Manulife Philippines hosted its \u201cTime to MOVE \u2013 Manulife Longevity Symposium,\u201d a milestone event that brought together healthcare experts, industry thought leaders, financial advisors, customers, and partners to discuss the pressing challenge of living longer and better lives.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This symposium marked the launch of ManulifeMOVE, a comprehensive health program designed to encourage healthier habits and integrates preventive care, lifestyle guidance, and digital tools to support individuals at every stage of life. It also provides coverage that supports early diagnosis, recovery, and protection beyond government-provided health insurance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key findings from the Manulife Asia Care Survey 2025, a comprehensive study that explores Filipinos\u2019 perspectives, readiness and concerns about aging and longevity, were the core concepts of the symposium. The survey also revealed a shift in mindset: Filipinos are increasingly focused on the quality of life they want to experience as they age, rather than simply extending their lifespan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The #FYP: Future-proofing Young Pinoys \u2013 Examining Longevity Perspectives, Sentiments, and Aspiration of Millennials and Gen Zs study was also launched during the event. The findings of this study highlight how younger generations of Filipinos are prioritizing purpose and financial independence rather than living a longer life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs Filipinos redefine what it means to live longer and better, we at Manulife are committed to helping them achieve this vision with trusted guidance and financial tools to help them make informed decisions about their future,\u201d said Rahul Hora, president and chief executive officer at Manulife Philippines. \u201cThis Longevity Symposium underscores our dedication to equipping Filipinos with relevant expert insights, comprehensive solutions and financial strategies that empower them to gain confidence and enjoy a healthier, more rewarding life as they grow older.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The symposium featured keynote sessions such as Preventive Heath Innovation where leading experts Dr. Jeremy Lim (CEO and co-founder, AMII), Dr. Natha Kumar (head of Medical Affair, Guardant Health), and Dr. Beverly Ho (chief health officer, Ayala Health) showcased cutting-edge health solutions, including methods for prevention, diagnosis, monitoring, and management of pressing health challenges. There was also the session on the Future of Retirement where Aira Gaspar (president and chief executive officer, Manulife Investments Philippines), and Elvin Tharm (head of retirement, Manulife Asia) gave a fast-paced presentation focused on busting the most common myths about retirement readiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manulife\u2019s global head of Sustainability and Climate Performance Management and managing director, head of ESG \u2013 General Account Ariel Kangasniemi also joined Manulife Philippines brand ambassador Erwan Heussaff in exploring how sustainability, equity, and health intersect to support longer, better lives. They highlighted Manulife\u2019s nature-based investments — from forest restoration to carbon sequestration — as key drivers of climate resilience and community longevity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The launch of ManulifeMOVE brought together the right proposition, products, platforms, and partners to improve customer\u2019s well-being at every stage. It was marked with breakout sessions designed to translate insights into action. Participants engaged in four themed experiences\u2014Live, Flex, Breathe, and Think\u2014 each offering practical guidance on nutrition, fitness, mental well-being, and brain health. These sessions highlighted sustainable eating practices, physical exercises that help people stay strong as they age, stress management, and cognitive health tips, providing attendees with actionable advice that they could immediately incorporate into their daily routines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The symposium also served as a springboard for broader conversations about the role of private-public partnerships in shaping a healthier future for Filipinos. Discussions emphasized how strategic investments and institutional support can significantly contribute to helping individuals and communities prepare for the realities of longer lifespans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manulife\u2019s Time to MOVE\u201d symposium marks a pivotal moment in the company\u2019s efforts to champion healthier and more confident living in an aging Philippines. By bringing together diverse voices and actionable insights, Manulife Philippines reinforces its commitment to supporting Filipinos at every stage of life and encouraging them to live longer and better, with health, purpose, and financial security at the core.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
