New iCare ambassador Melai Cantiveros-Francisco on being a wais mom with healthcare

In almost every Filipino household, moms are the ultimate caregivers. They wake up early to prepare meals, manage tight budgets, and make sure everyone is ready for school or work. Yet when it comes to their own health, many moms do something heartbreakingly common—they brush off pain and delay doctor visits to save money.

This pervasive tiis-sakit mentality often leaves families vulnerable, as minor symptoms can escalate into serious medical emergencies that lead to unexpected expenses.

To help break this cycle, iCare has partnered with host, actress, and ultimate Wais Mom Melai Cantiveros-Francisco as the new face of its iCare Prepaid Cards. Together, they are changing the way Filipinos think about healthcare—not as an expensive luxury, but as an affordable and essential part of everyday family life.

Known for her infectious humor and practical wisdom, Melai candidly shares how her perspective on healthcare changed when she became a mother to her two daughters.

“Nung nagkaanak na ako, naging open na ako sa HMO kasi doble na ang iniisip namin. Hindi mo na kailangang hintayin na magkasakit kayong lahat sa pamilya bago kayo magpatingin sa ospital,” she shared. “Panatag ka na dalhin sa ospital ang pamilya mo nang hindi nangungutang. Sobra akong happy na nag-a-adjust ang iCare para sa masa.”

For years, quality healthcare coverage was viewed as a benefit reserved for corporate employees or individuals with substantial savings. iCare is changing that by offering affordable, prepaid HMO plans that eliminate long-term commitments, expensive premiums, and complicated paperwork.

“Yung goal ng iCare is to be stress-free para sa mga magulang at sa mga tao kapag nag-oospital. Hindi ka na ma-stress kapag bayaran na ng hospital bills,” Melai added.

Quality Healthcare Starting at Just ₱100

iCare’s prepaid HMO plans give Filipinos an easy and affordable way to access quality healthcare without breaking the bank. With a one-time payment, customers can choose the coverage that best fits their needs—from emergency room (ER) treatment to inpatient confinement.

The ER Care Choice plan, starting at just ₱100, provides short-term coverage for emergency room treatment and confinement due to accidents and viral or bacterial illnesses. Meanwhile, the K12 Health Cover/Dengue Flex plan, starting at ₱500, provides up to ₱50,000 worth of outpatient and inpatient coverage for emergency cases caused by dengue, leptospirosis, and COVID-19.

All prepaid HMO plans can be used across iCare’s extensive network of more than 2,000 partner hospitals and clinics and over 50,000 accredited doctors nationwide.

Say YES to Better Health Today

When every member of the family is healthy, they can focus on what truly matters—studying, working, and creating meaningful moments together. Melai treasures every opportunity to bond with her daughters, whether it’s playing pickleball or enjoying movie nights at home.

Like many Filipino moms, Melai’s love for her family means always giving them the very best. Despite her busy schedule, she makes time for her husband and daughters—and plans ahead with iCare so they can receive quality healthcare whenever they need it.

“Hindi na pwedeng papetiks-petiks ka at hindi ka maghanda kapag may tao ka nang under your responsibility. Dapat lahat ng best for them, always mo talagang ibibigay,” Melai said.

For too long, many Filipinos have delayed seeking medical care because they believed healthcare was beyond their means. But protecting your family’s health shouldn’t have to wait until an emergency happens.

With iCare’s prepaid HMO plans, more Filipino families can break the cycle of ignoring symptoms and putting off essential medical care. Protecting loved ones from sickness and high medical bills is now easier than ever.

Challenge the tiis-sakit mentality and give your family the protection they deserve. With iCare Prepaid Cards starting at just ₱100, peace of mind is truly within your reach. Say YES to better health today! To learn more about iCare Prepaid Cards and find the plan that’s right for you and your family, visit www.icare.com.ph.

Filipinos Want More Than SPF. Gluta-C SPF 60+ Delivers the Glow
Most Filipinos already know they should wear sunscreen every day. The challenge isn’t awareness—it’s finding one they actually enjoy wearing. From sticky textures and greasy finishes to white cast, breakouts, and products thatseem to disappear the moment you start sweating, daily sunscreen has become one of the easiest skincare habits to skip.

Responding to these everyday concerns, Gluta-C introduces its new Brightening Sunscreen collection featuring SPF 60+ PA+++ protection, blue light defense, antioxidant-rich ingredients, and three skin-enhancing shade variants designed for everyday wear. Developed through consumer insights and Gluta-C’s long-standing commitment to creating safe, multi-benefit skincare, the new collection helps simplify daily routines by combining sun protection, skincare, and complexion-enhancing benefits in one product.

Why This Matters

For years, sunscreen conversations centered almost entirely on preventing sunburn. Today, Filipino consumers are asking different questions—whether a sunscreen will feel lightweight enough for the daily commute, stay comfortable without becoming oily by midday, wear well under makeup, and blend seamlessly without leaving a white cast. In today’s climate, sunscreen’s everyday wearability has become just as important as its level of sun protection. Recent social listening across Filipino skincare communities shows that texture, comfort, trust, and ease of use now influence sunscreen purchases just as much as SPF protection. Consumers increasingly want products that fit seamlessly into their daily routine—not products that feel like another skincare chore.

These insights align with Gluta-C’s own consumer research, which found that people are increasingly looking for skincare products that are safe and deliver multiple benefits in one application. This multi-benefit philosophy has long been at the core of Gluta-C’s product development—creating formulations that do more than address a single skincare concern while helping keep skin healthy.

The brand’s latest consumer survey also revealed a shift in what people consider beautiful skin. Rather than simply aiming for fairer skin, respondents said they want skin that look seven-toned, moisturized, and naturally glowing. These findings reinforce the growing demand for skincare products that not only protect against everyday environmental stressors but also visibly improve overall skin health.

Designed Around Real Everyday Needs

Gluta-C Brightening Sunscreen was created to simplify daily skincare by combining multiple benefits into a single product.

Available in Tone-Up, Light Shade, and Medium Shade, each formula features:
- SPF 60+ PA+++ broad-spectrum UV protection
- Blue light protection for daily digital exposure
- Glutathione and Vitamin C antioxidants
- Moisturizing skincare benefits
- Lightweight, comfortable texture for everyday wear
- Matte finish to help minimize unwanted shine
- Skin tint that blends naturally for a healthy-looking complexion
Instead of requiring separate products for sun protection, hydration, brightening, and complexion enhancement, the collection brings these benefits together in one easy step—making it easier to stay consistent with daily sunscreen use.

“Healthy Skin Has Become the New Beauty Standard”

“We’ve always believed that skincare should do more than solve one concern, ” said Angeline Fiechter, President of Ardent World Inc.

“Every Gluta-C product begins with one important question: Will it help keep the skin healthy? Before we add brightening benefits, we make sure the formula nourishes, moisturizes, and supports overall skin health.

“Our consumer research confirmed what we’re seeing today—people no longer define beautiful skin by fairness alone. They want skin that looks healthy, even-toned, moisturized, and naturally glowing. That’s exactly what inspired the development of our new Brightening Sunscreen. We wanted to create a sunscreen that not only offers high sun protection but also delivers the skincare benefits consumers truly value while remaining lightweight and comfortable enough for everyday use.”

Making Daily Protection Easier for Everyone

Whether commuting to work, attending classes, exercising outdoors, driving, working beside a sunny window, or spending hours in front of digital devices, daily sun exposure has become part of modern life.Gluta-C Brightening Sunscreen helps simplify daily skincare by combining broad-spectrum UV protection, blue light defense, hydration, antioxidant care, and complexion-enhancing benefits into a single product. By reducing the need for multiple steps, it addresses one of the biggest barriers to sunscreen use: convenience.

Suitable for a wide range of skin types and lifestyles, the collection makes daily protection easier while helping maintain skin that looks healthy, moisturized, even-toned, and naturally radiant.

Consumer Trends Continue to Shape Everyday Skincare

Both global skincare trends and local consumer conversations point to a growing shift toward preventive skincare. Sunscreen is increasingly viewed not only as protection against sunburn but also as an essential step in helping prevent uneven skin tone, dryness, premature signs of aging, and the visible effects of daily UV and blue light exposure. At the same time, today’s consumers are choosing products based on how they perform in real life. Lightweight textures, non-greasy finishes, skin-friendly ingredients, and multi-benefit formulations have become just as important as SPF ratings. As skincare routines continue to evolve, consumers are looking for products that make healthy skin easier to achieve every day.

Posh Skin Co. Founders Expand into Wellness with Dr.10, Welcome Hannah Pangilinan as Creative Director
Taking care of yourself shouldn’t feel like another item on an already full to-do list. Yet modern wellness has become increasingly complex, making consistency difficult for many people.

Building on the success of Posh Skin Co.®, Kimtan Labs Inc., the team behind the well-loved acne skincare brand, has expanded beyond beauty with DR.10, a wellness brand dedicated to making everyday healthy habits simple, effective, and within reach. It has appointed Hannah Pangilinan as Creative Director to shape DR.10’s vision by incorporating her distinct perspectives on lifestyle, design, and practical wellness.

“Our ultimate goal has always been to build brands that solve real everyday friction,” shares Dowan Kim, CEO. “We first worked with Hannah when we designed a custom pack of spot patches for her race, the Just One Fun Run, under our maiden brand, Posh. We were instantly blown away by her creative outlook and meticulous attention to detail. As we spoke more, we realized how deeply aligned our wellness philosophies were. Welcoming her now as Creative Director for DR.10 was a natural next step. Hannah has built a highly supportive community by sharing her fitness journey and advocating for intentional rest. She embodies realistic, balanced living, and her unique ability to connect with people ensures DR.10 will be a truly meaningful part of our customers’ daily lives.”

The launch of DR.10 follows a major milestone for its sister brand. After Posh Skin Co.® was recognized at the Watsons Health, Wellness, and Beauty (HWB) Awards 2026 as one of the leading new brands in the beauty category, the team identified a growing need. While customers loved their approach to beauty, they were looking for self-care solutions that went beyond skincare. They wanted that same customer-first, easy-to-use approach applied to their daily wellness essentials.

Recognizing this demand, DR.10 was created to cut through the noise of expensive, overly serious, and hard-to-reach health trends. The brand’s mission is woven directly into its name. “DR.” represents the trusted knowledge and genuine care of a family doctor who simply wants to help you find affordable relief. Meanwhile, “10” stands for completion and maximum impact, offering 10x the effectiveness and value to put a definitive end to your daily health friction.

To deliver on this 10x promise, DR.10 has structured its lineup into three distinct pillars designed to mirror how you actually live:
- Essentials: Built to keep us grounded in daily health and stable routines.
  Recovery: Designed to help us heal, restore, and bounce back when life takes its toll.
- Performance: Engineered to push us further, helping us feel and be at our absolute best.
First Essentials for Daily Routine

DR.10 Restful Night Mouth Tapes

Taking the first step in this mission, DR.10 is entering the market with the launch of its primary hero products:

Mouth Tape: Promotes healthy nasal breathing throughout the night to reduce snoring, prevent bad breath, and deliver deeper, more restorative sleep, utilizing a gentle, collagen-infused adhesive for maximum overnight comfort.

DR.10 Japanese Tongue Cleaner

Japanese Style Tongue Cleaner: Utilizes high-strength rubber and an anti-slip handle designed with multiple precision grooves to more effectively scrape away bacteria and gunk, instantly refreshing breath and improving oral hygiene.

A Glimpse into the Future of DR.10

This initial release is just the beginning of a much larger vision to build a full ecosystem of wellness solutions designed to support any lifestyle. DR.10 will expand its product lineup across its three core wellness categories: essentials, performance, and recovery to include:

Essentials
- Anti-Mosquito Patches
- Motion Sickness Patches
- UV Detecting Patches
Recovery
- Melatonin Sleep Patches
- Menstrual Heating Patches
- Back & Back Heating Patches
- Hangover Relief Patches
- Fever Cooling Patches
- Silicone Scar Removal Sheets
Performance (Pushing Your Limits)
- Pain Relief Sheets
- Breathe Easy Nasal Strips
(L-R) DR.10 Co-founders Charmaine Palermo and Dowan Kim with
DR.10 Creative Director Hannah Pangilinan

“We are just scratching the surface of what DR.10 can offer,” shares Pangilinan. “Our ultimate goal is to be that reliable, everyday partner for individuals with various lifestyles & routines. We have so many exciting, practical solutions in the works, and cannot wait to share the rest of this journey with everyone.”

The first two hero products from DR.10, the premium Mouth Tape and the Japanese Style Tongue Cleaner, are now available at select Watsons branches nationwide. Consumers can also purchase them online via the brand’s official stores on TikTok Shop, Shopee, and Lazada.

Following the appointment of Jun Ji-hyun and Kôki, Hada Labo has officially announced the appointment of ANNA Tanaka, the Japanese member of the Gen Z girl group MEOVV, as its newest ambassador for the Asia-Pacific region, alongside the launch of a brand-new advertising campaign. The brand first released a teaser to give fans an early glimpse of ANNA’s many looks and her all-day hydrated glow. This will be followed by a music-video-style commercial starring ANNA, as well as exclusive behind-the-scenes footage, perfectly capturing Hada Labo’s “confident, healthy skin” image through ANNA’s signature cat-like charm.

“Just Right” Radiance: ANNA Interprets a Pure and Confident Skincare Attitude

Hada Labo has always monitored product quality under the strictest pharmaceutical standards, offering consumers skincare choices they can truly trust. Guided by its “just right” philosophy, the brand’s full skincare range—from cleanser, lotion, and cream—caters to different skin needs by providing the exact right nourishment, avoiding excess and allowing skin to return to its most pure and stable condition.

This balanced approach reflects ANNA’s own charm—neither too much nor too little, but just right. She is unassuming yet radiant, natural yet captivating. Her naturally luminous skin and inner confidence align perfectly with the brand’s philosophy. ANNA also exudes a gentle yet determined presence, genuine and pure, embodying Hada Labo’s commitment to quality and essence. The radiance she shows on stage and in front of the camera comes from healthy, mochi-mochi skin, making her the ideal expression of the brand’s “just right” skincare philosophy.

Behind the 24-Hour Shoot: Cat Elements Add Extra Spark to an All-Day Glow

Earlier, ANNA made time to film the new Hada Labo campaign, showcasing an all-day hydrated glow on camera. Built around a “24 hours, 8x speed” concept, the commercial captures her changing from a youthful student look to a bright yellow dress, a pale blue elegant gown, and finally a sparkling, glamorous evening dress—all while maintaining delicate, luminous skin across every transformation. The campaign also introduces a mysterious cat character, appearing alongside ANNA and echoing MEOVV’s signature cat-inspired image. When cat elements meet Hada Labo’s pure and simple philosophy, the result is a visual that feels both lively and refined.

During filming, ANNA handled multiple wardrobe and scene changes with professionalism and poise, earning praise from the crew for her dedication. Even after long hours on set, her skin remained radiant and stable. She shared, “After I started using Hada Labo, I learned to give my skin only what it truly needs. The simpler it is, the more reassuring it feels, and my skin has become much more stable.”

ANNA added, “I’m really happy to become Hada Labo’s APAC ambassador. This is not only my first skincare endorsement, but also a brand I’ve always trusted! My teammates were also happy for me, and when they heard I was a little nervous before filming, they encouraged me a lot. I even shared Hada Labo masks with the members in the dorm, so we had a girls’ mask night!”

Speaking about a fun moment from the shoot, ANNA laughed, “It was really fun filming with the newly added cat character. Even though it wasn’t a real cat, I still had to pretend to interact with it, and sometimes act out scenes where it suddenly stole the spotlight. That was a real test of my acting!” Through this new campaign, ANNA presents 24-hour, non-stop radiance and shows everyone what truly comes from within: confident, healthy skin. It also marks a new chapter for Hada Labo, inviting every woman to discover her own just-right, mochi-mochi glow through simple, pure skincare.
