March is the celebration of Women's Month in recognition of International Women's Day on March 8. The theme for this year's celebration, as set by the Philippine Commission on Women (PCW), focuses on how an inclusive society helps empower women to make their own decisions and to show their capacity to influence societal change.


As part of our Women's Month celebration, we have partnered with Mind You to help us understand the different roles women play in society to develop increased awareness regarding women's mental health and learn about strategies to promote a culture of support and inclusivity through self-care, stress reduction and building resilience.

February is Philippine Heart Month! And no, it's not because of Valentine's Day.

Philippine Heart Month is a time for us to focus on the importance of heart health. After all, our heart plays an important part in our overall well-being so it's vital that we take charge and ensure its health. Did you know that cardiovascular disease gives the biggest chunk of the annual fatalities for non-communicable diseases and at least three-quarters of the global fatalities for CVDs come from middle-to-lower income countries? In fact, the Filipino population is at higher risk for cardiovascular disease-related deaths than that of countries like the United States.

So in celebration of Philippine Heart Month, we partnered with Maxicare for Healthy Life, Happy Heart with Dr. Jan Paolo Dipasupil, MD, MBAH, DIBLM. Learn about the lifestyle changes we can make to prevent cardiovascular diseases through this webinar.
