualified actuaries the fellows of the Society of Actuaries (SA) in the United States. Fellows of the ASP are those who passed all the 6 parts of the prescribed examinations of the Society. Aside from the Fellow, the ASP has two other membership classifications. These are the following: 1. Associate - those who passed the first three parts of the prescribed examinations1 and 2. Affiliate - those who are interested in the field or who are involved in an actuarial job for at least a year. The ASP has 163 members in good standing for the year 1991 summarized below : MEMBERS OF THE A.S.P. FOR THE YEAR 1991 AFFILIATES 77
6 The Insurance Code requires all life insurance companies to have a resident employed actuary but due to the scarcity of qualified actuaries here in the Philippines this provision of the code has not been strictly implemented. Aside from the technical responsibilities of Actuaries, that is, the calculations of premiums, reserves and non- forfeiture values, they are also involved in management, budgeting, investment and market analysis, product planning and designing. There is no separate organization for consulting actuaries here in the Philippines. Since Pre-need companies have been growing tremendously for the past years, consulting actuaries have been involved not only in the establishment and valuation of Pre-need plans, specifically pension plans, for funding purposes also in giving advice on the over-all administration of but the plans. V. FUNDINO OF PENSION PLANS There are two types of Plan. These are: 1. the Qualified Plan; and 2. the Non-Qualif ied Plan. Under a Qualified Plan, the retirement fund is administered by a trust and it is funded through regular contributions by the employer alone or both by the employer and its employees.
7 For tax purposes, employer contribution for normal cost is 100% deductible expense whilst funding of past service liability is deductible expense to the extent of 10% of actual funding (remaining 90% is recognized at the rate of 10% every taxable year). The employee's contribution, if the Plan is contributory, is not a tax deductible expense to the employee. However, his retirement benefit is tax exempt (from income tax) provided he is at least age 50 and have rendered at least 10 years of service to the Company. The earnings of the Retirement Trust Fund are tax exempt from income tax. In a Non-Qualified Plan, it can either be financed on a pay-as-you-go basis or by creation of book reserves. If the Plan is trusteed, the contribution of the Employer is a deductible expense. No tax exemption privileges can be availed by this type ot Plan. Likewise, the employee's contribution is not a tax deductible expense for him. VI. THE PHILIPPINE INSURANCE INDUSTRY A. Insurance Structure The Insurance Commission (IC) issued certificates of authority to a total of 130 private insurance companies for
