VIA GRAPHIC PLUS | MANILA, Philippines (September 3, 2026) — Sun Life Philippines, the country’s No. 1 life insurer in terms of total premium income, is putting the spotlight on Filipino business owners whose compassion and perseverance have empowered them to overcome obstacles and continue pursuing their goals.
Continuing its “Stories to Live Bright Now” series, Sun Life has released two new videos entitled “Alaga” and “Pag-asa.”
In “Alaga,” viewers meet Marc Cacho, who runs Milagros, an elderly caregiving facility dedicated to providing compassionate care for senior citizens. Recognizing that caregivers also need protection and support, Marc ensured that members of his team were covered by Sun Life. This decision proved invaluable when one employee faced a serious health challenge and mounting medical expenses, as it helped provide much-needed financial assistance during a difficult time.
Meanwhile,”Pag-asa” tells the story of Lucy Sanchez, an overseas Filipino worker who dreamed of reuniting permanently with her family in the Philippines. Determined to secure their future together, Lucy returned home to focus on growing a family business with her husband. Through hard work and with guidance from their Sun Life advisor, the couple was able to make the most of the resources they had built over the years and turn their aspirations into reality.
“Business owners carry more than their own dreams. They also carry the hopes of their families, employees, and communities,” said Carla Gonzalez-Chong, Chief Client Experience and Marketing Officer of Sun Life Philippines. “Through ‘Stories to Live Bright Now,’ we hope to inspire Filipinos business owners with real stories which show that, with the right support and a willingness to take meaningful steps forward, a brighter future is within reach.”
Now showing on Sun Life’s official Facebook page, the “Stories to Live Bright Now” series forms part of the Live Bright Now campaign, which encourages Filipinos to take small but meaningful steps towards achieving their goals.
Started in 1927, the Philippines Graphic is the longest-running printed magazine of national circulation that provides relevant news and features and promotes Philippine literature.
