Sun Life Shares Heartwarming Stories through Sun Shorts 2

There’s nothing more touching than sharing significant human experience. These are stories about one’s triumphs, the journey to success, stories about love, family and friends as well as life’s lessons. We always get inspiration and be able to learn a thing or two in every story that we relate, hear or share. Sun Life recognizes this and they’re recently able to come up with Sun Shorts.

Sun Shorts are Sun Life’s collection of short films that depicts love, hope and commitment inspired by stories of Sun Life’s very own clients. The campaign was launched back in as early as 2012 and it created astounding positive feedback among consumers as it sends touching messages which had inspired everyone who’s seen them. Sun Life Inc. decided to come up with another series this year. 

Media and bloggers were given a special preview of the three short films during its launch alongside Sun Life’s celebration of its Financial Independence Month this June. Sun Life’s brand ambassadors Ms. Charo Santos-Concio, Judy Ann Santos-Agoncillo, Piolo Pascual and Matteo Guidicelli also graced the said affair to formally introduce Sun Shorts 2.
