Bright choices from your favorite stars

Sun Life’s brand ambassadors—versatile leading man Piolo Pascual, multi-talented couple Sarah Geronimo and Matteo Guidicelli, and rising star Donny Pangilinan—are not just the faces of the
campaign; they are living examples of how bright choices can lead to winning in the game of life.

Each of them shared their unique approach to making important life decisions, emphasizing the importance of having a trusted partner to guide them along the way.

Piolo highlights the importance of being strategic and practical, especially when it comes to investments. “Before I dive into any business opportunity, I make sure to consult with experts in the field. It’s about being aware of the risks and knowing how to mitigate them. That’s why I always have my sister, Ate Chiqui, who’s also a Sun Life financial advisor, as my go-to person for advice,” Piolo shares.

His commitment to holistic health is another bright choice that ensures he can enjoy the fruits of his labor with his loved ones.

For Matteo and Sarah, making bright choices is a team effort. Matteo emphasizes the importance of gathering as much information as possible and consulting with experts before making any major decisions. 

“It’s crucial to talk things out, especially with my wife, Sarah, because our decisions affect both of us. Having a bright partner like her, and like Sun Life, is invaluable,” says Matteo.

Sarah adds that her decision-making process involves prayer, reflection, and listening to her loved ones. “Once you feel in your gut that it’s the right choice, you just have to trust yourself and take that leap,” she advises.

Donny, on the other hand, credits his parents for being his trusted advisors. “For business, I usually go to my dad, and for career-related decisions, I consult my mom. They’ve been in the industry longer than I have, so their advice is something I really value,” Donny explains. His recent decision to become a film producer for the movie “Good Game” is one such bright choice that brought him both personal and professional fulfillment.
