Manulife Philippines launches partnership with Watsons for Better Days health initiative

MANILA, Philippines – Manulife Philippines, the local arm of leading international financial services provider Manulife Financial Corporation, has launched its partnership with Watsons Philippines for a public awareness campaign to promote the importance of nutrition, wellness, and preventive health. Through this campaign, the collaboration aims to enhance the overall health awareness and make preventive care more accessible to consumers in the Philippines.

The partnership, which forms part of Manulife’s Better Days health campaign, centers on empowering people in the Philippines with accessible preventive health solutions, addressing key barriers such as cost and convenience, which often prevent people from prioritizing their wellness. Additionally, Manulife and Watsons will also soon introduce value-adding programs for members of the Manulife community, including its customers, employees, and financial advisors across the country.

“People in the Philippines can picture better days ahead as Manulife supports them in taking charge of their lives through greater health awareness and valuable financial protection,” said Sonali Verma, Chief Marketing Officer, Manulife Philippines. “By collaborating with Watsons Philippines, we look forward to leveraging each other’s network to enable more Filipinos to take proactive steps towards a healthier and more secure future.”  

“Our collaboration with Manulife further strengthens our commitment to inspire holistic wellbeing through our various offerings. Manulife’s nationwide network of colleagues, advisors, and customers enables us to expand our reach and cultivate an even healthier lifestyle for them by providing them easier access to health products,” said Joweehlyn B. Liao, Finance, Property and Health Business Unit Director, Watsons Philippines. 

Launched earlier this year, Better Days showcases Manulife Philippines’ continued commitment to Filipinos’ overall health and wellness. It underscores the importance of financial health with flagship Manulife health and critical illness protection plans Medical Secure and HealthFlex. Medical Secure offers up to ₱5 million in cashless hospitalization coverage, while HealthFlex provides lifetime protection against major illnesses like cancer, heart attacks, and strokes, along with potential dividends and maturity benefits.

Better Days is a health awareness initiative that emphasizes the vital role of health in helping Filipinos lead improved lives and secure their families' financial well-being. Learn more about it here.
