"Why
isn’t there a tech company in the Philippines?" asked Gian Javelona, then
a young and highly ambitious college student taking up Computer Engineering at
the Polytechnic University of the Philippines.
Today, at
26, Javelona is CEO of OrangeApps, a company that brings together a School
Information System, a Learning Management System, and Data Analytics in a
singular platform for better school performance.
Javelona
was included in Forbes Magazine’s 30 Under 30 Asia 2017, a prestigious list of
young achievers and innovators in the region. OrangeApps is continuously on the
up and up, with its latest portfolio of products expanding to include Khawna, an
online learning platform that offers various courses to people who may need
additional know-how in science, technology, engineering and entrepreneurship,
even in far-flung areas as long as there is Internet access. Other
game-changing and groundbreaking products are currently being developed.
Javelona
was invited recently as a panelist in a discussion organized by AXA for its new
offering MyAmbition, the first investment-linked insurance product that is
available online. At the event, Javelona talked about his path to becoming an
entrepreneur and achieving his ambition. A major milestone in his life was when
he was accepted in 2013 to the incubation program of Ideaspace Foundation, an
initiative of businessman Manny Pangilinan to help nurture start-ups and
"technopreneurship," as well as innovation technology development.
AXA MyAmbition is a variable life
insurance plan that can be bought online for a one-time investment of as little
as P50,000 up to a maximum of P125,000. It lets you grow your money by
investing it in a fund best suited to your investment personality. It also
doubles as a life insurance, which means your loved ones will receive bigger
gains in the future in case something unexpected happens to you. You also have
the option to let your money stay with AXA so it can grow further.
You can check the performance of your
investment by simply downloading the MYAXA app and registering your policy. You
can avail of up to 10 MyAmbition policies, and you can pay your premium via
your credit or debit card.
AXA encourages people of all ages and
walks of life to have a game plan, in the same way Javelona does, to be able to
live the life they choose. To learn more about AXA MyAmbition, visit axa.com.ph
