This milestone initiative underscores Manulife’s deepening commitment to the longevity movement, empowering individuals to achieve holistic well-being through proactive health management, financial readiness, and purposeful living. The event also marked the official launch of ManulifeMOVE, a comprehensive health and wellness program designed to promote healthier habits and long-term wellness through science-backed insights and practical lifestyle choices.
Redefining Longevity: From Lifespan to Healthspan
Central to the symposium were new insights from the Manulife Asia Care Survey 2025, which revealed that Filipinos are shifting their focus from merely extending lifespan to improving overall quality of life. The study highlights that health, purpose, and financial independence are now key priorities across all age groups, especially among younger generations.
Complementing this was the launch of the “#FYP: Future-Proofing Young Pinoys” study, which explored how Millennials and Gen Zs view longevity, financial freedom, and wellness. The research found that today’s young professionals value balance, mental health, and financial security as vital components of a meaningful, sustainable life.
“As Filipinos redefine what it means to live longer and better, we at Manulife are committed to helping them achieve this vision,” said Rahul Hora, President and CEO of Manulife Philippines. “Through initiatives like the Longevity Symposium, we aim to provide relevant tools, expert insights, and financial strategies that empower Filipinos to live with confidence and enjoy a healthier, more rewarding life.”
Cross-Sector Collaboration: Integrating Health, Finance, and Purpose
The “Time to MOVE” symposium featured a dynamic lineup of keynotes and interactive panels that bridged healthcare innovation, sustainable living, and financial preparedness.
Among the highlights:
Preventive Health Innovation: Experts such as Dr. Jeremy Lim (AMILI), Dr. Natha Kumar (Guardant Health), and Dr. Beverly Ho (Ayala Health) presented groundbreaking approaches in prevention, diagnosis, and health management.
The Future of Retirement: Aira Gaspar (Manulife Investments Philippines) and Elvin Tharm (Manulife Asia) debunked common retirement myths and discussed strategies for long-term financial resilience.
Sustainability and Longevity: Ariel Kangasniemi, Manulife’s Global Head of Sustainability, joined brand ambassador Erwan Heussaff to highlight how sustainable practices and investments—such as forest restoration and carbon sequestration—foster climate resilience and community well-being.
“It doesn’t take drastic changes to build a better future,” Kangasniemi shared. “Consistent small steps—like eating well, sleeping better, and staying active—can significantly improve our long-term health and quality of life.”
Introducing ManulifeMOVE: A Holistic Health Experience
At the heart of the event was the launch of ManulifeMOVE, an all-in-one health and wellness platform that integrates preventive care, lifestyle guidance, and digital tools to support Filipinos at every stage of life.
Key features include:
Health Empowerment: Access to expert insights on preventive care and wellness education.
Partnership-Driven Benefits: Exclusive offers and discounts on diagnostics, treatments, and recovery services from partner institutions.
Digital Health Experience: The MOVE section in the Manulife app serves as a gateway to health solutions and personalized wellness journeys.
Comprehensive Health Plans: Coverage that supports early diagnosis, recovery, and protection beyond government-provided health insurance.
The symposium also featured hands-on wellness sessions—Live, Flex, Breathe, and Think—that encouraged participants to apply practical wellness strategies for nutrition, fitness, mental health, and cognitive development.
Manulife ambassador Anne Curtis reflected on the campaign’s personal significance:
“As a mom, I’ve realized the importance of staying healthy for myself and my family. Time to MOVE is a reminder that caring for our bodies and minds is one of the best investments we can make for a longer, better life.”
Building a Healthier, Longer-Living Philippines
The symposium closed with a powerful message on the importance of collaboration between the private and public sectors in promoting national longevity. Through strategic partnerships, preventive health initiatives, and innovative financial products, Manulife Philippines continues to pave the way toward a healthier, more future-ready nation.
“Filipinos are beginning to view their future through a new lens—one that values independence, financial stability, and overall quality of life,” Hora added. “At Manulife, we’re committed to turning these aspirations into action by helping every Filipino plan confidently, live meaningfully, and secure the future they envision.”
