Metrobank was awarded a Silver Stevie for its video titled “In Good Hands: The Metrobank Story” at the recently held 20th Annual International Business Awards (IBAs), one of the world’s premier business awards programs.
“In Good Hands: The Metrobank Story” is a short video that narrates the rich heritage of the bank, which it has built over the course of 60 years.
It showcases the resilience, values, and culture of “malasakit” among Metrobank employees, which sets Metrobank apart as the country’s second-largest bank.
The video features real-life stories that demonstrate the trust customers have placed in the bank, its partnerships with key stakeholders, and its commitment to social responsibility—one of the bank’s core pillars, emphasizing the importance of doing good, helping others, and contributing to the country’s development.
Metrobank is the sole Philippine company awarded in the Video for Financial Services category of the program, which recognizes excellence in videos produced for business-related purposes.
“It’s an honor to be recognized by the International Business Awards. We’re proud to pay tribute to the decades of trust placed in us by our clients, which has been built through hard work, resilience, and the ‘malasakit’ spirit of Metrobank employees. Over the past 60 years and in the years to come, we will continue to be a partner in nation-building and remain true to our ‘You’re in good hands promise,'” said Digs Dimagiba, Chief Marketing Officer for Metrobank.
Known as “the International Stevies,” the IBAs recognize the achievements and positive contributions of organizations and working professionals worldwide. This year’s competition attracted more than 3,700 nominations from organizations of all types in more than 60 countries.
