Financial freedom can be defined in so many ways. It could
mean having money to buy your own home, to fund for your children’s education, to
travel to your dream destinations anytime you want, and eventually to enjoy
your retirement and have money and properties to bestow to the next generation.
This is want Sun Life Financial wants for each and every Filipino.
Sun Life recently held the Iloilo leg of their nationwide
campaign dubbed #LiveFreePH Movement. The caravan aims to create awareness and
encourage the Ilonggos to make long-term investments for their future and that
of their family.

Piolo Pascual, Sun Life’s ambassador for 7 years, led
the campaign. “It is best to have money in the bank and at the same time
invest in mutual funds or insurance policies. Even before I joined Sun Life, I
was already into long-term investments. I always encourage my son, Iñigo, to invest
even at a young age, and I am also imparting the same message to every
Filipino. There are a lot of investment options and there is always a policy
that will suit your needs,” says Piolo.
“To have financial freedom, first you need to learn how to do it.
It is important to have knowledge and interest. By watching and listening to
financial seminars, talks or shows, you will be able to enhance your knowledge
about investments. Next, talk to a financial adviser who will help you with your goals,” he adds.
Carla Gonzales, Customer Marketing Manager of Sun Life, agrees with Piolo. "Talking to a financial adviser is a crucial step to take towards financial freedom. You discuss together how much you can afford to pay, your financial goal and
when do you want to achieve it. The adviser will develop a plan around that.
“Investing is very affordable. With Sun Life, you can
already get a life insurance with an investment component for as low as 2,000
pesos a month. You can also invest in a mutual fund of your choice for only
5,000 pesos,” Gonzales said, citing the people’s impression that insurance
policies are expensive.
