As if on silent tiptoes, Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) emerges, signaling concern in the health community of the Philippines.
“The burden of liver diseases around the world is enormous, the coverage of the number of people suffering from liver disease can encompass the entire damage of COVID-19,” remarks Dr. Jose Sollano, a revered Hepatologist and academic at the University of Santo Tomas.
By the Numbers: The Grim Picture
The Global Liver Institute’s 2022 report unveils staggering figures – 25% of the global population is grappling with NAFLD. Shockingly, in the Philippines, liver diseases claim roughly 16,500 lives annually.
Furthermore, in a previous webinar hosted by the Hepatology Society of the Philippines, Dr. Diana Payawal, Immediate Past President of the Philippine College of Physicians and Scientific Advisor to the Global State of Liver Health 2022 estimated that NAFLD affects about 10 to 20% of the Filipino population.
Decoding the Risk Factors
In the face of the severity of this disease, health officials and medical professionals are seeking ways to reduce the rapid pace of NAFLD risk nationwide. In the Philippines, one in fourteen adults is living with diabetes and 38.6% of adults are overweight to obese, all of which are at risk for NAFLD.
“Despite the risk of NAFLD encompassing a significant portion of the Filipino population, public awareness around it remains alarmingly low. We need to guide our patients in navigating this potentially life-threatening disease, from understanding, early detection, to active prevention,” said Dr. Yvonne Ferrer, Sanofi Consumer Healthcare ASEA Medical Head.
NAFLD covers a range of liver conditions caused by fat buildup, commonly seen in individuals who are overweight or obese. It is a disease more susceptible in those suffering from diabetes or cardiovascular diseases. NAFLD is an interplay of genetics, environment, diet, and microbiota, so high cholesterol levels, sedentary lifestyle and inappropriate eating habits can also increase an individual’s NAFLD risk, often leading to liver damage, disease, or even liver failure.
“The difference between the Philippines and other countries is that we are an archipelago, where bodies of water separate us, making it harder [for the public] to consult with a specialist,” said Dr. Payawal.
With this, medical practitioners are calling for the urgent need for standardized liver health information and resources, as well as guidelines in preventing the disease, especially in far-flung areas of the nation.
Available medications that have been explored for NAFLD treatment, such as fatty liver drugs and pioglitazone, only offer minimal effectiveness in managing the disease. So, by the time a patient’s condition has reached a point where medication must be considered, the disease may still advance significantly, highlighting the importance of preventive techniques.
“Millions of people are suffering from chronic liver diseases brought about by alcohol, and now [we deal with] the metabolic syndrome, but these diseases are preventable, curable, and some [cases] can be controlled,” Dr. Sollano underscored.
Putting self-care in the forefront of the battle against NAFLD
Apart from the fact that there are no standardized guidelines geared towards managing NAFLD, there are also very few liver disease prevention techniques being recommended for the general population.
“The key factor to avoid NAFLD is to keep your metabolic parameters normal, keep your numbers normal, whether it’s weight, cholesterol, etcetera,” Dr. Payawal advised. “Since this is a mitochondrial and multi-factorial disease, you need to hit different aspects of the disease in order to control it.”
Proper self-care, where individuals are intentional about maintaining their health in their day-to-day lives, is crucial to preventing NAFLD. Taking proactive steps that account for one’s holistic well-being like exercising, developing healthy food habits, and regularly consulting a doctor, is pivotal to reducing the risk of liver diseases.
However, should Filipinos find themselves at risk or in early stages of NAFLD, patients can still work towards reversing this disease as the liver is one of the organs that can regenerate. This comes with increased responsibility on lifestyle choices, but several supplements also help boost liver regeneration.
“Embracing the practice of proactive self-care can positively impact liver health. By prioritizing proper nutrition, exercise, and phospholipid intake, at-risk individuals can play an active role in reducing their NAFLD risk,” Dr. Ferrer concluded.
Individuals have a responsibility to themselves and their loved ones to put their health in their own hands, and liver care is a little-known but prominent part of overall well-being. The more that people are aware of the effects of liver diseases like NAFLD, the more that they can be intentional in avoiding or treating it.
ASICS Asia recently hosted its first-ever Regional Women’s Retreat at Hotel Labaris in Thailand, nestled within Thailand’s first and third largest National Park – Khao Yai. The event emerged as a response to the ASICS State of Mind Index findings in 2022, which unveiled a gender exercise gap where women engage in significantly less exercise than men, thereby missing out on the positive mental benefits of regular physical activity. In a bid to understand and address this gap, ASICS gathered a diverse group of over 30 participants – spanning different nationalities, ethnicities, and body types – to take part in a curated four-day program focused on advocating the positive impact of movement to achieve a sound mind and sound body.
The event promoted a sound body, commencing with an energizing sunrise run. A book reading session, co-hosted by ASICS Athlete and ultra-marathoner, Natalie Dau, and ASICS brand ambassador and Thai Actress, Taya Rogers, facilitated valuable discussions on optimizing running performance in sync with the menstrual cycle. Participants also immersed themselves in dynamic strength and core training sessions, led by Jeong Yun Lim from Netflix’s hit reality show, Physical 100, highlighting exercise’s transformative potential for a balanced and healthy lifestyle.
The event was not only about nurturing a sound body but also a sound mind. Attendees engaged in a journey of self-discovery through soul-soothing sound healing, meditation, and reflective journaling by Pearlyn Siew of Transmission Wellness.
Fiona Berwick, Head of Global Communications, said, “At ASICS, we believe in the power of exercise to improve both physical and mental wellbeing, and it’s concerning to see a gender exercise gap persist. By listening to the experiences and perspectives of individuals around the world we hope to better understand the barriers to exercise for women and work towards creating a more equal and inclusive fitness.”
In the wise words of the old adage, “It takes a village…” The same holds true in the fierce battle against cancer. While one body might endure the torment, the collective beacon of hope, coupled with boundless support from loved ones, plays a pivotal role on the emotional and mental fronts.
Continuing to show solidarity, the community comes together to honor the survivors, warriors, and their families for this year’s World Lymphoma and Blood Cancer Awareness Month.
Blood cancer is caused by mutations in the DNA within blood cells, with Lymphoma, Leukemia, and Myeloma being the most common types of blood cancers. According to the Global Cancer Observatory of the World Health Organization, in the Philippines, there are around 5,000 cases of Lymphoma, 6,000 cases of Leukemia, and 800 cases of Myeloma diagnosed every year. That is almost 12,000 Filipinos a year being diagnosed with blood cancer. More than just a statistic, it also means 12,000 families impacted, 12,000 lives disrupted, and 12,000 battles for a better tomorrow.
Unknown to many, Lymphoma is a cancer that starts in the immune system’s infection-fighting cells called lymphocytes. The lymph nodes, spleen, thymus, bone marrow, and other areas of the body contain these cells, and Lymphoma leads lymphocytes to change and increase out of control. Common symptoms include enlarged lymph nodes, chills, weight loss, fatigue– all of which are more likely to be caused by, or confused with other conditions, which is why getting checked by a doctor is important for proper diagnosis, and education about blood cancers needs to be reinforced. Lymphoma Philippinesaims to make this happen.
Lymphoma Philippines is a non-profit organization for Lymphoma patients, survivors, and caregivers aiming to spread awareness and education on Lymphoma, and connect the community through medically-approved Lymphoma-related campaigns in the country. The lack of information is what inspired cancer survivor Jheric Delos Angeles, after his recovery from Stage 4 Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma, and his wife Anna Tapel-Delos Angeles to create a community of Filipino patients and their family members in order to educate more people and provide much needed support to those in need, including fighting for better healthcare.
As part of these efforts, Jheric and Anna unveil The LymphomaQR Project, an initiative that aims to make information accessible to the general public through an easy-to-use and familiar tool. With the goal of helping Filipinos have access to relevant information all throughout their Lymphoma journey, the LymphomaQR chatbot hopes to lessen the burden that they face. With LymphomaQR, anyone can:
Know more about Lymphoma, its symptoms
Possible treatment options
Available financial assistance programs
“We looked back at our personal journey in the fight against Lymphoma, and saw the gaps to be filled– one of which is quick access to reliable information. With LymphomaQR, we’re simply taking queues from technological trends readily accepted by people to be able to make the experience easier for them, lessening the burden in whatever way we can,” says Lymphoma Philippines co-founder Jheric Delos Angeles.
Jheric and Anna also recognize that there is a bigger battle to be fought and more people willing to support the cause, all united by blood. In line with this, Lymphoma Philippines officially launches the Blood Cancer Alliance of the Philippines this World Lymphoma Awareness Month. Joining forces with EPCALM Adult Leukemia Foundation of the Philippines, Kanser sa Adolescents and Young Adults Community / KAYA Community, The Carewell Community Foundation, Touched by Max Inc, Philippine Alliance of Patient Organizations, UST Hospital Hematology Department, Philippine College of Hematology and Transfusion Medicine, and Takeda Healthcare Philippines Inc., the alliance aims to shed light on the issues faced by Filipino blood cancer patients, increase efficiency to access information and support, and overall improve the experience and outcomes of all those living with blood cancer.
“We can never truly know the gravity of the battle of our survivors, warriors, and their families. Nevertheless, let us continue offering our support even by simply clicking the share button. It only takes a second. A nugget of vital information when shared with many can make a difference. Let’s make it happen with the help of Lymphoma Philippines and the Blood Cancer Alliance of the Philippines,” urges Dr. Clarito Cairo, Department of Health, Disease Prevention and Control Management Bureau, Cancer Control Division, Program Manager. “We at the Department of Health thank you for this, and lend our full support.”

From the humid tropical regions of Southeast Asia to the cold, dry climate of Northeast Asia, the wide expanse of theAsian continent is home to more than half of the world’s population– bringing with them incredible beauty and diversity.
For international beauty brand, Y.O.U Beauty, taking care of Asian skin by formulating products tailored and suited for the various needs has been its goal from day one. This is why, together with renowned Japanese cosmeticresearch and development expert and former R&D Director of Shiseido Global Tadahiro Shimada, Y.O.U Beauty created the Radiance Glow–a skincare series for those with oily, combination and sensitive skin.
“The Radiance Glow series are products we developed for people with oily, combination, and sensitive skin todeliver a gentle-yet-effective brightening solution and help them achieve that healthy glass skin,” said Mike Cabbo, Y.O.U Beauty Brand Manager for the Philippines. “At

Y.O.U Beauty’s Radiance Glow line was formulated in Japan and involves five products that will get you that healthy glass skin glow in as early as 10 Days.
“Asian skin is more prone to sensitivity due to a thinner stratum corneum–making it easily irritated due to harshchemical ingredients in skincare,” Mike explained. “Oily, combination, and sensitive skin are common skin types inAsia, and its diverse weather conditions, as well as genetics, contribute to how our skin behaves and interacts with the ingredients we put on our face. This is why it’s vital for any beauty and personal care players to understandAsian skin conditions and formulate products that will address these concerns.”

Regularly using this multitasking serum results in dewy, hydrated, and healthy skin, lightening post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation from pimples and acne marks and eliminating skin roughness.
