What if your insurance policy could unlock amazing experiences for you and your friends? That’s exactly how three friends ended up having the time of their lives at NIKI’s Buzz World Tour in Manila, watching from Sun Life’s exclusive Premier Suite at the SM Mall of Asia Arena. Angelika Lola, Alliah Sta Ana, and Kyla Gatapia scored tickets to the sold-out show thanks to Sun Life’s raffle promo for advisors, and they got to sing their hearts out to NIKI hits like “Oceans & Engines”, “La La Lost You”, and “Backburner”.
For Sun Life, living life to the fullest is more than just planning for the future, it’s about having fun in the present, too. As part of its commitment to giving back to its valued clients, Sun Life holds regular raffle contests offering experiences like exclusive concert tickets.
When Angelika, a 27-year-old Sun Life advisor, joined the raffle in the hopes of snagging coveted seats at Sun Life’s exclusive Premier Suite for NIKI’s Buzz World Tour, she wasn’t expecting much.
“Super nagulat talaga ako kasi hindi ko siya inexpect! Every time na may ganitong activities si Sun Life, I make sure na engaged ako,” Angelika told 8List.ph. The win was a pleasant surprise, especially after her attempts to score tickets to previous promos for Maroon 5 and Pops Fernandez and Martin Nievera’s “Always & Forever” concert.
Angelika shared the special experience with her client of five years, Alliah, and a friend, Kyla.
“Gusto ko talaga yung initiative kasi it’s very helpful for us. More than talking about Sun Life, about the plans, about the importance of financial planning, at least with this kind of initiative, makikilala namin yung client on a deeper level kasi magkakaron kayo ng bonding na hindi niyo naman typically gagawin na related to Sun Life. It’s a whole new thing. It’s a concert, after all,” said Angelika.
When asked what the trio was most excited about that night, they couldn’t wait for two things: Seeing NIKI rock the stage and experiencing Sun Life’s Premier Suite at SM MOA Arena. And who could blame them? The third-floor suite provided the perfect setting for a memorable night.
The suite offered a luxurious escape, complete with a mini-bar, private restroom, and a spacious lounge area perfect for relaxing. But the real highlight was the viewing deck, where plush seats provided an unobstructed view of the stage. It had everything the three friends needed to relax and enjoy the show.
The Sun Life winners also enjoyed dedicated butler service throughout the event – talk about the complete VIP treatment!
For Alliah, the NIKI concert was more than just a fun night out; it was a testament to the support she’s received from Sun Life, her Partner for Life. The 24-year-old entrepreneur and founder of women’s clothing line Dominique and Co. says Sun Life has helped her prioritize present enjoyment and future security.
“Alam kong protected ako,” she explained to 8List.ph. “Medyo drastic yung growth ng negosyo and ng buhay namin. I feel like nilagay ko sa tamang basket yung pera ko nung mga first stages of earning, I never splurged on material things and ang una kong kinuha ay insurance. Protection lalo na sa family knowing na kahit anong mangyari, may makukuha sila.”
The young entrepreneur also credits her Sun Life advisor, Angelika, for financial guidance: “Aside from being an entrepreneur, I’m also a breadwinner. Laging sinasabi sakin ni [Angelika], whatever happens in my business at least secured yung maiiwan ko and everything.”
The two women graduated from the same high school – Siena College of Taytay – but didn’t know each other until they met in 2020 when Alliah was looking for a financial advisor.
For Angelika, seeing Alliah’s success is a source of pride: “Nakita ko rin yung growth ni Alliah, personally and then sa business niya. Nakakatuwa lang na nung nagsisimula siya sa career niya noon as an online seller, Sun Life talaga yung una niyang kinuha as an investment. Napaka-fulfilling in a way na part tayo nung growth niya at ng business niya.”
