Riding on pickleball’s growing popularity, PLDT Home Life and mWell gathered celebrities, media personalities, and PLDT Home Fiber customers for an afternoon of friendly competition, camaraderie, and wellness.
More than a sporting event, the gathering brought to life the brands’ shared advocacy of encouraging Filipinos to “Make Health Part of Your Plan,” promoting a holistic approach to wellness that includes regular physical activity, preventive healthcare, mental well-being, and convenient access to medical professionals.
The event also highlighted an important message: staying healthy is not only about exercising or eating right. It is also about building everyday habits that help individuals and families better care for their physical and mental well-being.
Making health part of everyday family life
Building on this commitment to wellness, PLDT Home Life has partnered with mWell, the Philippines’ first all-in-one health and wellness super-app, to make healthcare more accessible, convenient, and affordable for Filipino families.
Through the mWell Family Plan 399, PLDT Home Fiber subscribers can access a comprehensive suite of digital healthcare and wellness services for only ₱399 per month, covering up to four family members.
The plan encourages families to take a more proactive approach to managing their health, making it easier to consult medical professionals, monitor wellness indicators, and seek timely healthcare advice without leaving home.
“In today’s challenging economic environment, embracing one’s physical and mental well-being is essential for every household. In times like these, we cannot afford to wait for illness to strike before paying attention to our health, and possibly make things worse. That’s why good health has to start at home,” said Evert Chris Miranda, PLDT Home Vice President and Head of Home Digital Services.
“With mWell Family Plan 399, PLDT Home Life continues to round out Filipinos’ lifestyles, bringing proactive wellness straight into the Filipino living room and empowering families with tools that provide total peace of mind without stretching their budgets.”
Wellness and healthcare for the whole family
Designed to make preventive healthcare part of everyday family life, the mWell Family Plan 399 offers several benefits:
Unlimited doctor consultations. Up to four family members can enjoy unlimited on-demand teleconsultations with licensed general practitioners, making it easier to seek medical advice whenever needed.
Mental health support. Families also gain unlimited access to certified mental health coaches, recognizing that emotional and mental well-being are essential parts of overall health.
mWell Fam Dashboard: A centralized digital platform allows subscribers to monitor, track, and manage the health metrics of up to four family members, making it easier to stay informed about their loved ones’ well-being.
Digital wellness monitoring: The mWellness Score tracks physical activity, steps, inactivity, and sleep quality, while the Mind Health Score helps users monitor their emotional well-being and practice mental wellness exercises.
Free mWell Prestige Watch: The plan includes a smartwatch that connects with the mWell app to help monitor health indicators such as heart rate, steps, and sleep quality.
Personal Accident Insurance: The primary subscriber also receives annual, replenishable ₱20,000 Personal Accident Insurance for added financial protection.
Together, these benefits give families convenient tools to stay informed about their health and build healthier habits.
“For many Filipino families, one medical emergency can put years of hard-earned savings at risk. Ang kalusugan ang pinakamahalagang puhunan ng bawat pamilya, because our ability to earn a living, care for our loved ones, and build a better future depends on it,” said Chaye Cabal-Revilla, President and CEO of mWell and Chief Finance, Risk, and Sustainability Officer of MPIC.
“Through mWell Family Plan 399 with PLDT Home Life, we are making it easier for families to take care of their health before a crisis happens. By bringing doctor consultations, mind health support, and the mWell Fam Dashboard together in the mWell app, we help families understand how their loved ones are doing, spot changes in their wellness, and seek timely medical advice. Caring for the family’s health should be part of everyday life.”
A shared commitment to healthier Filipino families
The celebrity pickleball event reflects PLDT Home Life and mWell’s commitment to making wellness more relevant and accessible to Filipinos.
By bringing together sports, entertainment, and digital healthcare, the partnership encourages families to embrace a more holistic approach to health, combining active lifestyles with preventive care and convenient access to medical professionals.
“Healthcare should be a fundamental right, not an overwhelming financial burden,” stressed Gary Dujali, mWell Chief Revenue and Marketing Officer.
“Through this partnership with PLDT Home Life, we are happy to further democratize access to top-tier medical doctors, mental health professionals, and health monitoring tools. For less than the cost of a single face-to-face consultation, an entire family now has access and can stay protected all year round.”
From enjoying a friendly game of pickleball to monitoring everyday wellness and consulting healthcare professionals, PLDT Home Life and mWell are encouraging Filipinos to take small, meaningful steps toward healthier living.
Because when it comes to caring for ourselves and the people we love, good health should always be part of the plan.
