More than 2,000 runners took a step toward a healthier lifestyle today by participating in Takbo #ParaSaLife, Home Credit Philippines' (HCPH) inaugural fun run. Home Credit, the country's leading consumer finance company, continues its mission to help Filipinos not only financially, but also holistically, by promoting physical and mental health.
The event was held at Parqal in Aseana City and organized in collaboration with WeKenRun, a running group led by renowned marathon coach Ken Mendola. It included 1K, 3K, 5K, and 10K categories, making it accessible to runners of all fitness levels.
Aside from the fun run participants and Home Credit executives and team members, guests and personalities such as Lester Cruz, CEO of Singlife Philippines, attended the event to support Home Credit's efforts to promote healthier living. Employees from Boltech and SM participated in the race, as did valued event partners Xiaomi, Park Access, and Singlife.
Championing holistic wellness
“According to the World Health Organization (WHO), almost 38% of Filipinos are physically inactive, putting them at risk for lifestyle-related diseases. As the Filipinos’ trusted ally, not just in financial inclusion but in overall well-being, Home Credit is committed to encouraging communities to embrace a healthier lifestyle. Seeing people of all ages and backgrounds come together for this run is truly inspiring. At Home Credit, we believe that wellness is an essential part of living a fulfilling life. Takbo #ParaSaLife is more than just a race—it’s a movement that we hope will continue beyond today. We look forward to making this an annual tradition to encourage more people to prioritize their health." ~Petr Lukosz, HCPH Chief CRM Officer and 2x Ironman Philippines Champion

A successful turnout and exciting rewards
The event brought together Home Credit team members, first-time runners, and seasoned runners, all of whom shared a commitment to health and wellness.

The podium finishers in the 10K, 5K, and 3K categories received cash prizes, including a ₱10,000 grand prize for the fastest runner in the 10K.
Home Credit and its partners also made the event more rewarding by providing exciting prizes such as gift certificates for ON Running Shoes and Suunto, Park Access vouchers, and Xiaomi smart home gadgets. Singlife provided home insurance vouchers worth ₱7,500, ₱5,000, and ₱2,500 to the top male and female finishers in the 10KM, 5KM, and 3KM categories, respectively. These awards are just one of the many ways Takbo #ParaSaLife promotes holistic well-being while making every step even more rewarding.
“This was my first time joining a fun run, and I never imagined I could complete the 10K category—but I did! It was such an incredible experience. Thanks to Home Credit, I got to challenge myself and achieve something I never thought possible. This event has inspired me to stay active, set bigger fitness goals, and make running a part of my lifestyle. I hope to join again next year and push myself even further!” ~Joma Unabia, a first-time fun run participant and 10K finisher, shared his excitement about joining Takbo #ParaSaLife
Looking Ahead
With the success of Takbo #ParaSaLife, Home Credit Philippines is already planning next year's event, which promises to be even bigger, better, and more exciting.
As WHO data show that nearly 40% of Filipinos are physically inactive, initiatives like this serve as a timely reminder that small steps can lead to big changes. Beyond financial empowerment, Home Credit is dedicated to promoting holistic well-being, ensuring that every Filipino can live their best, healthiest lives—one run at a time.
