MANILA, Philippines -- Allianz Philippines
recently received a presidential citation from the Philippine Heart Association
(PHA) for staunchly supporting its advocacy projects geared toward creating
awareness and lay education about cardiovascular health. This is the second
year that the company received the award. It is the only non-pharmaceutical
company to have done so.
“The numbers are alarming when it comes to
the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases. Angina, for one, has
caused 17.3 million deaths each year. As a company that advocates health
protection, we consider it our duty to do our share in promoting awareness
about heart health,” said Gae Martinez, Allianz Philippines chief marketing
officer, who received the award on behalf of the company during the 50th PHA
Annual Convention at the Conrad Hotel in Manila.
Allianz Philippines was the Official Life
Insurance Partner of the PHA in its celebration of Heart Month last February.
For two years running, the company has also been the PHA’s partner for its Camp
Braveheart. Conceptualized in 2007, the program seeks to encourage children who
were born with heart disease and have undergone surgery to live a normal life
like other kids. During the said event, Allianz conducted a financial literacy
exercise for the participating kids’ parents.
Also, last February, Allianz Philippines
sponsored the PHA’s Heart Fair in Tacloban as well as the launch of their
Angina Awareness campaign in K. Kangleon, Palo, Leyte. Angina is one of the
symptoms of coronary heart disease and is the world’s number one killer,
according to the World Health Federation. Cardiovascular disease is now
considered an epidemic that is projected to cause 52 million deaths in 2030
unless measures are taken.
Allianz and the PHA have, likewise, partnered
in a nationwide Health Caravan that went to the cities of Cagayan de Oro,
Davao, Iloilo, Cebu, and Manila. PHA doctors delivered lectures educating
bankers and agents about angina and the 502100 campaign, which encourages
people to live a healthy active lifestyle.
More recently, Allianz and the PHA launched
the Fit Heart Minute videos, which aims to teach Filipinos to be more active. They
consist of one-minute exercise videos featuring Dr. Rey as well as fitness
coaches and TV host Jim and Toni Saret.
