Flu season is coming: Are you and your loved ones prepared?

 

Flu season is coming: Are you and your loved ones prepared?

Medical expert shares ways to stay healthy and protected from the virus

 

Just like that, summer is over, which could only mean one thing: flu season is just around the corner.

As COVID-19 lockdown restrictions continue to loosen up, people are taking the opportunity to go out more often. Many have gone back to work. There are even schools in some areas that have returned to face-to-face classes.

While we are currently feeling the heat of summer, the rainy season will soon take over. It has been observed that during this wet period the highest cases of flu are being recorded.

“After going through waves of a grueling pandemic, taking millions of people by surprise, the last thing we need is to head on to a flu season unarmed. As early as now, we must be ready and prepare for any and all eventuality,” said Dr. Donald Josue, Vaccines Medical Director at GSK.

To make sure the flu virus doesn’t catch you off guard, here are some of the measures you can do today to prepare for the upcoming flu season:

Update your flu vaccines

Making sure you get your updated flu vaccines significantly lowers the risk of contracting the virus. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) a flu shot is recommended annually to ensure individuals are protected from the latest flu virus strains.

Be mindful of social distancing

Because of much relaxed restrictions, it’s easy to forget that we are still very much in the middle of a pandemic. This means we should continue practicing social distancing whenever possible. Just like the virus that causes COVID-19, wearing face masks, keeping a distance from other people, or avoiding going to crowded places are few of the easiest, simplest ways to lessen the chances of catching the flu virus.

Keep your immune system in shape with a healthy diet

According to the Food and Nutrition Research Institute (FNRI), you can boost your resistance by having a balanced diet and maintaining an active lifestyle. By giving your body the right nutrients and exercising regularly, you allow your immune system to perform at peak physical condition. This, in turn, enables your body to resist any symptoms that may arise.

Flu vs COVID-19 symptoms

The flu and COVID-19 share many similar symptoms, which makes it easy to confuse both of them. First thing to do should you feel anything untoward is to not panic. Both flu and COVID-19 can have fever, colds, and cough as symptoms. But the latter can also cause fatigue, loss of smell, and loss of taste. Always consult with a medical professional to make sure you get the proper diagnosis and treatment.

This flu season, make sure you’ve got the leg up against the flu virus. Remember to wash your hands regularly, boost your immune system, avoid large crowds, and get that flu vaccine as soon as possible, because keeping yourself safe is the first step to making sure your loved ones and the community you live in are safe too.

AXA Philippines, She Talks Asia help women 'Feel Seen' at 2022 summit

Meek Villanueva
AXA Philippines Head of Emerging Customers  

 AXA Philippines, She Talks Asia help women 'Feel Seen'

As part of its Women’s Month activities, AXA Philippines, one of the country’s leading insurance providers, was a major sponsor for this year’s She Talks Asia Summit. This event is the flagship program by She Talks Asia, which celebrates women and focuses on empowerment, diversity, and inclusion. This year’s theme, Feel Seen, highlights the value of embracing one’s self-worth and achieving one’s full potential in order to create the change we want to see in the world. 

The virtual summit was attended by women from diverse backgrounds, all with a unique story to tell.  AXA Philippines Head of Emerging Customers Meek Villanueva sat down for the “Stand Up, Feel Seen” forum and discussed how to navigate one’s personal and professional life and become empowered while finding your own voice and purpose. 

“Everybody has their own journey. You don’t have to go the same way because others follow a similar path. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. It’s not going to be easy, but as long as we have the courage to follow our heart and intuition, we will find our purpose and the path that will lead us to success,” Villanueva shared.

With 19 years of experience in various companies in the financial sector in Singapore and the Philippines, Villanueva also shared how working with AXA Philippines, a company that values and promotes diversity and inclusion, has helped her achieve professional success.

“It is also very important and helpful to have a very welcoming workspace like AXA in which all employees, especially women, are treated with value, dignity, and respect, where individual differences are encouraged and celebrated. Aside from building my trust in my own capabilities, having a supportive space in AXA also really helped me to take risks and seize more opportunities,” Villanueva said.

Apart from creating a diverse and inclusive work culture, AXA’s purpose is to act for human progress by protecting what matters. With protection and health being the core of its business, AXA not only helps individuals, businesses, and societies to thrive as a partner they can rely on, but is also committed to acting as a force for the collective good. The company also aims to promote inclusive insurance for vulnerable populations, which was why its Emerging Customers unit was created. Villanueva shared that AXA Emerging Customers’ vision is to make insurance accessible, affordable, and relevant to 4 billion low income individuals around the world who remain vulnerable to unforeseen events.

Mela Habijan, the first-ever Miss Trans Global

Two other notable and empowered women also joined the discussion to share their stories, namely Natasha Mañosa-Tanjutco, designer and co-founder of Kids for Kids Philippines and TAYO Design Studio, and Mela Habijan, the first-ever Miss Trans Global and an active voice of the Trans Filipina community.

She Talks Asia co-founder and wellness advocate Iza Calzado

Iza Calzado, She Talks Asia co-founder and wellness advocate, hosted the event and offered attendees meaningful insights centered on the event theme.

“We get so lost in living our lives, pleasing other people that we often forget to pay attention to the first thing that we are responsible for and that is ourselves, our identity… It’s so important to let ourselves be seen and heard and focus on the things that make us the happiest version of ourselves,” said Calzado.

AXA Philippines continues to partner with various women-led organizations like She Talks Asia to highlight the importance of empowering women and fighting discrimination and biases. 

Even beyond Women’s Month, AXA continues to support gender equality, helping empower women to continue to defy stereotypes and #BreakTheBias. AXA Philippines supports women empowerment as evidenced by its workforce made up of 62% women.

Heads Up Fur-Parents! GCash Now Offers Insurance for your Pets

 

Dogs are one of the best blessings humans can ever ask for. Being greeted with an excited, tail-wagging, tongue-sticking-out pupper is the ultimate mood booster and stress reliever on a busy day. As the saying goes, we don’t deserve dogs for always being there for us. Where we see them as an additional companion, to them we are their world.

However, with a great love for fur babies, comes great responsibility. Whether you are a long-time or new fur parent, you would know it takes a large amount of upkeep to care for your four-legged friends. Raising dogs can be challenging as they require a lot of love, attention, and physical care.

Being a good fur parent is more than just giving baths; it also entails taking them to proper groomers. It is more than providing basic care of food and water, but also ensuring they get the proper nutrients. It is more than deworming and anti-rabies vaccines, but also giving extra supplements and check-ups with the vet when necessary.

As the world opens up and gets back on its feet, people and dogs alike are getting more exposure to the outdoors, which increases health and safety risks. Fortunately, GCash, everyone’s go-to app for payments and financial services, is making moves to support pet owners in showing their love for their dogs by offering affordable, convenient, and comprehensive pet insurance.

“We want to emphasize pet insurance as part of essential pet care to give dog parents a sense of security in cases of unfortunate events. GCash (through GInsure) makes pet insurance more accessible, convenient and affordable, so pet owners can give their fur babies the best protection and care,” said Winsley Royce Bangit, GCash Chief Customer Officer.

With Pet Insure, you can protect both your dogs and yourself as a pet owner, to provide the best care in the face of unexpected circumstances without having to break the bank for every visit to the vet. For only Php267 per month, you can receive full year coverage with 3-in-1 insurance products, and a maximum coverage of Php400,000 for you and your dog. Packages include several items to secure your peace of mind such as: 

●     Medical Reimbursement: In cases that your dog will need to undergo check-ups, tests/scans, surgery, GInsure will cover the expenses based on the covered amount of your insurance plan

 

●     Cruciate Ligament Injuries: These are extremely painful knee joint injuries/ruptures that your dog may possibly get due to repeated trauma or arthritic disease. In these cases, your chosen Pet Insure plan can also cover it so long as it is not an intentionally inflicted injury.

●     Burial Assistance: In the unfortunate circumstance your dog will be needed to be put down due to sickness and/or old age, GInsure’s Pet Insure can help alleviate the added stress of costly burial services
 

●     Owner’s Liability: It cannot always be avoided that your fur baby can cause some accidents. Your insurance can help cover any legal liabilities to 3rd parties due to your dog’s actions

 

As with all GCash services, getting your pet insurance is convenient and hassle-free. In order to qualify, you will need to have a fully verified GCash account, proof of Philippine citizenship or legal residence for foreigners, and a house dog between the ages of 6 months to 8 years.

Pet Insure can be found under the GInsure Marketplace, which is a one-stop shop for all GCash users’ insurance needs including a wide portfolio of plans and partners/providers. Head onto the GCash dashboard and click the GInsure icon. Proceed to the “Lifestyle” category and click on Pet Insure (Dog) to select and avail the best insurance plan.

Get yourself and your fur baby insured today because prevention is always better than cure for both your wallet and your best furry friend.

This has been of greatest importance to parents these past two years, especially now as we emerge from lockdowns that prevented us from enjoying what we want to do with our families outside of home. At present, however, there are growing concerns looming on the horizon (such as the rising prices of fuel, commodities, and essentials) that get parents more concerned about spending their hard-earned money on the more important needs instead of the favorites that their families enjoy.
