Sunlife Receives Golden Arrow Award for 8th Consecutive Year for Corporate Governance Excellence

TAGUIG CITY, Philippines (October 2026) – Sun Life of Canada (Philippines), Inc. (Sunlife) has been recognized with a Golden Arrow Award for the eighth consecutive year, based on the 2025 ASEAN Corporate Governance Scorecard (ACGS).

 

The recognition reflects Sunlife’s sustained commitment to strong corporate governance and responsible business practices. More importantly, it reinforces the standards that help Sunlife protect its Clients’ interests, make sound decisions, manage risks responsibly, and remain accountable to the people it serves.

 

The recognition ceremony was held recently at the Makati Shangri-La in Makati City, with Sunlife Philippines’ Country Head and CEO, JJ Moreno, and General Counsel, Atty. Paolo Macapagal, in attendance.

 

For a financial services organization, good corporate governance practices directly support the trust Clients place in the company. Strong governance helps ensure that decisions are made responsibly, risks are appropriately managed, and the organization remains focused on delivering on its long-term commitments.

 

“Receiving the Golden Arrow Award for the eighth consecutive year is an affirmation of the standards we have consistently upheld. More than the recognition itself, what matters is what good governance enables us to do for our Clients and stakeholders: make responsible decisions, safeguard their interests, and earn their trust every day,” said Moreno.

 

The ASEAN Corporate Governance Scorecard assesses companies based on established corporate governance principles and practices. For Sunlife, consistently meeting strong governance standards helps build a more resilient organization that can continue serving Clients through different life stages and economic environments.

 

“Our Clients entrust us with some of their most important financial goals. That responsibility calls for transparency, accountability, and integrity in how we run our business. Strong corporate governance helps us honor that trust and remain a partner our Clients can count on for the long term,” Moreno added.

 

The eighth consecutive Golden Arrow recognition further strengthens Sunlife’s commitment to continuous improvement in corporate governance and responsible stewardship as it helps Filipinos achieve lifetime financial security and live healthier lives.

Sun Life Study: Filipinos Consider Financial Security, Family Values, and Educational Opportunities as the Heart of Their Legacy

MANILA, PHILIPPINES (October 2026) – Filipinos are taking a more intentional approach to legacy planning, viewing it as more than simply passing on wealth. According to Sun Life Asia's latest study, Passing the Torch: When Legacy Means More Than Money, many Filipinos now see legacy as a combination of financial security, family values, and educational opportunities for future generations.

 

Legacy is about purpose, not just wealth

 

While 92% of Filipinos intend to leave financial assets or wealth to future generations, the study found that what they hope to leave behind goes beyond money. Educational opportunities emerged as the top legacy priority, cited by 56% of respondents, ahead of wealth and family traditions at 45% each.

 

Among those planning to transfer wealth, 61% want their assets invested for long-term growth, while 55% want them to support essential family needs and 53% want them to help fund education.

 

"Filipinos are increasingly viewing legacy through a broader lens," said JJ Moreno, Country Head and CEO of Sun Life Philippines. "The goal is no longer just to pass on wealth, but to create opportunities, share values, and give future generations the tools they need to succeed. That's a meaningful shift in how families think about long-term financial planning."

 

More Filipinos are turning intentions into plans

 

The research points to significant progress in legacy planning over the past year. Only 8% of respondents said they have no legacy plan in place, down from 25% in 2025. Meanwhile, 36% now have a fully documented and communicated legacy plan, a sharp increase from just 6% a year ago.

 

The Philippines also ranks among the strongest markets in Asia when it comes to formalized legacy planning, with the country's 36% rate of fully documented and communicated plans exceeding the regional average of 22%.

 

These gains are reflected in rising confidence, with 53% of respondents saying they feel fully or mostly prepared for their legacy, compared to 38% in 2025.

 

Preparing heirs is now a bigger concern than protecting assets

 

Despite greater planning activity, many respondents remain concerned about whether their wealth will endure across generations. More than eight in ten Filipinos (82%) worry that their wealth may not survive beyond the next generation.

 

Notably, the biggest concern is no longer market performance. Half of respondents (50%) said their primary worry is that beneficiaries may not be financially prepared to manage inherited wealth, surpassing concerns about market volatility (46%).

 

The findings were particularly pronounced among younger generations. While 71% of Gen Z and 73% of Millennials believe their wealth can positively impact future generations, 86% and 84%, respectively, also worry that it may not last beyond the next generation.

 

"The findings suggest that families recognize wealth preservation is not only about growing assets but also about preparing the people who will inherit them," Moreno said. "Financial knowledge, open conversations, and clear plans are becoming just as important as investment performance when building a lasting legacy."

 

Legacy conversations are happening, but many remain unfinished

 

The study found that 70% of respondents have had at least some legacy-related discussions within their families. However, only 25% said these plans have been communicated fully, highlighting a gap between starting the conversation and ensuring everyone understands the long-term plan.

 

At the same time, professional guidance is becoming increasingly important. While only 34% have already sought legacy-planning advice, another 50% said they would like to do so in the future. Trustworthiness and integrity emerged as the most important qualities when selecting an adviser, ranking even higher than expert knowledge.

 

Turning legacy intentions into lasting impact

 

Legacy planning is ultimately about more than transferring assets. The findings suggest that families can strengthen their plans by documenting their intentions, involving loved ones in meaningful discussions, and preparing future beneficiaries with the knowledge and confidence to manage what they will inherit. Starting these conversations and planning efforts early also gives families more time to align their goals, clarify responsibilities, and ensure their legacy can endure across generations.

 

“The strongest legacies are not defined by the wealth that is passed on, but by how well future generations are prepared to carry that legacy forward,” Moreno added. “When families take the time to prepare heirs, they give their legacy the best chance to endure for generations.”

 

The full report of the key findings in the Philippines is available upon request.

Sun Life Foundation’s Project SUNRISE Continues to Brighten Futures for Cebu Youth

MANILA, PH – (September 2026) – Sun Life Financial-Philippines Foundation, Inc. (Sun Life Foundation) and Children of Asia recently renewed their collaboration for Project SUNRISE, continuing their shared commitment to helping Cebu youth stay in school, prepare for future careers, and build brighter futures.

 

Through Project SUNRISE, 125 high school and college students in Cebu City as well as the municipalities of Alegria, Daanbantayan, Medellin, and Minglanilla receive financial assistance for expenses such as miscellaneous fees, uniforms, and school supplies. The program is renewed annually and will continue until all the scholars graduate from college.

 

Launched in 2020, Project SUNRISE aims to help address a persistent challenge in the Philippines where one in four youth is out of school. 

 

The program also supports the students’ holistic development through additional courses, career development orientation, and soft skills training to help strengthen their future employability. Meanwhile, their families also receive post-disaster support, individualized aid, and parent learning sessions on child development and quality family life.

 

A MOA signing ceremony was held in Cebu City to mark the continuation of the collaboration, graced by Sun Life Philippines Country Head and CEO JJ Moreno as well as the Sun Life Foundation leadership including President Joy Castillo, Vice President Aleister Cruz, and Executive Director Kristine Millete. Children of Asia was represented by its Country Director, Barbie Romeo-Guardiario, and Deputy Country Director, Andre Frossard.

 

“We believe that education is one of the most powerful foundations for a brighter future,” said Castillo. “With Project SUNRISE, our aim is to empower Filipino youth and enable them to remain in school, feel supported, and build a future filled with possibilities not just for themselves, but also their families and communities.”

 

“Project SUNRISE is about giving students from underprivileged backgrounds the support and confidence to keep moving forward, even when circumstances are difficult. This year, with the earthquake and typhoon affecting Cebu, that support has been especially meaningful,” said Romeo-Guardiario. “By helping our scholars stay in school and develop their potential, we hope they will build a better future for themselves and have the confidence and sense of responsibility to give back to their families and communities.”

 

As the philanthropic arm of Sun Life Philippines, the country’s first and longest-standing life insurance company, Sun Life Foundation supports initiatives that expand access to education, promote health and well-being, and promote environmental sustainability in communities across the country.

BAUS RUFO, CARLO OPLE, AND JAZ REYES SHARE CREATOR LESSONS ON BALANCING PASSION, PURPOSE, AND FINANCIAL SECURITY AT SUN LIFE’S FIRST-EVER CREATOR CAMP

Manila, Philippines (September 25, 2026) – What does it take to turn creativity into a sustainable career? For Filipino content creators Baus Rufo, Carlo Ople, and Jaz Reyes, the answer goes beyond views and followers. It starts with taking the first step, showing up consistently, and making intentional decisions that support both creative growth and financial well-being.  

 

During Sun Life Philippines’ first-ever creator camp, entitled “One Day to Day One,” the three creators shared lessons from their own journeys, offering emerging content creators practical advice on building meaningful content, overcoming self-doubt, and creating opportunities that last.  

 

Start Before You’re Ready 

 

For comedian, content creator, and event producer Baus Rufo, pursuing a creative career did not happen overnight. During his talk, he reflected on a career journey that took him from advertising leadership roles to building a life centered on comedy, content creation, and performance. 

  

Rather than waiting for the perfect opportunity, Rufo encouraged aspiring creators to take small, calculated steps toward their goals. He shared that meaningful change is often the result of constant learning, reinvention, and a willingness to “fail forward.” One of his most resonant reminders: “Done is better than good.” 

 

Rufo also spoke candidly about the realities of freelancing and creative work, from embracing uncertainty to continuously investing in oneself and nurturing trusted relationships. These lessons, he said, helped him build a career that allows him to be creative while achieving financial freedom. 

 

Consistency Beats Confidence 

  

For former sports broadcaster, host, and content creator Jaz Reyes, confidence is often misunderstood as a prerequisite to creating. In reality, she shared, most creators experience the same doubts before publishing their work. 

  

“We doubt ourselves. We overthink. We wonder if anyone will care. We still hit 'Post' anyway,” Reyes explained in her presentation about the messy process behind every piece of content. 

  

Drawing from her own experiences as a radio DJ, host, and creator, she encouraged aspiring influencers to focus less on perfection and more on progress. Among her key lessons were simple but powerful reminders: curiosity beats perfection, action creates momentum, and consistency beats confidence. 

  

Reyes emphasized that confidence is built through action, not waiting for the perfect moment or the perfect idea. As she put it, “Confidence comes from doing, not waiting to feel ready.” 

 

Turning Passion into Opportunity 

 

During a fireside chat, entrepreneur and content creator Carlo Ople joined Sun Life financial advisor and content creator Jacklord Esguerra to discuss how creators can build both influence and financial stability. 

  

For Esguerra, content creation started with a simple mission: making financial concepts easier to understand. Despite being told that insurance content wouldn't gain traction, he chose to focus on educating rather than selling. “People don't like being sold to. They want to be informed, inspired, and educated,” Esguerra shared. 

  

His early posts gained little attention, but he stayed consistent. Over time, audiences began discovering his content, sharing it with others, and reaching out for guidance. Today, content has become one of his most effective ways to educate and serve more Filipinos on their financial journey. 

  

Ople echoed the value of thinking long term. What started as a gaming blog while he was working in corporate eventually grew into multiple businesses built around content.  

  

Rather than immediately leaving his corporate career, Ople spent more than 17 years balancing work and content creation, proving that passion projects and financial security can grow side by side. “The more sources of revenue, the more sources of income, the better,” he said. 

  

Together, their message was clear: start small, create value consistently, and trust that meaningful opportunities often begin long before anyone notices.  

 

From "One Day" to Day One 

  

Despite their different backgrounds and creative paths, the speakers shared a remarkably similar message: success rarely begins with certainty. It begins with action. 

  

Whether it's publishing a first video, pursuing a long-held passion project, experimenting with a new format, or making smarter decisions for the future, creators don't need to wait until everything is perfect to begin. 

  

Through the lessons shared by Baus Rufo, Jaz Reyes, and Carlo Ople, attendees were reminded that meaningful careers are built one step at a time. The journey from "One Day" to "Day One" starts not with confidence or perfection, but with a willingness to start anyway.

Sun Life Foundation’s Sun Pera-Aralan wins Silver at 2026 Marketing Excellence Awards

MANILA, PH – (September 2026) – Sun Pera-Aralan, Sun Life Financial-Philippines Foundation, Inc.’s (Sun Life Foundation) flagship financial literacy program in collaboration with AHA! Behavioral Design, was recently recognized at the 2026 Marketing Excellence Awards with a Silver Award for Excellence in Financial Empowerment Marketing.

 

Launched in 2019, Sun Pera-Aralan aims to help lessen the debt crisis among public school teachers. The program uses insights from behavioral science, combining an innovative budgeting tool called Peso Sobre, cash flow management learning sessions, learning resources, and peer networks to help make better money management habits part of everyday practice. Through these efforts, the program aims to help teachers strengthen their financial health.

 

In 2025, Sun Pera-Aralan achieved its goal, reaching over 133,000 public school teachers across more than 2,300 schools in Metro Manila and CALABARZON. The program has also helped teachers build healthier financial habits, with 81% of Peso Sobre users reporting that they are able to stretch their budgets for the entire month and 90% reporting that they are able to save consistently.

 

Its impact can be seen in teachers such as Maria Elena of Muntinlupa City, who has been able to build her savings, and Sharon of Quezon City, who credits Sun Pera-Aralan for helping her develop financial discipline.

 

“All that we have accomplished in Sun Pera-Aralan ties back to a simple dream: to empower our public school teachers by making financial literacy practical, relevant, and accessible,” said Joy Castillo, President of Sun Life Foundation. “We are honored to receive this recognition and are inspired to continue our work in promoting financial wellness and security among our fellow Filipinos.”

 

“Sun Pera-Aralan shows that financial empowerment requires more than sharing knowledge. Change happens when programs are grounded in people’s lived realities and make healthier financial habits easier to do and continue,” said John Leinard Ramos, Principal and Chief Marketing Officer of AHA! Behavioral Design. “This is why, for us, behavior-centered solutions are so powerful: insights become practical action, and meaningful change can take hold and be sustained at scale.”

 

As Sun Pera-Aralan enters its final stages of implementation, its focus has shifted to preparing school communities to carry the program forward by equipping them with the tools, support systems, and ownership needed to sustain healthier financial habits after the program concludes.

 

As the philanthropic arm of Sun Life Philippines, the country’s first and longest-standing life insurance company, Sun Life Foundation helps uplift Filipino lives by supporting programs focused on health, education, and environmental sustainability.

Sun Life Strengthens Disaster Response to Mindanao Earthquake with CAD 100,000 Donation

MANILA, PH – (September 2026) – Canadian-based financial services company Sun Life recently donated CAD 100,000 (PHP 4.3 million) to support relief efforts following a magnitude 7.8 earthquake that struck Mindanao in early June.

 

The earthquake caused widespread damage, leaving many families displaced and with limited access to basic needs and services.

 

Of the total donation, CAD 50,000 aided Save the Children Philippines in providing food and essential household items to the most affected and vulnerable families, including women-headed households, Indigenous communities, and families with young children, seniors, and persons with disabilities. 

 

Over 300 families received food packages and essential household supplies sufficient for one month, sleeping bags and cooking supplies, hygiene kits, and portable solar-powered radios and lamps to help address their immediate needs as they recover. Around 1,530 individuals, including an estimated 383 children, were supported.

 

Meanwhile, CAD 50,000 supported the operations of the Philippine Red Cross through a partnership with the Canadian Red Cross. This donation enabled the organization to deliver food, water, medicines, and temporary shelters to heavily impacted areas in Mindanao.

 

In addition to Sun Life’s donation, Sun Life Financial-Philippines Foundation, Inc. (Sun Life Foundation), the philanthropic arm of Sun Life Philippines, also mobilized aid for affected communities in Sarangani province and General Santos City. 

 

Through Sun Life Foundation’s partnership with World Vision Philippines, Hope Kits containing essential non-food items, including sleeping mats, blankets, and mosquito nets were distributed to 400 affected families. Food packs were also distributed to 750 families through the partnership with ABS-CBN Foundation.

 

“Our hearts are with the families and communities affected by this devastating earthquake in Mindanao,” said JJ Moreno, Country Head and CEO of Sun Life Philippines. “Sun Life has walked alongside the Filipino people for over a century, and we stand in solidarity with them during this difficult time and remain committed to supporting their path to recovery.”

Sun Life’s SUN Fit and Well Demonstrates Lasting Impact on Filipinos’ Health Protection Journey

MANILA, PHILIPPINES (September 2026) – As more Filipinos take a longer-term view of their health and financial well-being, protection solutions that can support them through life’s uncertainties continue to play an important role. For Sun Life Philippines, this enduring need is reflected in SUN Fit and Well, its comprehensive health protection and life insurance plan, which continues to help Clients prepare for health-related challenges 10 years after its launch.

 

As of June 2026, more than 230,000 SUN Fit and Well policies have been sold, with over PHP 600 million in claims paid to Clients and their families.

 

Introduced in 2016, SUN Fit and Well was designed to help Clients prepare for health-related uncertainties through protection that supports different stages of the health journey, from prevention and diagnosis to treatment and recovery. A decade later, its continued sales momentum reflects how health protection has become an essential part of long-term financial planning, especially as more Filipinos recognize the financial impact that serious health challenges can have on individuals and families.

 

“For many Filipinos, health challenges are not only physically and emotionally difficult but can also bring significant financial strain,” said Daureen Andal, Chief Product Solutions Officer of Sun Life Philippines. “The continued demand for SUN Fit and Well affirms that Clients see the value of preparing ahead. More importantly, the claims we have paid over the years show how protection becomes tangible support when Clients and their families need it most.”

 

The plan’s performance also mirrors a broader shift in how Filipinos view health protection. The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 heightened awareness of the need to secure both health and finances, and demand for SUN Fit and Well began to gain momentum in the years that followed. This sustained relevance underscores the role of health protection not simply as a financial product, but as a way to help Clients preserve their financial security while focusing on recovery and well-being.

 

SUN Fit and Well’s holistic design gives Clients access to benefits that support different health needs, including coverage for covered critical illnesses, hospital income benefits, preventive wellness benefits, and financial support for recovery. By addressing both the medical and financial dimensions of health-related challenges, the plan continues to help Clients face life’s uncertainties with greater confidence.

 

“Health protection remains relevant because the need to care for ourselves and the people we love does not change,” Andal said. “As SUN Fit and Well continues to support more Filipinos, we remain committed to providing solutions that help Clients build a brighter future and prepare for life’s unexpected moments.”

MANILA, PH – September 2026 – Sun Life Philippines has earned four awards at the prestigious 22nd Philippine Quill Awards, underscoring its commitment to communications that put Clients first and give back to communities, especially as the company marked a meaningful milestone.

 

Recognized as the country's highest honor for business communication, the Philippine Quill Awards celebrate programs that meet global standards of excellence in communication management. Quill winners join a distinguished group of organizations and professionals recognized for setting the benchmark in strategic and impactful communications.

 

Sun Life's award-winning initiatives demonstrate how communications rooted in Client needs and community care can create meaningful value for Filipinos, employees, and society at large.

 

The Sun Life Secure Income Marketing Campaign earned recognition for making the idea of a secure income more relatable to Filipino Gen Zs and Millennials.
