Play for Life — now live on the Sun Life website — is a free, single-player game allows Filipinos to experience real-life financial scenarios through engaging gameplay.

Pascual and husband-and-wife Guidicelli and Geronimo demonstrated the game during the event and shared their thoughts after.

"It's a good way to get engaged and of course. With this game, you'll see the available strategies which depends on how practical and how aggressive you are," Pascual said.

"It's so great for Sun Life to come up with this new approach in advocating financial literacy and financial planning. For some of us, including myself, it can get overwhelming and intimidating. So in doing this game, they made everything more engaging and fun. It felt like a simulation in managing your finances," Geronimo sai.d
