 Good health is key to living life according to your own terms, whether you’re pursuing your  dreams, caring for your family, or enjoying your wealth. This is the message that Sun Life  Philippines wishes to send in its latest campaign, as it strives to inspire more Filipinos to  pursue a healthy lifestyle while also availing the benefits of a health insurance.  

At the forefront of the campaign is a video called Wheel of Life, which depicts a game show  where players get a preview of the financial impact caused by various illnesses, and how  having health insurance can help mitigate this. The video stars Sun Life brand ambassador  Piolo Pascual playing the role of a game show host.

 “Critical illness can deplete one’s hard-earned savings,” Sun Life Chief Client Experience and  Marketing Officer Carla Gonzalez-Chong said. “Through our new campaign, we wish to  present Sun Life as a partner that can help Filipinos be well prepared against these  uncertainties and live life on their own terms.”  

Sun Life welcomes Donny Pangilinan as New Ambassador  

To further raise awareness, especially among the younger generation, Sun Life has also  introduced rising star Donny Pangilinan as its new Sun Life health ambassador. Donny, who  is an athlete on top of his showbiz pursuits, will be at the forefront of the campaign’s digital  activities and promo on TikTok. Participants can get a chance to win exciting prizes. Details  will be announced on Sun Life’s Facebook page.  

“Young Filipinos needing a role model in pursuing their health goals will surely relate to  Donny, who has always been active in sports and outspoken in this advocacy,” Gonzalez Chong said. “We’re delighted to have him join the Sun Life family.”
