Healthcare for Every Filipino: How HEAL PH Aims to Bridge the Gap with a Health Card for All

Access to healthcare remains a significant challenge for many Filipinos, with the high cost of medical services deterring individuals from seeking necessary treatment. For instance, emergency room visits can cost around ₱5,000, excluding medications and procedures, making healthcare unaffordable for low-income families.


 Recognizing this pressing issue, the Health Alliance Philippines (HEAL PH) Party-list is advocating for a comprehensive health card program in the upcoming 2025 elections. This initiative aims to provide free, unlimited medical cards to low-income families, granting them access to essential medical services and specialized treatments in government hospitals. Led by public health advocates such as Dr. Jonathan David "Jondi" Flavier and Dr. Eric Tayag, HEAL PH is committed to ensuring that no Filipino is denied healthcare due to financial constraints.

HEAL PH Party-list

For the first time in Philippine history, two health reform champions unite in the upcoming 2025 elections to guarantee that quality healthcare services reach the poorest Filipino families, ensuring access to health services for all.

Dr. Jonathan David ”Jondi” A. Flavier

Inspired by the legacy of the late Senator Dr. Juan Flavier (1995–2007), known for his advocacy of "Bringing a Doctor to the Senate," renowned physician Dr. Willie Ong and Dr. Jondi Flavier, first nominee of the HEALTH ALLIANCE PH (HEAL PH) Party-List 152, are both running in the May 2025 midterm elections.

Their campaign message is clear: "Let's DOH it again."

Dr. Enrique ”Eric” Tayag

Alongside them are former Department of Health (DOH) Undersecretary Dr. Eric Tayag and former Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Undersecretary Major General Bennie de Leon, who joined the HEAL PH team as key nominees.

Signing of Manifesto with HEAL PH Party-list Nominees

Both Dr. Willie Ong and HEAL PH are committed to advancing the principles of Primary Health Care, as set out in the 1978 Alma Ata Declaration, and to fully supporting the Universal Health Care Act of 2019, known as "Kalusugan Pangkalahatan.”

Their shared vision, once elected, is to advocate for the G.O.A.L. program that will directly benefit the underserved Filipino communities:

G - Gamot (Free Medicine)

O - Operasyon (Free Medical Operations)

A - Abiso (Correct Health Advice)

L - Lab Tests (Free Laboratory Tests)

These initiatives will be focused on urban poor communities and remote barangays, ensuring that those who need help the most receive the care they deserve.

Dr. Willie and HEAL PH also pledged to support the Department of Health (DOH) and local government units (LGUs) in recruiting, training, and deploying more young, idealistic doctors and health workers to underserved areas, continuing the program initiated by Dr. Juan Flavier in 1993.

A key part of their platform is the promotion of Health Cards with unlimited medical coverage, which will provide vulnerable Filipinos with access to essential healthcare services from basic care to specialized treatments.

These cards will not only save lives but will also help combat fraud in healthcare facilities.

Rather than focusing on new investments, Dr. Willie and HEAL PH will prioritize optimizing and modernizing existing resources to improve government health infrastructure.

They are committed to implementing strict penalties for the misappropriation of public health funds, including making such offenses non-bailable.

Nominees of HEAL PH Party-list

The Manifesto of Solidarity and Collaboration, signed by Atty. Gilbert Lauengco, Chief of Staff for Dr. Willie Ong, was formally launched today, December 12, 2024, at Spices Restaurant, The Peninsula Manila, Makati. Dr. Jondi Flavier, Dr. Eric Tayag, General Bennie de Leon, and other HEAL PH nominees were present to witness the event.

HUAWEI Mate X6‘s Space-Age Orbit design around the camera layout gets inspiration from planetary orbits, symbolizing the infinite possibility of the future. The exclusive Nebula Gray edition is named after its nebula texture, which is smooth to the touch, crafted with Micro-Nano 3D Topography using an innovative material called Vegan Fiber. Aside from Nebula Gray, the HUAWEI Mate X6 will also be available in Nebula Red and Black.

This advanced camera technology enables a breakthrough in photography for foldable devices.

 

HUAWEI Mate X6 introduces the Live Multi-task feature, a new way to multi-task efficiently. With this feature, users can run three applications simultaneously using the unfolded screen in an expanded view. 

 

HUAWEI nova 13 Series: Super Selfie, Super Pattern

 

In 2025, HUAWEI is reintroducing its nova Series with the HUAWEI nova 13 and HUAWEI nova 13 Pro. The HUAWEI nova 13 Series comes with the new Dynamic Plaid Texture Design, multi-focal portrait capabilities, and AI-driven innovations, bringing in a fresh wave of trends while embodying the creative spirit of the younger generation.

 

Inspired by high-fashion elements, HUAWEI nova 13 Series debuts the striking Loden Green colorway with the innovative Dynamic Plaid Texture Design. The HUAWEI nova 13 Series will also be available in white and black for a minimalist and sophisticated feel.

 

Staying true to being fashion-forward, the HUAWEI nova 13 Series brings plaid patterns from clothes and accessories into the world of handheld devices by crafting a design that plays on light and shadow. With the nano-level precision in the Dynamic Plaid Texture Design, the HUAWEI nova 13 Series injects a modern touch to bold, tech-inspired sophistication. The pattern’s shading shifts subtly with viewing angles, adding a dynamic visual appeal.

 

When it comes to cameras, the HUAWEI nova 13 Series supports multi-focal portrait capabilities for both front and rear cameras, delivering portrait shots with a rich and artistic vibrance. HUAWEI nova 13 Pro introduces an upgraded 50MP Adjustable Aperture Camera with a variable aperture range of F1.4 to F4.0, which adapts seamlessly to various shooting scenarios. Equipped with Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS), the camera improves light sensitivity for clearer results in low-light conditions. Additionally, the 3X Optical Zoom Telephoto Portrait Camera with OIS provides versatile zoom options, perfect for medium to long-distance portrait shots. 

 

With the launch of the HUAWEI nova 13 Series comes the unveiling of the AI Best Expression feature.

When it comes to call clarity, HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro 4’s Stable & Clear Calls feature can eliminate up to 100dB of external noise during calls thanks to HUAWEI’s ever-evolving AI noise reduction algorithm and 3 microphones with bone-conduction VPU microphone for enhanced noise isolation. 

 

HUAWEI FreeClip: Now in Rose Gold

 

The HUAWEI FreeClip continues to blend cutting-edge technology with sleek, fashion-forward aesthetics. Its signature C-Bridge design serves as both a functional clip and connector. It combines a refined ergonomic structure with a comfort-first mechanism, creating a seamless union of style and practicality.

 

The latest iteration of the HUAWEI FreeClip introduces a captivating colourway in Rose Gold. The soft pink hue, paired with subtle golden undertones, evokes a sense of romance and understated elegance.

 

Adding to its appeal, the HUAWEI FreeClip also brings new features such as Dynamic Bass Algorithm, Head Motion Controls, as well as Drop Reminders for users’ convenience. Designed to give users peace of mind, the Drop Reminders notifies users with a gentle alert if an earbud slips out during use.

Beko Champions Sustainability with 'Takbo Para Sa Kalikasan' and Pawikan Conservation Efforts

 As the world increasingly calls for sustainability, taking conscious action has become essential.  

Beko, a European home appliance brand, is championing this cause by supporting the Takbo Para Sa Kalikasan: Earth Run 2024 and the Pawikan Conservation Center, making a significant impact on sustainability and community empowerment.


 

The final leg of the elemental run series last December 7 attracted more than 8,000 participants, all brought together by their passion for running and commitment to caring for the environment. Beko showed support for the runners by providing free coffee and fans to help them recover after their long runs.

 

Beko’s support extends beyond just event sponsorship. In collaboration with Takbo Para Sa Kalikasan, Beko traveled to the Pawikan Conservation Center in Morong, Bataan, where they assisted in the release of over 100 newly hatched baby pawikans into the sea. These marine turtles play a vital role in the ecosystem by maintaining the balance of ocean life, sustaining coral reefs, and transporting essential nutrients from the oceans to other bodies of water.

 

During their visit, representatives from Beko participated in orientation sessions to enhance their understanding of conservation efforts. Beko also donated essential home appliances to the conservation center to support the livelihoods of the staff and patrollers.

 

Beko’s dedication is a reminder that sustainability starts at home. As the brand empowers households, it also contributes to nurturing the world through responsible practices and reliable home appliances -- together, creating a healthier world one home at a time.
