Success in business isn’t just about profits—it’s about perseverance, careful planning, and having the right partners to navigate life’s uncertainties. Sun Life Philippines brings these values to light in their latest short films, showcasing the inspiring journeys of two Filipina entrepreneurs: Lorna Otsuka and Framie Jose. Their stories, featured in Legacy and Resilience, highlight the power of determination and financial preparedness in achieving dreams.
Building a Legacy Through Passion
In Legacy, we meet Lorna Otsuka, the woman behind Hanakazu Restaurant in Muntinlupa City. More than just a dining establishment, Hanakazu represents her family’s dedication to excellence and their love for authentic Japanese cuisine. However, when an unforeseen challenge threatened the future of her business, Lorna had to make tough decisions to uphold its legacy.
With the support of Sun Life, she was able to secure additional income through her financial plans, ensuring that Hanakazu continued to thrive despite adversity. Her story is a testament to how smart financial planning can safeguard not just a business, but the dreams and efforts of an entire family.
Resilience in the Face of Hardship
Resilience introduces us to Framie Jose, owner of Hermanas Bakehub. Her life took an unexpected turn when she was diagnosed with endometrial cancer. Once skeptical about planning for illnesses, she quickly realized how crucial financial security is during challenging times.
Thanks to Sun Life, Framie was able to continue growing her business even as she faced her health battle. Much like baking, where success often comes after trial and error, her story reflects the strength needed to overcome setbacks and keep moving forward.
Empowering Filipino Entrepreneurs
Lorna and Framie’s journeys highlight Sun Life’s mission of helping Filipinos achieve financial security and healthier lives. Their stories are proof that with the right planning, passion, and perseverance, business owners can overcome challenges and build lasting success.
