Sun Life
Financial Philippines opened the year by rallying Filipinos towards
health and wellness while raising over Php 5 Million for charity in its annual
fun run, the Sunpiology Resolution Run.
Held last January 20
at Camp Aguinaldo in Quezon City, the
event attracted over 3,000 runners,
who tackled obstacles designed to raise awareness about diabetes. A limbo rock challenge reminded everyone
to keep their health in check, a 100-step
challenge gave reminders on how to infuse exercise in one’s daily routine,
while a sugar tunnel prompted
everyone to watch their sugar intake.
Sun Life has been championing
diabetes awareness since 2015, after studies that it commissioned showed
that many Filipinos lacked knowledge about the debilitating disease. In fact,
part of the funds raised will go to the Institute for Studies on Diabetes
Foundation (ISDFI), which facilitates diabetes awareness and prevention
initiatives for Filipinos.
Other beneficiaries are Noordhoff Craniofacial Foundation,
Hebreo Foundation, and the Star Magic scholars.
Now on its 9th year,
the run was once again co-presented by Star Magic and led by actor and Sun Life
brand ambassador Piolo Pascual. His fellow artists, such as Matteo Guidicelli,
Enchong Dee, Robi Domingo, Kisses Delavin, Edward Barber, and Maymay Entrata
also joined the event. Other artists were Ashley Colet, Bailey May, Belle
Mariano, Chantal Videla, Christian Morones, Claire Ruiz, Franco Rodriguez,
Hannah Ledesma, Hannah Lopez Vito, Henz Villaraiz, Jai Agpangan, Jameson Blake,
Jessica Marasigan, Joe Vargas, Joj Agpangan, Kyle Velino, Lance Lucido, Loren
Burgos, Marco Gallo, Maris Racal, Mark Rivera, Mikee Agustin, Nico Antonio,
Nikki Valdez, Inigo Pascual, Pamu Pamorada, Raine Salamante, Ria Atayde, Sam
Shoaf, Sam Thurman, Tommy Esguerra, Vivoree Esclito, Xia Vigor,Yesha Camile, Ysabel
