4 Ways Filipinos Can Take Charge of their Health

Every year on World Health Day, global attention turns to the importance of protecting people’s well-being. In the Philippines, there is an opportunity to strengthen the healthcare system’s emphasis on preventive care alongside treatment.

Many Filipinos seek medical attention only when symptoms become severe. A report by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) found that in 2024, more than a third of Filipinos died from illness without seeing a medical professional beforehand1, reflecting the country’s long-standing challenge of delayed health-seeking behavior. 

Treat The Family's Superhero On Father's Day

There’s something about fathers that inspires awe and wonder. They are usually their children’s first hero, first love, silent defender, and indulgent spoiler. From childhood to adulthood, their endearing (and sometimes exasperating) qualities have shaped how their children look at themselves and the world.

This Father’s Day (June 16), take the time to really make your father feel loved, recognized, and appreciated. This could often be a challenge because fathers come in so many shapes and sizes. Some are the quiet type and shy away from attention, some are grumpy or temperamental, some are outgoing and expressive, some work so hard they turn days into nights, some are sporty, while some are just happy to veg out in front of the TV.
