Partners with Richard Yap and Sarah Geronimo to inspire Filipinos to make their dreams come true

Manila, Philippines – Manulife Philippines launched “Start Your Story,” a new brand campaign that aims to encourage Filipinos to take the first step in making their dreams come true.

“For the past 108 years, Manulife has helped thousands of Filipinos secure their futures and achieve their financial goals,” said Ryan Charland, Manulife Philippines President and CEO. “Through this campaign, we reinforce our commitment to our customers and to remind them that no matter what they aim to do in life, Manulife is here to help them start their stories.”

Two of the Philippines’ most established celebrities, actor Richard Yap and actress/singer Sarah Geronimo, are Manulife’s brand ambassadors for this campaign. Richard has been the company’s brand ambassador for over two years now, while this is Sarah’s first campaign with Manulife.

“We’re very happy to have Richard and Sarah as our brand ambassadors, as they have both been Manulife customers for several years,” said Charland. “They are wonderful examples of Filipinos who found success when they started their stories and are now enjoying the fruits of that success.”

“When I signed my first Manulife policy in 1992, I never imagined I would one day be their brand ambassador. Over the years, Manulife has helped me plan for my family’s future, so I can rest assured that our hopes and dreams for our children can become reality,” said Richard.

“I am honored to be chosen by Manulife to be their newest brand ambassador,” said Sarah. “I’ve been very lucky to have started my own story early in life. At this point, I feel that it’s my turn to inspire others to start their own stories — something that I have in common with Manulife, and this is why this campaign is important to me.”
