Cebu, Philippines — Training on three disciplines and championing them all at once is a big feat. I am no athlete, heck I cannot even swim! But I remember back when I started training for Aikido back early 2000’s and had to endure the physical as well as the mental pain. It meant more of mental conditioning on top of getting physically fit by joining daily calisthenics and core strengthening. I was so young then, and practicing Aikido at Musubi Dojo was somehow limited to a few who are Filipinos who had Chinese lineages, either by blood or by association.
Learning Triathlon requires the same focus and discipline as well as the passion to push through difficult and tacky situations like learning Aikido. Some people see training for triathlon as a respite for a lot of things, including office stress, relationship stress and as well as coping up with pressure from peers. With this, it is better to know that LIFE is better with Sun Life’s Go WELL PH initiative. Sun Life has always supported initiatives and efforts on preventive measures to have a well-balanced life as well as providing protection with products that compliment an active lifestyle for its beneficiaries.
This year, Sun Life Financial Philippines Triathlon Team marks its 5th year as participants in the upcoming REgent Aguila Ironman 70.3 Triathlon on August 05 by fielding a total of 13 races led by brand ambassador and flag bearer, Mr. Piolo Pascual, actor Mr. Enchong Dee and of course, its very own core team of executives.
Piolo will bike for one of the relay teams while teaming up again with Enchong (swim) and Triathlete Toniel Uy (run).
On the other hand, Sun Life Chief Investments Officer Michael Enriquez will also see action on the bike, together with Toots Malapad, the Sun Life Business Development Manager for Partnership Distribution as well as Ged Custodia, Sun Life Sales Training and Development Head.
The Sun Life National team is composed of Jan Chiu (swim), together with Sun Life Digital Transformation Specialist Karl Villalonga (bike), TBR Sun Life Dream Marathon 2017 top finisher Alfred Diacosa (run) for the third team, while an all-feamle team will consist of élite athletes Bea Grabador (swim), Laarni de Guzman (bike) and Charlle Sy (run). Not to be missed as well is Bubbles Paraiso who will also join the élite team of iron ladies.
As per Sun Life CEO & Country Head Benedict Sison, “It is a thrill for us to once again be a part of Ironman 70.3, which is a perfect venue for us to highlight Sun Life’s health and wellness thrust.” He also said that “By having our own brand ambassador and executives leading the Sun Tri Life Team in Ironman, we’re confident that we’re sending a clear message that we’re committed to this purpose. We hope that by after the journey of our athletes in this race, more Filipinos will be inspired to lead healthier lives.”
