The Greatest Gift: Nurturing Filipino Families’ Health and Happiness This Holiday Season

     With the holiday season approaching, it's the perfect time to reflect on the greatest gift we can give our loved ones: the gift of health. In the Philippines, where family is deeply valued and health challenges persist, prioritizing family wellness is more important than ever. This year, let’s embrace wellness as a family affair, ensuring we can enjoy many more holidays together.

    I presume that some of you are having a hard time thinking of what to give to family members especially to someone who has everything. It's tough, I know because I've been there many times and I ended up giving something that I think will just be kept in the closet or sit in their display cabinets for a long time. We all know that it's the thought that counts but hey, if you really care for someone I guess it's time to give the best gift this year: the gift of health and wellness. It's time to wrap something essential that will nurture inside and out. Health and wellness supplements are the star of Christmas gift wish list this year so let me introduce to you a promising brand that caters to everything health and wellness. Get to know more about LAC (Leader in Antioxidative Care) after the jump :)

Jolina Magdangal for OMROM PH's "Be Sure Campaign"

     In the bustling world of Filipino television, Jolina Magdangal has long been a household name, lighting up screens with her vibrant personality and unmistakable charm. But off-screen, she is just as dedicated in her role as a wife and mother of two, always putting her family’s health and happiness first. This dedication to good health makes Jolina the ideal brand ambassador for OMRON Healthcare business in the Philippines, the country’s leading provider of health monitoring and management solutions. As the new face of OMRON, the multifaceted actress emphasizes the crucial role of healthcare monitoring in ensuring family wellness through its “Be Sure” campaign.

     Like Jolina, I'm an advocate of health and wellness through a healthy lifestyle. It may sound cliché that "prevention is better than cure" but I will not get tired of saying this to my family and friends repeatedly. I've experienced a lot of difficulty during the time that my father is in and out of the hospital during his dialysis days. The sight of the emergency room has been traumatizing and the stress that it gave me both physically and mentally is something that I don't want to happen again. Thankful that OMRON PH launch this campaign with Jolina Magdangal to understand why it's important to "Be Sure" when it comes to monitoring our family's health.

     If there’s one helpful lesson that the pandemic has helped reinforce on a bigger, more alarming scale, it’s that people should be more cautious of their health no matter the season. Even in the post-pandemic era, people should constantly get themselves checked and track their health in all aspects.

     A recent study by research institute Capstone-Intel Corp., however, found that only 40% of Filipinos go to the doctor to get checked regularly, and 33% only do so when they fall ill. This rate doesn’t bode well for many people’s health, especially with conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and the like common to Filipinos.
