The
2017 Cobra Ironman 70.3 Philippines triathlon race was a success, held last
Sunday, August 06, 2017 here in Cebu. Just a day prior, the Sun Life Tri-Team
held a press conference at the Shangri-La’s Mactan Resort and Spa in Lapu-Lapu
City.
The Sun Life Financial Philippines once again took part of the said
event, with its very own executives, advisors, and brand ambassador Piolo
Pascual leading their Tri-Team. Sun Life had a total of five relay teams and
one individual racer – by far its biggest contingency since it started joining
the prestigious race in 2013.
Actor
Enchong Dee (swim) joined fellow celebrity Piolo Pascual (bike) in his team along with Toniel Ty (run).
Sun
Life Board Director Paco Sandejas (swim) raced with Sun Life advisors Eboy de
Leon (bike) and Mike Miras (run).
Sandejas’
wife, former Olympian and TV host Christine Jacob Sandejas (swim) formed Sun
Life’s all-female team together with Laarni de Guzman (bike) and Sun Life
Health and Wellness Marketing Manager Jaymie “The Bull Runner” Pizarro (run).
Former
national team member Jan Michael Chiu (swim) together with Sun Life’s Karl
Villalonga (bike) and Alfred Diacosa (run) composed the 4th team,
while Sun Life advisors KB Espinosa (swim) and Rocio Pantaleon (bike) together
with Toots Malapad (run) of Sun Life’s Agency Business Development Group formed
the 5th team.
Meanwhile,
Hazel Ferrer-Misa of Sun Life’s Strategy and Financial Management Group
competed in the individual category.
The
medal awarded to the racers was once again designed by the multi-awarded
furniture designer and manufacturer from Cebu, Kenneth Cobonpue, himself a Sun
Life brand ambassador.
“Sun
Life has taken part in the Ironman many times, and yet, the excitement it
brings never gets old. We’re proud of how our team is mostly composed of our
very own executives and advisors, who truly embody our company’s commitment to
health and wellness,” Sun Life CEO and Country Head Riza Mantaring said.
Sun
Life has been boosting its health and wellness initiatives with GoWell, a
community that promotes holistic wellness through a fit and active lifestyle,
healthy eating, and living a balanced life. For more details kindly check their
website.
“We
hope that the Sun Life Tri-Team will inspire Filipinos who are looking to lead
healthier lives. We encourage them to join the GoWell community so that we can
help them reach their fitness goals,” Mantaring said.
During the presscon, Sunpiology Duo was
launched. It will come in two parts: Sun Life Cycle PH and Sun Life Resolution
Run. Sun Life will be mounting the event in partnership with Sunrise Events,
Inc. Contract signing between the two companies took place with Sun Life CEO
and Country Head Riza Mantaring, Sun Life ambassador Piolo Pascual, Sunrise
Founder Wilfred Uytengsu, and Sunrise General Manager Princess Galura in
attendance. For more details, please visit http://www.sunpiology.com/ .
