Last February 1st, 2026, over 4,500 runners and pets attended the Manila leg of Takbo #ParaSaLife 2026, Home Credit Philippines’ flagship wellness run at the SM Mall of Asia Grounds—marking the event’s second year.
The run, organized in partnership with the country’s elite race organizer, RUNRIO, featured race categories for runners of all levels, from 1KM Pet Run to 3KM, to 5KM, and to 10KM distances. Beginners, seasoned runners, families, friends, and fur parents gathered for the morning event, which highlighted fitness, community, and overall well-being.
The Manila Leg was supported by Slimmers World, Park Access, and Security Bank, Home Credit’s gold sponsors, which backed the event’s focus on fitness, health, and financial well-being. Pocari Sweat served as the official electrolyte drink, while Citadines Bay was the official hotel partner. Cignal and Pilipinas Live joined as the run’s official media partners.
Additional partner brands provided race-day support through wellness booths and post-run activities. These included ECPay, M Lhuillier, Dermesse, Xiaomi, Hey! Salad, Fit Bar, MILCU, Leslie’s, Salonpas, Cristalino, Unilever, Rexona, Chef on a Diet, Locally, Birch Tree, Skintec, Everest Appliances, Meralco PowerGen, Rope PH, and DITO, which all contributed to a vibrant race village experience.
Beyond the races, warm-up sessions, recovery activities, and interactive booths were available for all runners to participate in. Finishers received tote bags containing hydration drinks, snacks, wellness items, and daily essentials from Home Credit and its partners.
“Overall wellness is key to achieving financial confidence,” said Sheila Paul, Chief Marketing Officer of Home Credit Philippines. “Through Takbo #ParaSaLife, we celebrate the importance of caring for ourselves. Every step, every goal, and every run strengthens not only the body but also the confidence to make empowered decisions in life and finances. When people are healthier and more balanced, they are better equipped to pursue their goals and do more #ParaSaLife.”
But of course, the fun doesn’t end there just yet! if you happen to be in Cebu on March 29th, Takbo #ParaSaLife 2026 will head at the Citi de Mare, again in partnership with RUNRIO, Security Bank, and Park Access. This leg will feature the same race categories and wellness-focused activities for runners and pets in Cebu. Registration is still ongoing at https://bit.ly/49nCWDZ,
