July 10, 2010 Sun Life: It's Time Advocacy Sofitel Philippine Plaza (sorry if there are inconsistencies, i'll review it tomorrow rather later. am so sleepy....enjoy reading!) The moment I received the email that there'll be a presscon for Sun Life introducing Piolo and his new advocacy. I immediately contacted the person in charge - many thanks Sun Life and Ms Tara :) for allowing us to attend the presscon. We arrived a little bit earlier. They said the presscon will start at 4:30pm. As we started eating and chatting, then Piolo arrived. There was a small introduction on what was the advocacy is all about. Later on, the TVC was shown (btw, while waiting, the BTS of the TVC was presented too). Formally, Sun Life announced the :It's Time dvocacy. It's basically more of promoting financial literacy and how Filipinos will prepare for their future.   An opportunity of 10-minute face-to-face question and answer was held. As a blogger, I don't want to pressure him anym...

Piolo: A Financial Monologue There is no fool’s gold beneath the surface of Piolo’s beliefs and values. Behind the disarmingly handsome face is a man who knows how to protect his dreams and priorities. In between the hectic schedule are charity works, sports, and his undying love for family. The same can be said on how he handles his finances – smart, delicate, and purposeful. And as the latest addition to Sun Life Financial’s “It’s Time!” financial literacy advocacy, he is ready to impart the message of a bright and stable future. On Money My mother showed me the best attitude towards money, which is humility. She also taught me to use money to do good things. My faith also gave me a great foothold on my finances. Much has been given to me, and it is only right that I give something in return. On Financial Planning You have to know what is important to you, and starting early is the way to go. In fact, the life insurance I got for my son Iñigo has already matured. Now his future is se...
