SUN LIFE PROSPERITY CARD LAUNCHED A NEW VARIANT IN A LOWER DENOMINATION

Three years ago, I invest at the Sun Life Prosperity Card with the amount of P5,000 and continue increasing and very happy of the outcome for my future. Since I want to increase my investment and make it easy for me, I enroll it thru auto-debit in my BDO account. In keeping with efforts to make in mutual funds even more accessible to Filipinos, Sun Life Asset Management Company, Inc. (SLAMCI), their Sun Life Prosperity Card lower it to P1,000. More affordable and it can be purchased for personal use or as a gift to loved ones.

Sun Life Asset Management Compay, Inc. (SLAMCI) is one of the leading asset management companies in the country with almost P55 billion in Assets Under Management (AUM) and currently manages 15 mutual funds collectively called the “Sun Life Prosperity Funds”. Also held their first Market Outlook 2019 at the Discovery Primea in Makati. During the Market Outlook presscon reveals that Philippines got a credit upgrade of BBB+ and it is now the opportunity to invest. Just the right time for the offer of the Sun Life Prosperity Card.

“The Sun Life Prosperity Card is a lasting and precious gift option ideal for special occassions such as birthdays, baptisms, graduations, and weddings. It enables the recipient to have his own starter mutual fund with a value that potentially appreciates over time,” said SLAMCI President Valerie Pama.

While Sun Life Financial – Philippines Chief Investment Officer, Michael Enriquez discussed the economic updates, the current status of the Philippine Market, what the Sun Life clients can look forward from their products to their services and many more. In summary of Mr. Enriques updates that inflation improves paving the way for more rate cuts and dollar to peso, no change, 53.20 by year-end 2019 and with a slight weak bias. Domestically the election-related spending should provide some upside to GDP but consumption bounce will drive growth as inflation fades but if we can see a recession in US, we see this as a shallow one and short-lived.

Sun Life Prosperity Card is also available in P5,000 denomination and you can purchase and activate your Prosperity Card through any of the following: 1) Sun Life Client Centers – Binondo, Bonifacio Global City, Greenhills, Makati, Quezon City, Cebu, Davao & Iloilo. 2) Sun Life Mutual Fund Advisor.

Between Maybes the first ever team up of Gerald Anderson and Julia Barretto

Presscon of Between Maybes

Why should I watch the movie, Between Maybes? Aside that Gerald Anderson is my favorite actor or Japan is my favorite destination. I am very excited to see for the first time on the big screen that Gerald Anderson is paired up with Julia Barretto. Also I can relate to the story since I love to travel and I experienced the role of Julia Barreto.

The stars of Between Maybes, Julia Barretto and Gerald Anderson

In Between Maybes, the story about two people who found peace in the most unlikeliest places: in each other’s company. The two actors underwent through a series of workshops with Laxamana and shot the majority of the film on location in Japan during the bloom of the Sakura trees. Although Saga is a quiet prefecture with a small population, the serene nature of the place lends another layer to the story of Hazel and Louie. Filmmaker Jason Paul Laxamana wanted to create a story that reflected the serenity and calm nature of the location.

To give you a little glimpse of Between Maybes, Julia Barretto plays Hazel, an actress experiencing troubles in her career and not having control of her life. Feeling lost and wanting to escape, she books a random flight and eventually ends up in the secluded prefecture of Saga, Japan. There she finds an unexpected confidante in Louie (Gerald Anderson), who isolated himself after experiencing heartbreak from his family. The two develop a functional relationship. Hazel asks Louie to check on her as she’s not used to being on her own. While Louie finds Hazel’s company and noise amusing, as it’s a break from his simple world lacking human connection. Amidst the silence and isolation, Hazel and Louie find comfort in each other as they both needed it at that certain point in their lives. But knowing how far apart their worlds are, they can only hold on to the belief that some encounters are special because of how fleeting they are.

During the presscon both Anderson and Barretto give admiration to each other for their roles that they are portraying and they both had a profound connection to their characters. Julia’s recent trip to South America was a means to take a step back and recalibrate from her busy schedule while Gerald felt that isolation often feels like a good choice just to get away from his life, even if only for a while. The theme song is the brand new version of Rico Blanco’s hit song “Your Universe” is created specifically for the film by Acel, the original singer of Moonstar88.

With Julia Barretto

The movie will open in cinema nationwide starting May 15, just after election and the movie Avengers. This film offers to the audiences seeking for an escape might need a dose of refreshing take on fleeting romances and little moments that linger forever and  maybe it’s time to experience the beauty of Between Maybes. Directed by Jason Paul Laxamana, produced by Black Sheep Productions as their theatrical debut and is distributed by Star Cinema.

All Filipino should unite of restoring vaccine confidence and safeguarding one’s health

Everyone of us should take part to help convincing the public to trust in vaccination. I can say that because of vaccination I’m still alive and throughout history, the development of vaccines has played a valuable role in protecting people and controlling potentially deadly infectious diseases like measles, polio, small pox, and diphtheria among others.

However, recent issues on vaccine hesitancy and a lack of awareness on the benefits of proper vaccination led to a decline in vaccine uptake. One result is the recent outbreak of measles in the country, with 28,362 measles cases having been reported since January this year, and 389 deaths caused by vaccine-preventable diseases.
