The country’s leading digital services provider is now offering its customers a complimentary package on the all-in-one health and wellness app – to help monitor overall health goals and assist in health emergencies including a free ambulance ride.
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 true advocate of holistic wellness, actor, model, father or three, and mWell ambassador Fabio Ide also joined the media and bloggers at the cycling session – after saying a few inspiring words about being healthy not just for oneself but for the family.
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.
On a mission to ultimately change this reactive care mindset prevalent among Filipinos, all-in-one health and wellness app mWell seeks to promote being more proactive about one’s health and overall wellness for little to no cost. mWell believes that health is the biggest investment and that being healthy is vital in being productive, living one’s best life, and providing for the family’s needs. To reinforce this advocacy, PLDT Home is offering its customers of Fiber plans 1699 and up a complimentary mWell health pass until February 29, 2024.

Each PLDT Home account with the said plan is entitled an mWell health pass, which includes an online doctor consultation (ConsultNow or ConsultLater); availment of an e-prescription, medical certificate, and e-lab; diet-related features like various fitness and nutrition programs and a library of healthy recipes; and the mWell Score, the app’s overall health and wellness tracker.
The mWell health pass especially entitles PLDT Home customers to one ambulance ride by Lifeline, which can be used for an emergency anytime and anywhere, through the app.
“Embracing both physical and mental well-being is key to a happy life. But it is not enough to focus solely on our personal health and fitness; we must also be mindful of the state of our family’s health,” emphasized Evert Chris Miranda, Vice President and Head of Home Digital Services at PLDT. “At PLDT Home, we recognize the paramount importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle within Filipino families. That is why we partnered with revolutionary health app mWell to spearhead the advocacy for proactive healthcare.”
Right on Family Health History Day (November 23), PLDT Home and mWell gathered health and lifestyle media, bloggers, and fitness influencers like Fabio Ide for an indoor cycling session at Electric Studio, Forbes Town Center, BGC, Taguig City to remind them about checking one’s health records and acting on it
“Complimentary to our customers, the mWell free health pass packs a lot of benefits and features to manage and oversee your family’s overall health and wellness. From fitness and nutrition to physical and mind health, you have the tools to help you monitor and take action — all from the comfort of your home. This partnership between PLDT Home and mWell is an opportunity you don’t want to miss,” Miranda added.
Amplifying the importance of proactive care when it comes to health and wellness, PLDT Home and mWell recently announced their partnership through a holistic wellness-themed event. Right on Family Health History Day (November 23), the brands gathered health and lifestyle media, bloggers, and fitness influencers like Fabio Ide for an indoor cycling session at Electric Studio, Forbes Town Center, BGC, Taguig City to remind them about checking one’s health records and acting on it.

The event ended on an endorphin high, with a filling meal and refreshments to further emphasize the need for good nutrition.
