Since 2017, Sun Life Cycle Ph has brought friends and families to days of cycling on safe closed roads and enjoying each other company. After a three-year hiatus, Sun Life finally brings back the Cycle Ph event last April 23, 2023, at Imus, Cavite. “The city will continuously promote and support the Sun Life Cycle PH, which includes the youngsters, for the benefit it provides, especially in the physical aspect,” said Imus City Mayor Alex Advincula.
Last week, a prequel activity was held at BGC where kids from ages 2 to 15 were given the opportunity to learn basic training and cycling etiquette at a Kids Bike Camp led by Camp Director, Coach Julian Valencia. Thirty bikes were donated by Sunrise Events to ensure participants have the right gear for their new lifelong hobby. Making the Bike Camp a more memorable experience was a visit by Sun Life Ambassador, Donny Pangilinan, where he encouraged the kids to pursue the benefits of a healthy and active life through cycling.
Last Sunday, as the rest of the world celebrates Earth Day, 1,000 participants from ages 2 to 67 years old will join the Sun Life Cycle Ph’s main event. Leading the pack is Pangilinan, along with celebrities and Sun Life co-ambassadors Piolo Pascual and Matteo Guidicelli. The event will feature a 60km Corporate Ride, a 45km Ride, and a 30km Ride. There are also 500-meter Kids’ Solo Rides and Rides with Parents. The kid-friendly biking paths will give a chance for families to bond.
“We know that cycling is a sport that has gotten more Filipinos interested, especially during the pandemic. So this is the perfect time to again come as one (cycling) community,” said Carla Gonzalez-Chong, Chief Client Experience & Marketing Officer. She added, “At Sun Life, when we talk about helping Filipinos achieve a brighter life, we’re not only referring to financial security but healthier lives as well. This is our purpose. Sun Life Cycle PH aligns with this because it’s an opportunity to help Filipinos pursue an active lifestyle in a fun and exciting way.”
