Beauty and wellness are sometimes the least priority of other Moms who stayed in the house and be a plain housewives and even some work from home moms. But since the economy is opening now and some opted to went outside to feel the environment. Pandemic or not, staying beautiful and maintaining good well-being is what most of us are yearning for now and it is on the list of every Filipino.

How long have I been covering the SunPIOLOgy events? I really can't remember but there's one thing I'm sure I get to picture every event its ambassador, Piolo Pascual. This year, Sun Life Philippines together with its long-time ambassador Piolo are once again joining hands for SunPIOLOgy, a sporting event that aims to encourage more Filipinos to live healthier lives.



Now on its 11th year, the event carries the theme “SunPIOLOgy Xone” and will feature the following highlights: Sun Life Virtual Run, Sun Life Cycle PH, and Sun Life Resolution Run.



“Sun Life aims to offer Filipinos more avenues to pursue their health goals. With SunPIOLOgy, we are able to make the pursuit fun and engaging through a variety of sporting events, while the charity component makes it more meaningful and memorable,” Sun Life Chief Marketing Officer Mylene Lopa said. “We are thankful that as we mark 11 years of SunPIOLOgy, we continue to grow our community and effectively promote the importance of living healthier lives.”



Sun Life Virtual Run: Run anytime, anywhere A new event this year, the Sun Life Virtual Run is a long-distance race that participants may complete anytime, anywhere. Participants from different parts of the country may challenge themselves to complete an accumulated distance of 50 or 125 kilometers which can be spread over 30 days. This way, runners can pace themselves and freely strategize in accomplishing their target distance within the prescribed period. Progress is tracked using a GPS watch, a fitness band, a running app on a smartphone, or by taking a photo of the progress on the treadmill and submitting it via www.takbo.ph.

Also hosted by Sun Life in select Asian countries, increasing awareness in diabetes prevention and management is one of the company’s advocacies that is especially crucial in the Philippines, as the disease has been declared as an epidemic in the country.

It's July once more and it's Buddy Run again. It is one of the runs that my family is waiting for every year, because this is the only time that we're bonding in a fun run.



My kids really enjoyed it every year, even my eldest wants to try the 10km already. But this year it's a no run moment, because of so much blessings from above, "the rain". We just joined the warm up, still we weren't able to join the run because the fact that it's raining and we don't want to get wet that much, plus it's that early in the morning.

The 11th Fit & Fun Wellness Buddy Run kicked off at the parade grounds of Camp Aguinaldo in Quezon City with different types of running pairs, parents and kids, siblings, lolos and their apos, loved ones, officemates, best friends, even neighbors-competing in the 5K and 10K races.
"We are happy to provide an opportunity for people to start their wellness journey in a fun and one-of-a-kind event with their partners. After all, getting fit and choosing the healthier lifestyle is more worthwhile when shared with a buddy," said Jody Gadia, Robinsons Supermarket General Manager.

Presented by Robinsons Supermarket, the 11th Fit and Fun Wellness Buddy Run 5K race offered a top prize of a trip for 2 to Siargao with 3 days/2 nights hotel accommodation while 2nd and 3rd placers get Php8,000.00 worth of Robinsons gift certificates. For 10k race podium finishers, the top prize includes a trip for 2 to Hong Kong with 3 days/2 nights hotel accommodation while 2nd and 3rd placers get Php15,000.00 worth of Robinsons Gift Certificates. Unfortunately and because of the heavy rain, equipment used during the run were shut off to avoid any accidents. Meaning to equipment to capture the time, it is just all fun run under the rain.

After crossing the finish line with their buddies and celebrating fitness in a fun and exciting way, most of the participants also enjoyed exciting activity booths and took home big grocery loot bags that have been the trademark of the Fit & Fun Wellness Buddy Run through the years.

Yah, we enjoyed the booths specially the purefoods booth because of the hotdog and the other like tocino, the drinks and the oatmeal.

The loot bags contained lots of freebies from Nestle, Johnson & Johnson, Wyeth Nutrition, Abbott Nutrition, Fonterra and Unilab.

Still, Robinsons give out the loot bags even to those who did not run. This is a very generous event. Though the rain did not stop, but we end up with a smile going home because of the freebies that we got.












The fun run is in line with Robinsons Supermarket's wellness commitment to continuously encourage more people to choose and live healthier lifestyles.




Hopefully by next year we will join again this run on their 12th year and we can also run. I love seeing my boys enjoying every moment with us.
