Sun Life gives back: A commitment beyond lifetimes

In line with its 125th Anniversary, Sun Life Philippines, through its philanthropic arm Sun Life Financial Philippines Foundation Inc., reiterates its commitment to give back to the country that has been its home since 1895.

As part of its financial literacy advocacy, Sun Life Foundation recently launched Sun Pera-Aralan, a financial management program that will enable teachers to properly budget their finances. The program, mounted in partnership with the Department of Education, aims to benefit 125,000 public school teachers nationwide by empowering them to go from financial awareness to action.

Meanwhile, amid the recent activity of the Taal Volcano, Sun Life Foundation has also allocated ₱2 million for relief efforts for affected families. Further efforts are being coordinated between the Sun Life Foundation and the Philippine Red Cross on how else Sun Life may assist in providing aid for those stricken by the calamity.

These initiatives are on top of Sun Life Foundation’s regular projects founded upon its core pillars: Financial Literacy, Education, Health, Environment and Arts and Culture.

“The Sun Life community is one in providing the help needed in times like this. This is our way of giving back to the country that has been our home for 125 years,” says Sun Life chief executive officer and country head Benedict Sison, who is also the chairman of the Sun Life Foundation. “Through sustainable programs and relevant forms of assistance, we aim to stay true to our promise of being the Filipinos’ partner in their pursuit of a brighter life not just in the present, but even beyond lifetimes.”
