Sun Life Supports Cebu Business Month

In line with its vision of a brighter Philippines where every Filipino enjoys financial freedom, Sun Life of Canada (Philippines), Inc. is once again supporting “Cebu Business Month,” the flagship project of the Cebu Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCCI) which aims to inspire, promote, and grow Cebu business.

“Local businesses boost the economy in many ways – from increasing employment to making use of locally-produced goods. And when the economy is doing well, then there are more opportunities for Filipinos to take part in the country’s growth story when they invest their hard-earned money,” said Sun Life Sales Territory Head for Manila 1 and Visayas Armand Santos. “This is why Sun Life not only supports local businesses, but also champions financial literacy – because it is when Filipinos know how to manage their money that they are able to build their brighter future.”

Happening this June, the “Cebu Business Month” activities that Sun Life will be supporting are the Business-in-Golf Tournament, 4th Run for the Rivers, Entrepreneurship Technology & Innovation Expo, and the Grand Chamber Awards Night.

According to Santos, Sun Life will also do its part in helping further boost Cebu business. “We are set to open more sales offices here in Cebu, and are actively inviting Cebuanos to explore becoming a financial advisor as their very own business, so to speak” he shared. “Our financial literacy initiatives will also continue so that we could help more Cebuanos better understand how to manage their money and ultimately achieve financial freedom.”

Sun Life New Business Manager Pete Gonzales echoed Santos’ sentiments, expressing optimism about the bright prospects in Cebu this 2016. “We have seen more Cebuanos joining us as financial advisors. The growth in our manpower extended our reach in the area and has contributed in helping us get more people to start their journeys towards a brighter future,” he said.
