BIZ BUZZ: Sun Life gets the record
Sun Life Philippines has secured the Guinness World Records title for the largest display of solar powered lamps.
The record-breaking installation was unveiled last week at the National Museum of the Philippines, and is part of Circle of Light—Sun Life’s flagship program for its 130th anniversary in the Philippines.
The display features nearly 3,000 hand-built solar lamps arranged in a visual formation that symbolizes unity, hope and the light that communities can bring to one another, the company said.
“The idea of Circle of Light stemmed from our goal to mark our 130th anniversary with something meaningful and lasting,” Benedict Sison, CEO and Country Head of Sun Life Philippines, told Biz Buzz. “Instead of a traditional celebration, we wanted to create something that would leave a tangible impact on the communities we serve. Through the Circle of Light, we aim to reinforce our commitment to making lives brighter for generations to come,” he added.
The solar lamps were assembled by Sun Life employees, advisors, volunteers and community members.
The initiative also featured a collaboration with Odangputik Art Space, a community of potters, who shaped each lamp by hand.
The National Museum serves as the venue for the display, which will remain on public view from July 2 to July 9, 2025.
