In a bold initiative to foster health and wellness within the community, Home Credit Philippines (HCPH), a leading consumer finance company, is set to host its inaugural fun run, Takbo #ParaSaLife. Scheduled for February 16 at Parqal in Aseana City, this event aims to kick off the year by encouraging Filipinos to engage in physical activity and promote a healthier lifestyle.
Partnering with WeKenRun—a local running group led by renowned marathon coach Ken Mendiola—Takbo #ParaSaLife offers various race categories suitable for participants of all fitness levels. With options ranging from 1K to 10K, the event is designed to cater not just to seasoned runners but also those new to jogging or walking.
Sheila Paul, Chief Marketing Officer of HCPH, emphasized the company’s broader commitment: “At Home Credit, we strive to empower Filipinos not only through financial services but also by promoting holistic well-being. This fun run represents our dedication to helping individuals lead more fulfilling lives physically and mentally.”
The initiative aligns with HCPH’s goal of fostering community ties while encouraging healthier lifestyles. The Takbo event welcomes everyone—employees of HCPH along with their families and friends—as well as fitness enthusiasts eager for a challenge. Registration fees vary based on distance: PhP500 for the 1K category up to PhP1,200 for the challenging 10K run.
Each participant will receive exciting perks such as an official event shirt, finisher’s medal, loot bag filled with goodies, and bib holder based on their chosen distance. More than just a running event; Takbo #ParaSaLife is about cultivating community spirit and mutual support in achieving personal health goals.
Paul hopes that participants will take away valuable lessons that encourage them towards maintaining long-term healthy habits. Additionally, attractive cash prizes await podium finishers across various categories; top winners will earn significant rewards including PhP10,000 for first place in the 10K race.
With recent statistics from the World Health Organization (WHO) revealing alarming rates of physical inactivity worldwide—in particular within the Philippines where nearly 40% are affected—events like Takbo #ParaSaLife are timely interventions aimed at reversing these trends.
