GPCCI RTD Advances Stroke Care Collaboration in the Philippines


Key stakeholders from the medical, government, and private sectors convened to advance stroke care delivery in the country and promote multisectoral cooperation during a roundtable discussion organized by the German-Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Inc. (GPCCI) last 26 September 2025. This event is in partnership with the German Embassy in Manila and Boehringer Ingelheim Philippines.

Discussions from representatives of the brain and spine specialty centers, patient organizations and advocacy groups, national and local government, and private sector shed light on the need for expanded benefits coverage, supported initiatives and approaches for stroke prevention and diagnosis, emergency management, and enhanced patient rehabilitation and long-term care.

Mr. Mathias Kruse, Deputy Head of Mission at the German Embassy in Manila, underscored the value of creating platforms for meaningful dialogue to create integrated, whole-of-society approaches that can strengthen stroke care implementation across the country.

Government representatives highlighted the importance of the alignment of the national stroke policy framework with that of the Universal Healthcare Act noting that such integration is key to delivering efficient, accessible, and equitable healthcare services especially for stroke patients.

"Support – whether through financial benefits or collaborative efforts – is vital in implementing, expanding, and improving the programs and services for stroke patients.” said Dr. Cristina Macrohon-Valdez, President of the Stroke Society of the Philippines. She also emphasized the organization’s ongoing efforts to assist institutions and individuals through training and certification programs, while reinforcing the Hub and Spoke Models for medical centers across the country.

Philippine Health Insurance Corporation Social Insurance Officer II Ms. Suzette Ann Sarmiento shared valuable insights on the expanded financial benefits and coverage for stroke patients and their care. “PhilHealth is continuously collaborating with our colleagues in the healthcare sector to improve these stroke care benefits especially in expanding the coverage beyond Metro Manila to reach more communities in the provinces.” added Atty. Exequiel Sy of PhilHealth.

Dr. Giovanni Paolo Nazario, Medical Advisor at the Boehringer Ingelheim Philippines, shared insights from the private sector, noting an important shift toward coordinated initiatives and programs to align and reinforce the government policy pillars. “This shift can build a stroke care ecosystem that is inclusive, resilient and future ready.” he further added.

Sharing her personal experience and patient advocacy insights, Ms. Karen Alparce-Villanueva of the Philippine Alliance for Patient Organizations stressed the importance of making healthcare accessible, affordable, and inclusive not just for patients but their families as well. “It's about fairness, dignity and the simple belief that everyone deserves a chance to live a healthy life. We have the tools, we have, the knowledge, what we need now is the will to act together with purpose and compassion. Let's build health systems that include everyone, protect everyone, and serve everyone, starting now.” she said.

An open forum followed the insightful discussions, allowing participants to raise concerns and propose improvements to strengthen the national stroke policy and its financial coverage. Key topics included facility and personnel accreditation, capacity development for stroke care, enhancement of benefits packages, policy dissemination and alignment, and the need for further research and benchmarking. Stakeholders collectively agreed that a coordinated, multisectoral approach is essential to improving the quality of care delivered to stroke patients nationwide.

“Stroke care is multidisciplinary, and our exchanges today are a testament to our shared commitment to bringing the Philippines one step closer to quality stroke care,” said Dr. Lennie Lynn Chua-De Castillo of the University of the Philippines – Philippine General Hospital, in her synthesis. “With all the insights shared, we can now revisit stroke care—the policy, its benefits package, and existing programs—and align these with the needs of our communities. Let’s continue to support one another and do what we can, in our own ways, to improve stroke care in the Philippines.”

Give the gift that travels far into the future

 


This Christmas, we know your heart is back home.

After all, wala nang mas hihigit pa sa pag-uwi para sa pamilya. But while you can’t be with your family now, you always find ways to make your presence felt: a balikbayan box lovingly and carefully filled with pasalubong that would surely make them feel important, a remittance sent with love, or video calls squeezed in between long hours of work.

 

But as the years pass, you will surely find yourself wishing for something more, not just joy this holiday season, but something that will last a lifetime for the people you love.

 

A gift that goes beyond Christmas

As an OFW, supporting your family is both a blessing and a responsibility. And sometimes you ask yourself:

Paano ko mas mapagaganda ang kinabukasan nila? What will happen to my family if something happens to me, especially when I am far away?

 

We worry, we confront the hard realities of life, and these should spur us on to plan for the future. We do all these because we love.

 

It has been the same with InLife for the last 115 years. For InLife, love should be expressed not only during special occasions like Christmas, but beyond, and most especially, in the everyday difficult decisions that protect the family’s future. Love should make others feel a sense of security and belonging, and love should empower one to take action. Because let’s face it, life is tough. But worry not, InLife’s love is tougher.

 

“We hope families begin honest conversations about planning for their future, whether for the children’s education, possible critical illness that could affect the family’s quality of life, the parents’ retirement, and even the untimely passing of the family’s breadwinner,” said InLife Chief Marketing Officer Gae L. Martinez. “Here we call it Love in Life: making family-focused choices today so you can strengthen the family and build a lasting legacy. Of course, you can confidently do these because InLife is here for you.”

 

I-Pinoy: Your partner in building a better tomorrow

Hindi matutumbasan ang saya nating Pilipino na makapiling muli ang mga mahal natin sa buhay hindi lang sa Pasko, kundi habambuhay.

 

And until that day comes when you can come home for good, I-Pinoy is here to help you build a secure and sustainable future for your family. I-Pinoy is InLife’s dedicated program for OFWs, designed to help them achieve their financial dreams so they can return home sooner. Through partnerships with private and government organizations, I-Pinoy provides financial wellness programs nationwide, participates in OFW events, and conducts Financial Literacy sessions with recruitment agencies.

· For your children – Abundance
A smart way to secure their education through guaranteed payouts and life protection.

· For yourself – iProtect, Wealth Assure Plus, Resilience
Plans that protect your income, build savings, and help cover serious illnesses because your well-being matters.

· For your parents, (and even for yourself) – Retire Assure
A meaningful gift that offers guaranteed monthly cash payouts and life insurance, giving one comfort and dignity in retirement.

A Gift only you can give

This Christmas, you can give your family something deeper than material gifts and celebrations: peace of mind that lasts far beyond the season. After all, your love knows no distance, and it goes beyond the present.

 

For more info on how you can find the greatest gift of protection for your family, visit www.inlife.com.ph, or talk to your InLife Financial Advisor. Abundance, Wealth Assure Plus and Resilience are available on a guaranteed issue offer until December 31, 2025.

The company expects continued growth as more Filipinos shift to digital-first financial planning and look for flexible protection options.

 

Established in 2009, BPI AIA has grown into a trusted financial protection partner for BPI customers, supported by a nationwide bancassurance presence, a professionally trained sales force, and a portfolio of solutions designed to meet the evolving needs of Filipinos across life stages.

 

Over the years, BPI AIA has launched pioneering, tech-enabled solutions such as PamilyaProtect, a microinsurance product that can be purchased online, which recently hailed as Digital Insurance Initiative of the Year by Insurance Asia; InstaProtect, an affordable yearly digital plan; and recently, Prime USD, a US dollar–denominated protection solution.

Leading with Purpose and Empowered People

BPI AIA CEO Karen Custodia, who has been leading the company through a period marked by rapid digital modernization and renewed business momentum, emphasized that the company’s success stems from its people and its mission.

 

“As we mark 16 years, we are reminded that our purpose goes beyond providing insurance. It is about helping Filipinos build a better everyday life and a more secure future. We will continue to simplify protection and health solutions, deliver meaningful value, and design solutions grounded in empathy, insight, and real-life needs,” Custodia said.

 

“Our long-standing partnership with BPI allows us to meet customers wherever they are — in-branch, online, or through mobile experiences. Together, we are focused on evolving how protection is accessed and understood, so more families can plan with confidence, clarity, and convenience.”

 

BPI AIA has accelerated its digital roadmap, strengthening tools used by Bancassurance Sales Executives to offer faster, more personalized, and seamless advisory and policy servicing.

 

Innovating for the Next Generation of Policyholders

In the past year, BPI AIA introduced multiple market-relevant solutions including InstaProtect, an affordable digital insurance plan available online starting at Php488 annually, and Prime USD, a US dollar-denominated solution designed to help customers preserve and grow wealth while securing long-term protection.

 

These launches support the company’s ambition to close protection gaps, strengthen financial confidence, and make protection attainable, especially for emerging segments, young professionals, digital natives, young families, and overseas-driven dreamers.

 

“Insurance must evolve with real life,” Custodia added. “Our role is to meet customers both digitally and emotionally with solutions that are easy to understand, relevant to their goals, and aligned with how they make decisions today.”

 

As it enters its 16th year, BPI AIA continues its mission to innovate responsibly and champion a client-first culture anchored in education, partnership, digital efficiency, and long-term value creation.
