BingoPlus, your comprehensive entertainment and amusement platform and the first online Bingo app in the country, honors the biggest and most popular festival in Cebu City, the Sinulog.
The Sinulog Festival is an annual celebration held every third Sunday of January in Cebu. The festival is also known for its street parties, which happen during the night. It is also tagged as one of the Grandest Festivals in the country.
To kick-off the brand’s support, BingoPlus started its on-ground presence by staging its first booth on January 6 at the World Tent City.

Additional BingoPlus booths were also staged at Fuente Osmena, Plaza Independencia, and SRP Grandstand to reach a larger audience and to spread the fun and entertainment. Adding-up to the activities previously mentioned, photo wall, winner drop ball, roll the dice, and archery were also an engagement activity in the BingoPlus booth.
To further highlight Sinulog, BingoPlus gave recognition to Cebuanos who are seen dedicated and passionate in their craft in different events such as the Miss Cebu 2024, Sinulog Idol 2024, Sinulog Festival Queen, and Sinulog Dance Crew.
The brand awarded Miss Runway by BingoPlus and a P10,000 cash to Zoe Cameron and Miss BingoPlus Cebu 2024 with a P30,000 cash to Sofia Mendheart Jumamoy during the Miss Cebu Pre-Pageant event held on January 10.

On the other hand, Mary Love Lopez was recognized as Miss BingoPlus Festival Queen and received P20,000 cash.
To wrap off the brand presence, BingoPlus participated in the float parade on January 21, where thousands of spectators witnessed all the beautiful, festive, and grandest floats from different sponsors and contingents. People endured the heat to show support to their favorites. On that same day, BingoPlus variety show day 1 was held in Plaza Independencia and in World Tent City for day 2. Cebuanos were truly entertained in this 2-day BingoPlus event as they witnessed performances by Tony Labrusca, Paul Salas, G22 and more. Furthermore, P150,000 worth of raffle prizes (minor and major) and game prizes were given away, and P50,000 in cash was raffled on the second day. It was indeed one successful prititit Sinulog experience for BingoPlus.
Such efforts are the brand’s own way of giving back all the support and gratitude that it has received. It is also indeed a reaffirmation that BingoPlus holds its mission to be the leading leisure and entertainment provider.

LEARNINGS FROM GOWELL’S THE SWEET STRUGGLE PART 2
How do you go back to your regular diet after an indulgent holiday season? After weeks of eating scrumptious Filipino treats like puto bumbong, bibingka, fruit salad, and sweetened ham, it can be a challenging pursuit especially if you’ve developed a sweet tooth.
The good news is, it’s possible to still enjoy sweet treats and maintain a balanced diet. This is according to Dr. Ian Cadiz, Dr. Francisco Navarro, and Kirk Bondad, the experts from The Sweet Struggle Part 2 – a live wellness event mounted by GoWell, Sun Life Philippines’ health and wellness community.
During the event, the speakers debunked myths about sugar and diabetes, shared insights on why one can get sugar cravings, and how they can manage them. Here are the top five tips on how you can balance indulgence and your well-being:
- Keep your nutrition in check. To maintain a healthy body while enjoying your sugar rush, it is important to consume a variety of nutrients as vitamins and minerals help the body's functions work properly.
- Eat high-protein meals. This is the most satisfying macronutrient that can knock down hunger, which can also help cut down on sugary snacks or binge snacking.
- Stay hydrated. Hydration is essential for overall health because it supports various bodily functions. Remember to drink enough water throughout the day.
- Sleep your cravings away. Sufficient sleep helps regulate stress hormones, contributing to a more balanced hormonal environment and may lessen cravings associated with stress.
- Surround yourself with a supportive environment. Having a supportive community can positively influence lifestyle choices, making it easier to maintain healthy habits and overall well-being.
The Sweet Struggle supports Sun Life’s global diabetes awareness and prevention advocacy. Aside from mounting wellness campaigns, Sun Life has launched various initiatives in support of diabetes awareness and prevention advocacy. This includes hosting its annual charity event SunPIOLOgy in partnership with long-time Sun Life ambassador Piolo Pascual. The Institute for Studies on Diabetes Foundation Inc. (ISDFI), one of the beneficiaries of SunPIOLOgy, is a non-profit organization that helps to provide critical care for diabetic patients and improve its facilities, such as the Sun Life-ISDFI Nutrition Studio and the ISDFI-Sun Life GoWell Fitness Center.

MANILA, PH – (January 24, 2024) - The Sun Life Foundation recently launched an urban gardening program at Comembo Elementary School as part of the Tulong Eskwela project, an initiative in partnership with AHA Learning Center that provides quality education to student-beneficiaries.
The urban garden aims to support the school’s feeding program to help combat undernourishment among the students. It also aims to encourage parents to start the practice at home.
“Aside from providing opportunities to learn, we also want to look after the welfare and holistic health of our student-beneficiaries,” Sun Life Foundation Executive Director Kristine Millete said. “This initiative can help provide them with more sustenance in a more sustainable way.”
During the launch, Comembo Elementary School also hosted “Palarong Pinoy” where students, teachers, and parent-leaders played traditional Filipino games together with Millete and Sun Life executives, including Sun Life Philippines CEO & Country Head and Sun Life Foundation Chairman Benedict Sison, Sun Life Foundation President Alex Narciso, and other members of the Sun Life Philippine Leadership Team. Sun Life Global President & CEO Kevin Strain, who was also in town from Canada, made sure to join the launch and festivities as well.

Tulong Eskwela is a flagship education program of AHA Learning Center. The Sun Life Foundation partnered with AHA Learning Center in 2020 to support teachers, students, and parents pivot towards distance and hybrid learning setup during the pandemic. Since its launch, it has aided thousands of beneficiaries and has helped ease the challenges of learning in a post-pandemic environment.
