Home Credit Philippines (HCPH) successfully concluded Takbo #ParaSaLife 2026 after gathering thousands of runners across its Manila and Cebu legs, reinforcing its advocacy for overall wellness and financial well-being. With Security Bank as one of the event sponsors, this year’s run highlighted how maintaining good health can help Filipinos stay focused, make sound decisions, and move closer to their life goals.
The flagship wellness run kicked off last February 1 at the SM Mall of Asia Grounds where close to 4,500, runners and pets joined the Manila leg. The event continued in Cebu last March 29 at Citi di Mare by Filinvest drawing around 1,500 participants and completing this year’s two-city Takbo #ParaSaLife series. Takbo #ParaSaLife features race categories for runners of all levels including a 1KM Pet Run, 3KM, 5KM, and 10KM distances. Participants from different age groups and fitness levels took part in the event, highlighting how staying active supports overall wellness and helps individuals stay confident in pursuing both personal and financial goals. For Home Credit, promoting financial wellness goes beyond providing accessible financing solutions. Through Takbo #ParaSaLife, the company encourages Filipinos to look at overall well-being as an important part of achieving their goals, recognizing that being healthy helps people stay disciplined, think clearly, and make better decisions for their future. “Takbo #ParaSaLife reflects our belief that overall wellness plays a big role in helping people move closer to their goals. When people feel healthy and confident, they are more prepared to make responsible financial decisions, plan ahead, and take meaningful steps toward the things they want to achieve. Through initiatives like this, we hope to inspire more Filipinos to stay active, stay financially ready, and do more #ParaSaLife,” said HCPH Chief Marketing Officer Shiela Paul.
Security Bank supported the Manila and Cebu legs of the run as one of the event sponsors, sharing the same commitment to encouraging Filipinos to build strong habits both physically and financially. The partnership also highlights how staying active and saving regularly can help individuals prepare for the future with greater confidence. “Security Bank is proud to support initiatives like Takbo #ParaSaLife that promote both physical wellness and financial awareness. Taking care of one’s health and finances goes hand in hand. As Filipinos work toward their personal goals, we encourage them to also take simple steps toward financial readiness, such as building their savings and using the Security Bank App to manage their money more easily,” said Security Bank Corporation Vice President and Head of Partnerships Laurice Rachelle Lupisan. Beyond the racecourse, participants enjoyed warm-up sessions, recovery activities, and interactive booths that created an engaging experience for runners, families, and pets alike. The event served as a reminder that small, consistent steps — whether staying active, managing expenses, or setting aside savings — can help people stay on track toward their goals.
With strong participation in both Manila and Cebu, Home Credit continues to strengthen Takbo #ParaSaLife as its flagship wellness initiative with support from Security Bank in encouraging Filipinos to build habits that support both health and financial stability. Staying active through Home Credit’s Takbo #ParaSaLife and starting a savings account through the Security Bank App are simple steps that can help people move closer to doing more #ParaSaLife.
