Healthway Medical provides the utmost healthcare needs of patients

Good health is true wealth. I learned about that when I was hospitalized  2 weeks ago. I prayed too hard and even bargained "Lord, please its not yet time pa po".  I  thought I was healthy and stable because of normal laboratory workups done from last month. I never imagined I would be in a room with IV hooked on and in full medication.

Anyway, when I was in my hospital bed. My doctor ordered laboratory workups and MRI.
Thank God for the result was normal, but my blood chemistry results showed otherwise. Right now, I am on medication and still recuperating.


The lesson here is never take your health for granted. If you are not feeling well, take time to rest. See your doctor immediately, if you are dizzy and vomiting. Make time for check up.  Take your vitamins everyday and never skip meals. Eat healthy if you can, even if youre surrounded by fast food in the mall. There is that one resto that offers healthy food. If youre in Shangri-la Plaza Mall,  check out Healthway Medical and their package offerings.



For more than 20 years, Healthway Medical has continued to make a name in the Philippines as a leader in preventive healthcare, offering customers various medical checkups that come in numerous package offerings.

In showing the way to Filipinos toward a healthier lifestyle, Healthway Medical currently has three product packages: Basic 5, PrimecheQ and HealthcheQ.

Basic 5 covers the Annual Physical Exam (APE), 

PrimecheQ is designed to ensure healthy aging in one’s prime years, and 

HealthcheQ is a premium brand of executive check-up that offers comprehensive medical tests with pampering treats. 

These have remained successful in providing the utmost health care needs of clients’ and patients’ needs. However, after studying the market’s demand, Healthway determined there is already a need to come up with more packages.

Thus, Healthway launched recently at the Shangri-La Plaza in Mandaluyong City a new executive check-up set dubbed “Healthy Lifestyle Bundles” that offers a variety of packages customized for customers’ lifestyle needs. 

It includes science-based personalized coaching and medical consultation to help start and maintain new healthy behaviors. It comes in 6 packages: WellCheQ, PhysicalCheQ, WeightCheQ, HeartCheQ, DiabetesCheQ and SportsCheQ, all designed to help patients achieve a healthy and balanced lifestyle.

WellCheQ provides patients a full evaluation of their health via a comprehensive executive check-up, while PhysicalCheQ is a comprehensive medical examination package that evaluates the status of one’s health

As a response to the growing number of weight, heart and diabetes health issues among Filipinos, Healthy Lifestyle Bundles suggests WeightCheq, HeartCheq, and DiabetesCheq, all relevant tests designed to help patients screen or monitor their weight, heart and blood sugar levels.

Even professional and non-professional/recreational athletes will also find the Healthy Lifestyle Bundles’ SportsCheQ very appropriate as it gives special care to the sports enthusiast by thoroughly evaluating their physical condition. 

All these packages are beneficial to combat self-inflicted diseases like diabetes, hypertension and obesity, all preventable through Healthway’s Preventive Health Cycle: embracing the “SEED” Lifestyle (Sleep, Eat Right, Exercise, De-Stress), conducting a quick self-check and consulting a medical professional regularly.

Also present during the launch were Healthway Medical’s partners such as Fitness Army and Nestlé Philippines, and one of its brand ambassadors, professional athlete JV Wong, who is also Chief Executive of People Ignite, an organization and development company in the country.

Know more about Healthway Medical’s Healthy Lifestyle Bundles and get your way towards a healthier lifestyle.

There is no denying it—the local fashion scene is flourishing on a global landscape. We’ve got world-renowned designers dressing up Hollywood red carpets, blockbuster movies, and royal weddings here and there. 

Every year, the College of Saint Benilde’s Fashion Design and Merchandising program graduating class stages ‘Sinulid’, a captivating show of creativity and out-of-the-box fashion trends shimmying down the runway—and this year’s was no exception. With the cooperation with Xiaomi, the youngest company on Global 500 fortune list this year, we’d love to talk about the young bloods, the emerging talents who are not afraid to push the imaginary boundaries of fashion.

Similar to the talented student designers, Xiaomi is committed to continuous innovation with an unwavering focus on quality and efficiency.
