Award-winning actor Piolo Pascual showed another side at a recent press con for his Sun Life endorsement.
Piolo proved to the attendees he is not only a hit singer, concert performer, and athlete but could also give the current crop of game show hosts a run for their money in the “Wheel of Life” segment. The “Wheel of Life” gives players a preview of the financial impact caused by various illnesses, and how having health insurance can help mitigate this.
“Critical illness can deplete one’s hard-earned savings,” Sun Life 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.”
Aside from hosting the “Wheel of Life” game show, Piolo also welcomed the newest SunLife health ambassador – Donny Pangilinan. 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.
“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.”
Meanwhile, in a bid to provide Filipinos more opportunities to be active and prioritize their health, Sun Life is bringing back Sun Life Cycle PH and holding the Wheel of Life Pop-up Fair. Sun Life Cycle PH is happening on April 23 at the Vermosa Sports Hub in Imus, Cavite.
