Sun Life Financial's 4th Sinag Award for financial literacy digital journalism has found new advocates for helping the Filipino be inspired to be financially responsible towards the brighter future. We've waiting for this and we're happy that Sun Life Financial is very active in spreading the news and sharing information to better understand why is it important to learn how to be financially secured.
The contest was launched last October 27 and then the judging and awarding took place here at Fairmont Makati last night of December 6, 2017.
My wife Lace joined the contest, and she won the grand prize last 2015, it was her first time to join and because of that I've learned more about Sun Life Financial's products and also its benefit. It was 3-4 years with Sun Life and whenever there's a new product coming out, we make sure to learn and understand if we need it or not, but I've observed that Sun Life's products are getting better and more interesting and mostly targeted now for the millennials.
THANKSGIVING FOR THE MEDIA
The event last night was also a Thanksgiving event for the media. We've attend, covered and also supported Sun Life Financial for years and we're very thankful that they've awarded us media and bloggers a one year insurance that we can use for 2018. They know how we work and how we are exposed to the outside world, because we media and bloggers always travel around to cover a story
and its better to be insured so that whatever happen to us will not give any burden to a family that we left.
Thank you Sun Life!
Its my 2nd year to received this awesome gift.
