#FitnessPH - Over 2,000 Filipinos Embrace Wellness at Home Credit PH’s First Fun Run—Takbo #ParaSaLife
In a vibrant celebration of health and wellness, over 2,000 runners gathered at Parqal in Aseana City for Home Credit Philippines' inaugural fun run, Takbo #ParaSaLife. Organized by WeKenRun, this event featured 1K, 3K, 5K, and 10K categories, making it accessible to runners of all fitness levels and reinforcing Home Credit's commitment to holistic support for Filipinos.
A Step Towards a Healthier Lifestyle
Home Credit Philippines (HCPH), the country's leading consumer finance company, is known for its mission to support Filipinos not just financially, but holistically. This fun run is a testament to that mission, encouraging physical and mental well-being among participants. The event saw a diverse group of runners, from first-timers to seasoned enthusiasts, all united by a shared commitment to health.
A Community Effort
The event was graced by notable personalities, including Lester Cruz, CEO of Singlife Philippines, and employees from Boltech and SM. Valued partners like Xiaomi, Park Access, and Singlife also joined the race, showing their support for Home Credit’s drive for healthier lifestyles.
Championing Holistic Wellness
“According to the World Health Organization (WHO), almost 38% of Filipinos are physically inactive, putting them at risk for lifestyle-related diseases. As the Filipinos’ trusted ally, not just in financial inclusion but in overall well-being, Home Credit is committed to encouraging communities to embrace a healthier lifestyle," said Petr Lukosz, HCPH Chief CRM Officer and 2x Ironman Philippines Champion.
Seeing people of all ages and backgrounds come together for this run was truly inspiring. At Home Credit, wellness is seen as an essential part of living a fulfilling life. Takbo #ParaSaLife is more than just a race—it’s a movement that aims to continue beyond today, with hopes of becoming an annual tradition to encourage more people to prioritize their health.
Exciting Rewards and a Successful Turnout
Participants received running shirts, race bibs, and loot bags from event partners, and finisher medals will be shipped to them. Podium finishers in the 10K, 5K, and 3K categories took home exciting cash prizes, including a ₱10,000 grand prize for the fastest runner in the 10K distance. Additional prizes included gift certificates for ON Running Shoes and Suunto, Park Access vouchers, and smart home gadgets from Xiaomi. Podium finishers also received insurance vouchers from Singlife.
Joma Unabia, a first-time fun run participant and 10K finisher, shared his excitement: “This was my first time joining a fun run, and I never imagined I could complete the 10K category—but I did! It was such an incredible experience. Thanks to Home Credit, I got to challenge myself and achieve something I never thought possible. This event has inspired me to stay active, set bigger fitness goals, and make running a part of my lifestyle. I hope to join again next year and push myself even further!”
With the success of Takbo #ParaSaLife, Home Credit Philippines is already gearing up for next year’s edition, promising an even bigger, better, and more exciting event. As WHO data highlights that nearly 40% of Filipinos remain physically inactive, initiatives like this serve as a vital reminder that small steps lead to big changes. Beyond financial empowerment, Home Credit remains committed to championing holistic well-being, ensuring that every Filipino can live their best, healthiest life—one run at a time.
This event would not have been possible without the support of Home Credit’s valued partners—WeKenRun, Aseana City, Parqal, Sip (Hydration Partner) and Sip Plus (Electrolytes), Singlife, Surge Lifestyle, Suunto, Xiaomi Philippines, Park Access (Official Nike Store Partner), Skintech, Dole, Silka, Corbridge, Oishi—who share the same commitment to promoting health and well-being.
