Leading international financial services group brand ambassadors Sarah Geronimo and James Reid created special moments with some of the company’s loyal customers as it celebrates its 110th anniversary in the Philippines.
The two Kapamilya stars and Viva artists are joining in Manulife’s journey of gratitude and giving by surprising loyal policyholders captured in a digital film available on the company’s Facebook page.
Sarah surprised Ronald, a businessman with an advocacy of promoting literacy by building container van libraries across the country.
“I was inspired by Ronald who has made it his mission to give back to those in need. It is an honor to be given the opportunity to let him know how much his efforts are appreciated,” said Sarah.
Meanwhile, James delivered a gift to Melanie and Richard, a couple who never had a chance to go on a honeymoon because they had to prioritize medical treatments for their firstborn.
“There is no greater love than a parent’s, and this is why I find Manulife’s gift for Melanie and Richard especially meaningful. It recognizes the great sacrifices parents make for their children,” shared James.
Meanwhile, another celebrity ambassador Richard Yap, presented a gift to the Camillan Sisters of Marikina, who run a school for children with special needs. He also surprises Mr. de Dios, an 88-year-old policyholder, who has been a client since the 1970s and ensured that his children are protected with Manulife policies as well.
“Being a father, I empathize with the Camillan Sisters’ desire to create a nurturing environment for the children under their care,” said Richard. “I also see myself in Mr. De Dios, who spent his whole life ensuring his children will have secure futures. I am happy to have been invited to take part in this giving activity by Manulife.”
Following these surprises by Sarah, James and Richard, Manulife Phillipines will bring more gifts to policyholders in the coming days, until they have delivered “110 Thank Yous.”
