Actor-model Leads Sunlife Tri-Team in Ironman 70.3 Triathlon

Sunlife of Canada (Philippines) Inc. has introduced its triathlon team leads by their endorser Piolo Pascual for tomorrow’s Ironman 70.3 Triathlon, this time it is not only securing insurance and financial services but also waving up the banner of its triathlon team.

The actor-model Pascual will involve in a two-loop, 56-mile course in the popular sporting event as he is the team’s designated cyclist in the male relay race.

This would be the first time for Pascual to join Ironman under the Sunlife banner.

The 37 year-old Pascual made biking as his bonding activity with his son Inigo, who is a Sunlife brand ambassador himself.

Pascual is the endorser of the Sunlife Philippines for 10 years.
