Study reveals alarming prevalence of perinatal depression among Filipino mothers

0

A recent study led by researchers from Far Eastern University (FEU) has shed light on perinatal depression among Filipino mothers, highlighting urgent gaps in maternal mental health support.

Published in top health journal, the British Medical Journal (BMJ) Open, “Epidemiological investigation of perinatal depression among pregnant and postpartum women: findings from a cross-sectional survey in the Philippines” is a significant milestone. Led by Joycelyn Abiog Filoteo, faculty member at IHSN-Nursing and current Director of the University Research Ethics Office, and Dr. Joemer Calderon Maravilla, FEU adjunct professor and research fellow at The University of Queensland (UQ), it is the first major investigation into perinatal depressive symptoms in the Philippines since the COVID-19 pandemic.

3 in 5 pregnant and postpartum Filipino women experienced clinically significant depressive symptoms

Drawing from a nationwide sample of 856 mothers, 69.1 % of pregnant women and 62.0 % of postpartum women specifically showed signs of perinatal depression, numbers that surpass the global average of 25%.  These symptoms include, but not limited to, psychological distress, suicidal thoughts, sadness, and anhedonia or loss of interest in enjoyable activities.  The researchers reported consistently severe symptoms across pregnancy trimesters and within 12 months postpartum and beyond.

Younger mothers and single postpartum women were found to face even greater risks, pointing to how age and social support play crucial roles in maternal well-being.  Women who had access to adequate prenatal care appeared less likely to report depressive symptoms, reinforcing the importance of accessible and consistent maternal healthcare services. The findings also indicate a need for early mental health support, alongside more integrated public health strategies that address the broader social and economic conditions affecting Filipino mothers.

From Philippine research to global impact

This study is part of the COCOON Global Study, which is a broader collaboration across 15 countries, led by Australia’s national Stillbirth Centre for Research Excellence. In the Philippines, FEU funded and coordinated this effort, drawing on expertise across disciplines including nursing, psychology, epidemiology, and health sciences.

The research team includes Dr. Jose Edwardo Mamaat, Ms. Arbie Diane Flores, Dr. Ana Nelia Jumamil, Dr. Reinalyn Cardenas, Dr. Wilfredo Quijencio Jr., Ms. Mary Ann Bayani, Dr. Nemencio Santos Jr., Dr. Joyce Lisa Acena, Dr. Anna Liza Alfonso, Ms. Mayla Rivera, Ms. Rebecca Guariño, Dr. Rachelle Sarmiento, Prof. Vicki Flenady, Prof. Frances Boyle, Dr. Siobhan Loughnan, and Dr. Alma Trinidad Taragua.

For FEU, the publication represents not just an academic achievement but a step forward in addressing mental health as a national priority.  It provides vital local evidence in an area that has been largely overlooked for decades. The evidence uncovered by FEU researchers paves the way for policies and programs that bolster maternal mental health support systems and improve outcomes for Filipino mothers and their children.

Palawan ProtekTODO Redefines Travel Readiness With its Wide and Affordable Range of Insurance Offerings

Palawan ProtekTODO Travel Insurance, from the trusted Palawan Group of Companies, provides Filipinos with a practical and accessible way to protect themselves while traveling, turning common uncertainties like flight delays, lost luggage, and more  into manageable situations. Many travelers still go without insurance, often seeing it as costly or unnecessary, leaving them unprotected when plans don’t go as expected. Palawan ProtekTODO Travel Insurance bridges this gap with an affordable and straightforward solution for both solo travelers and families, offering plans starting at just ₱39 and coverage of up to over ₱1.5 million for common travel disruptions.

“At Palawan Group of Companies, everything we do is guided by our commitment to serve Filipinos with genuine care. As more Filipinos embrace travel for  family leisure, and new opportunities, we recognize that protection is just as essential as convenience. We aim to make travel protection simple, affordable, and within reach so Filipinos can move forward with confidence, knowing they are prepared for the unexpected,” said Karlo M. Castro, President and CEO of the Palawan Group of Companies.

ProtekTODO Travel Insurance is backed by a strong partnership with Alliedbankers Insurance Corporation as the underwriter, ensuring the expertise and infrastructure needed for reliable coverage. By combining Alliedbankers’ technical capabilities with the Palawan Group’s trusted community presence, the product delivers practical support when it matters most. This was evident when one claimant’s luggage was left behind during a connecting flight, thanks to the efficient claims process enabled by the partnership, he received his payout quickly at a Palawan Pawnshop-Palawan Express Pera Padala branch, turning a stressful situation into a manageable one.

Miss Universe Asia 2024 and certified travel junkie, Chelsea Manalo, emphasized the importance of being prepared when traveling: “Traveling with peace of mind means knowing you’re covered no matter what happens. As Filipinos, we really value every trip, so it’s important to protect it as well. Having travel insurance gives you that extra layer of confidence, you get to enjoy the experience without constantly worrying about what could go wrong. At the end of the day, it’s not about expecting problems, but being ready for them.”

The Bureau of Immigration (BI) reported that it processed a total of 15.6 million passenger arrivals nationwide in 2025, reflecting sustained activity in international travel to and from the Philippines. Travel can involve uncertainties, such as delayed flights, lost baggage, or trip cancellation, that may disrupt plans or cause financial strain. Palawan ProtekTODO Travel Insurance addresses these risks by offering affordable, accessible coverage for both domestic and international trips, helping ensure journeys remain manageable and secure.

“Expanding access to ProtekTODO means meeting Filipinos wherever they are. By combining our nationwide branch network with digital platforms like the PalawanPay app and e-commerce channels, we make travel protection more accessible even for those in remote or underserved areas.

MTerra Solar Powers Up 250 MW, Boosting Energy Supply Amid Global Volatility

0

Meralco PowerGen Corporation (MGEN), through its affiliate Terra Solar Philippines Inc. (MTerra Solar), has successfully energized the first 250-megawatts (MW) of its solar capacity – now operating as a generator and marking the start of its contribution to the country’s growing demand for reliable and clean energy. 

This milestone represents a critical step in the project’s phased development and comes at a pivotal time for the Philippines, as global fuel market volatility driven in part by the current situation in the Middle East, continues to highlight the urgency of strengthening domestic and renewable energy sources. The early delivery of capacity from MTerra Solar reinforces efforts to enhance the country’s energy self-sufficiency and reduce exposure to imported fuel risks. 

“Reaching this milestone reflects the strong execution, collaboration, and dedication of our teams and partners. More importantly, it underscores the role of projects like MTerra Solar in helping secure the country’s energy future at a time when reliability and affordability are under increasing pressure,” said MGEN Renewables and MTerra Solar President and CEO Dennis B. Jordan. 

MTerra Solar was initially authorized to export up to 85 MW of firm power to the grid as part of testing and commissioning activities. With the continued support from the Department of Energy (DOE) and the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP), the facility is now exporting up to 250MW — providing additional capacity to help stabilize supply during a period of heightened system demand. 

During a previous MTerra Solar event, DOE Secretary Sharon Garin emphasized the project’s significance in strengthening the country’s renewable energy pipeline and addressing immediate supply challenges. 

“The initial grid synchronization of MTerra Solar – led by MGEN and Actis – represents a meaningful step towards our transition to a cleaner and more energy-resilient Philippines. Developments of this scale are critical as we navigate current global uncertainties while ensuring long-term energy security,” Secretary Garin said. 

“Beyond its contribution to the renewable energy transition, MTerra Solar plays an important role in supporting the country’s near-term energy requirements. The project’s phased energization enables earlier delivery of capacity to the grid, helping ease supply constraints and supporting efforts to maintain stable electricity prices amid evolving global conditions,” MGEN President and CEO Emmanuel V. Rubio shared.

In addition, MTerra Solar has also energized the first tranche of its battery energy storage system (BESS). Through energy generated from its solar output, the plant has been able to deliver up to 450 MWh of energy to the grid at night. This tranche now represents the largest operational BESS available in the Philippines. 

Following these milestones, the facility will still undergo a series of comprehensive activities in the coming weeks to ensure the safe, efficient, and reliable integration of battery storage with the solar facility. Once fully operational, the integrated BESS will enhance grid stability and enable the dispatch of renewable energy beyond daylight hours, strengthening system reliability while maximizing the value of solar power generation.

MTerra Solar underscores MGEN’s commitment to advancing a diverse energy portfolio that addresses the energy trilemma – ensuring that supply remains sustainable, reliable, and affordable. At full capacity, the project is expected to generate up to 3,500 MWp of solar power, supported by a 4,500 MWh battery energy storage system – delivering clean energy to approximately 2.4 million households.

The project will also avoid an estimated 4.3 million tons of carbon emissions annually, equivalent to removing more than 3 million gasoline-powered vehicles from the road. With Phase 1 on track for completion this year and Phase 2 already under construction, MTerra Solar will continue to scale up its capacity, contributing meaningfully to the Philippines’ renewable energy targets of 35% by 2030 and 50% by 2040.

XERF Xperience 2026: Unboxing the Future of Aesthetic InnovationA Landmark Gathering at Ayala Museum

0

On March 23, 2026, the iconic Ayala Museum became the stage for a transformative moment in Philippine aesthetics as SpectruMed Inc. unveiled XERF, the world’s first multi-frequency monopolar radiofrequency treatment. Guests were immersed in an environment where art, science, and technology converged, each installation, performance, and detail reflecting XERF’s precision, versatility, and innovative design. The museum itself became a living canvas, inviting attendees to explore, interact, and “unbox” the layered capabilities of the device.

XERF: Technology That Elevates Aesthetic Practice

At the heart of the XERF Xperience was the device itself. XERF (eXperience Exponential RF) delivers a breakthrough non-invasive treatment that stimulates collagen production using dual frequencies of 6.78 MHz and 2 MHz. Its patented spider-pattern handpiece allows doctors to adjust the energy depth, shallow, mid, or deep, ensuring optimal results for every patient.

During the live panel discussion, local experts Dr. Rodnie Valerio, Dr. Rai Madrid, and Dr. Joseph Bongalo shared real-world insights on patient selection, protocol optimization, and integrating XERF into modern aesthetic practices, highlighting both clinical and business advantages.

In an exclusive post-event interview with SpectruMed, Dr. Smith also offered advice for Filipino patients:
In this age of aesthetic medicine, there are many choices and trends. Trends are not something mandatory. Please follow what you really want and choose it wisely with great standards.(Watch the full interview here.)

His reflections underscore XERF’s thoughtful design and patient-focused approach, reinforcing why it is both clinically advanced and safe.

Innovation in Action: From Concept to Experience

The XERF Xperience transformed the Ayala Museum into an immersive, interactive journey. Live performances showcased the device’s precision and versatility, while installations invited guests to physically “unbox” XERF’s layered capabilities. Dynamic panel discussions encouraged open dialogue on RF treatment, patient comfort, and technology integration. The XERF Xcelerators, early adopters and trailblazers in Philippine aesthetic medicine, were honored for introducing the device and shaping its impact locally.

SpectruMed’s President and CEO, Cherryl Glazer, also recognized the presence of Cynosure Lutronic representatives Danielle Raballo, Noelle Tsoi, Grace Tsoi, and Junil Jeong, who flew in from Australia to witness the unveiling of aesthetic innovation in the Philippines. Cynosure Lutronic, a medical aesthetics powerhouse with six decades of product innovation, has established itself as a global leader in advanced technology. Through its strategic partnership with SpectruMed, the Philippines now has direct access to world-class expertise and cutting-edge devices, empowering clinicians and enhancing patient outcomes.

More than a product launch, the XERF Xperience 2026 celebrated innovation, collaboration, and education. SpectruMed reaffirmed its commitment to advancing medical aesthetics in the Philippines, providing top-tier technology, expert guidance, and opportunities for clinicians to align with international standards.

For patients, XERF offers a safe, effective, and minimally invasive solution for lifting, tightening, and rejuvenating the skin with minimal downtime. For clinicians, it sets a new benchmark in precision, comfort, and adaptability in RF treatments. Certified XERF clinics across the Philippines are ready to welcome patients and practitioners, opening the next chapter in skin innovation.

Empowered Women, Empowered Learners: How Online Education (OEd) Is Expanding Access to Learning for Filipino Women

0

For many Filipino women, education is often postponed—not for lack of ambition, but because of competing responsibilities. Work, family, and caregiving frequently take precedence, leaving little room for traditional schooling. Yet across the country and even beyond its borders, more women are finding ways to return to learning on their own terms through Online Education (OEd).

Through its fully online programs, OEd has quietly become an option for working mothers, overseas Filipino workers (OFWs), and shift workers who want to continue their education without stepping away from their everyday roles.

Learning Between Shifts, Childcare, and Workdays

For working moms, the idea of going back to school can feel unrealistic. Between managing households and meeting professional demands, fixed class schedules are often impossible to commit to. OEd’s online format changes that equation by allowing learners to study at their own pace, at hours that fit their routines.

Some women log in after putting their children to bed. Others study during rest days or between work shifts. For OFWs, online access means continuing their education even while based abroad—bridging distance through digital learning.

What these women share is a common realization: education no longer has to be paused simply because life is full.

Working Moms, Studying Moms

Among OEd’s learners are mothers who see education as both a personal goal and an example they want to set for their children. Completing Senior High School or enrolling in short courses is not only about credentials—it’s about confidence, self-growth, and longterm stability.

Many say the flexibility of online learning has helped them manage time more intentionally. Without the pressure of daily commuting or fixed classroom hours, they can focus on learning while remaining present for their families.

In this setup, education becomes integrated into daily life rather than competing with it.

Why Flexible Learning Matters for Women

Women remain among those most affected by interruptions in education due to caregiving and work responsibilities. Programs that allow asynchronous learning—where lessons and requirements can be accessed anytime—help close that gap.

OEd’s offerings, including Online Senior High School and Short Courses, cater to learners who want either to complete foundational education or develop practical skills without committing to long-term, on-campus study. These programs are particularly relevant for women seeking to improve employment prospects, reenter the workforce, or simply pursue personal development.

The appeal lies not only in accessibility, but in dignity—education that respects the learner’s time and realities.

Education as Empowerment

For many women, returning to school is an act of empowerment. It signals a choice to invest in oneself, even amid busy schedules and competing priorities. OEd’s role in this process is less about replacing traditional education and more about expanding who gets access to it— and when.

As flexible learning becomes more widely accepted, stories of working mothers, OFWs, and shift workers completing their studies are no longer exceptions. They are becoming part of a broader shift in how education is pursued in the Philippines.

Continuing the Journey

As more women seek pathways that allow them to learn without stepping away from work or family life, online education continues to reshape what’s possible.

0

2GO, one of the country’s leading transportation and logistics solutions providers, convened with key industry leaders and business stakeholders of Southern Mindanao, alongside the Mindanao Development Authority (MinDA) and the Davao City Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Inc. (DCCCII), to reinforce a shared vision of advancing economic growth through stronger partnerships and improved logistics connectivity across the region.

The business forum, entitled “Advancing Mindanao’s Inclusive Growth through Stronger Partnerships and Sustainable Economic Progress,” brought together leaders from government, business chambers, and key industries in a panel discussion focused on regional priorities, logistics challenges, and opportunities to strengthen supply chain connectivity.

Participants included representatives from agribusiness, exporters, manufacturers, logistics providers, and regional government stakeholders—industries that stand to benefit from a more integrated and efficient logistics ecosystem supporting the continued growth of businesses in Davao and across Mindanao.

“Efficient logistics plays a critical role in connecting producers to markets and enabling industries to grow,” said Sharon Musngi-Ngo, Business Unit Head, 2GO Sea Solutions. “By strengthening supply chain connectivity and working closely with partners in government and the business community, we aim to support enterprises in Davao and across Mindanao as they expand their reach across the Philippines and beyond.”

The forum highlighted the importance of collaboration between the private sector and key regional institutions such as MinDA and DCCCII in strengthening infrastructure, improving market access, and supporting inclusive economic development in Mindanao.

2GO continues to strengthen its engagement with partners in the region as it recognizes Mindanao as a key driver of future economic growth in the Philippines. By working alongside MinDA and DCCCII, the company aims to contribute to improving logistics connectivity, enabling businesses to access broader markets, and supporting the region’s continued integration into national and regional supply chains.

As a company with more than a century of maritime and logistics heritage, 2GO brings deep expertise in moving goods and people across the Philippine archipelago. Its operations in Mindanao are anchored in four core business units: 2GO Sea Solutions, 2GO Forwarding, SCVASI (Special Containers and Value-Added Services, Inc.), and 2GO Travel. These units support regional industries through services such as sea freight connectivity, passenger travel, cold chain logistics, ISO tanks for bulk liquids, cross-docking and warehousing, customs brokerage, and last-mile delivery.

“This meeting marks the beginning of a more purposeful collaboration between the private and public sectors,” said Hon. Leo Tereso Magno, Secretary of the Mindanao Development Authority. “With 2GO’s expertise and reach, we can close logistical gaps that hinder trade, scale up local industries, and create an inclusive environment where Mindanao-based businesses can thrive not only in domestic markets but in international corridors as well.”

“Strong collaboration between the public and private sectors is essential to sustaining the growth of businesses in Davao and across Mindanao,” said Dr. Mirasol B. Tiu, President of the Davao City Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Inc. “By strengthening logistics connectivity and improving access to markets, we can empower local enterprises—from exporters and manufacturers to small businesses—to expand their reach, compete more effectively, and contribute to the region’s inclusive economic progress.

2GO maintains a strong logistics presence across Mindanao, with operations in eight key ports including Butuan (via Nasipit), Cagayan de Oro, General Santos, Zamboanga, Dipolog (via Dapitan), Ozamiz, Davao, and most recently Siargao—expanding logistics access to one of the country’s fastest-growing tourism and business destinations.

These gateways support seamless inter-island cargo and passenger movement, strengthening regional connectivity and facilitating the efficient transport of goods and supplies essential to the region’s growing economy.

Through its direct Manila–Davao passenger vessel route, 2GO continues to enhance multimodal connectivity between Mindanao and key economic centers in Luzon and the Visayas, reinforcing Davao’s role as a logistics hub in the south.

OPPO Reno15’s Trinity Engine Powers Performance That Adjusts in Real Time

OPPO Reno15’s Trinity Engine Powers Performance That Adjusts in Real Time

Smartphones today are expected to keep up with everything whether you use it for intense gaming sessions and multitasking between apps to editing content and staying connected throughout the day.

The OPPO Reno15 Series 5G rises to this challenge with its Trinity Engine, a system-level innovation designed to intelligently manage the phone’s performance in real time. By coordinating the CPU, GPU, and memory resources through AI-driven optimization, the Trinity Engine ensures the OPPO Reno15 5G adapts seamlessly to how users work, play, and create – all at the same time.

A Smarter Way to Manage Performance

At the core of the Trinity Engine is OPPO’s AI Full-Scene Scheduler, a technology that studies how users interact with their devices and allocates system resources accordingly. Instead of treating every task the same, the system prioritizes processing power where it matters most. So when it comes to maintaining stable frame rates in games, speeding up app launches, or ensuring smooth transitions when switching between apps, the Trinity Engine has you covered.

This intelligent scheduling also allows the OPPO Reno15 Series 5G to maintain consistent performance even in complex scenarios, such as streaming videos while replying to messages or editing content while browsing social media. By optimizing memory allocation and cache management in the background, the Trinity Engine helps keep the system responsive while also improving overall energy efficiency.

Gaming That Stays Smooth

For mobile gamers, performance stability can make all the difference. The Trinity Engine dynamically adjusts CPU and GPU workloads to maintain steady frame rates and minimize sudden drops during gameplay. This means smoother matches, more responsive controls, and a gameplay experience that feels fluid even during extended sessions.

At the same time, the system works to manage heat and power consumption more efficiently. By balancing performance output with thermal control, the OPPO Reno15 Series allows gamers to stay immersed longer without worrying about overheating or performance slowdowns.

Seamless Multitasking for Everyday Life

Beyond gaming, the Trinity Engine delivers tangible gains in day-to-day multitasking. For users who regularly jump between messaging, video, and productivity apps, transitions feel smoother whether you’re switching from Instagram to YouTube to WhatsApp, or replying to messages while a video plays in the background. It also helps keep file-heavy tasks from slowing everything else down. Sending batches of photos and videos or uploading content online is handled more efficiently through smarter resource allocation, so transfers complete faster while the phone stays responsive.

Performance That Learns from You

What makes the Trinity Engine particularly powerful is its ability to adapt. Over time, the AI scheduler learns user habits and adjusts how resources are distributed. Apps that are used frequently launch faster, background tasks are managed more efficiently, and system performance stays consistent even as usage patterns evolve.

Build to Make Your Moment

From long gaming sessions and social media multitasking to content creation on the go, the OPPO Reno15 Series 5G is designed to keep pace with modern lifestyles. With the Trinity Engine working behind the scenes, the phone continuously adapts to the demands placed on it.

Because in today’s connected world, performance shouldn’t just be powerful.

The OPPO Reno15 Series 5G is now available nationwide at all authorized OPPO Stores. Customers can also purchase online via Shopee, Lazada, TikTok Shop, and OPPO Online Store
