As the country celebrates Women’s Month, the SM group continues to strengthen its commitment to equal opportunity and meritocracy, including empowering women in the workplace.  As part of its core business practices, these principles foster an inclusive workforce that help fuel the company’s sustained growth and long-term success.

Elizabeth Anne “Lizanne” Uychaco, Executive Vice-President for Corporate Services, Group Diversity Officer and Chief Risk and Compliance Officer at SM Investments shared how “Empowering women through equal opportunity and meritocracy drives performance and promotes growth of organizations.”

At SM, the commitment to equal opportunity is evident with 64% of the workforce being women, and 58% of these women holding senior leadership positions. This gender balance is crucial in creating a dynamic and forward-thinking workplace.

According to Leny Hernandez, SM Retail Inc.’s Senior Vice-President for Human Resources, “Retail has a ratio of 60/40 (female versus male employees). In terms of females in the senior manager and executive positions, females are twice as many as their male counterparts. We have a number of women in Merchandising, Marketing and HR. That’s women-power in Retail.”

SM Investments’ “evidence-based progress” on gender equality was also recognized among the leaders in Transparency and Reporting during the 2024 Philippines Women’s Empowerment Principles Awards of the United Nations.

SM also understands the vital role that women play in advancing sustainability, not only for the business and its employees, but for the planet as well.

From SM Hotels’ Tela Tales campaign to SM Store’s Green Finds Tarp project, SM’s initiatives and efforts across the group are grounded on supporting and championing social and economic inclusion where they partner with women leaders and women groups that align with the SM value of social entrepreneurship.

As SM continues to evolve and adapt to a rapidly changing world, the company remains committed to creating an environment where equal opportunities are available to all, to drive business success while making a positive societal impact—today, and for future generations.

FIVE FACTS ABOUT WOMEN’S WELLNESS

By

Women’s Month is an important event that celebrates women’s contributions to society. Beyond recognizing their achievements, this month is also a significant platform for addressing critical issues on women empowerment, including women’s wellness. 

A study by the global medical technology company Hologic revealed that the Philippines lags behind its Southeast Asian neighbors when it comes to women’s healthcare, placing second to the lowest in the region.

Supporting women’s health is the key to advancing their economic power. When women have access and options for their health, they are more physically and mentally ready to build and manage their own financial capability as well as contribute to their family’s finances. 

This Women’s Month is the perfect opportunity to raise awareness on the state of women’s health in the country. 

Here are five facts that every Filipina must know about their wellness: 

The country suffers from “period poverty.” 

Menstrual health advocates and public health experts highlighted the urgent issue of period poverty in the Philippines. More than the inadequate access to menstrual products and hygiene facilities, period poverty is also about the lack of discourse, information, and education on the importance of menstrual health. 

The stigma surrounding menstruation makes it difficult for people, especially young girls, to participate in conversations about menstruating, preventing them from learning healthy hygiene habits. 

Nearly five million Filipinas struggle with PCOS. 

Around 4.5 million Filipinas have polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a hormonal condition affecting the ovaries, resulting in irregular, unusual or very long periods. This hormonal imbalance commonly causes acne, weight gain, and excessive hair growth. It also increases one’s risk of long-term complications, such as diabetes and ovarian cancer. 

While there is no known cure for PCOS, patients can manage their symptoms and potential complications through a combination of medication and lifestyle changes, including diet, exercise and stress management. 

Severe period pain is not normal, despite what many believe. 

Many women do not seek medical attention despite suffering from excessively painful periods, believing the pain is a normal part of menstruation. However, severe period pain is not normal and might be a symptom of a serious health condition, such as PCOS. 

One common condition that causes secondary dysmenorrhea or extremely painful period cramps is endometriosis. According to the annual census of the Philippine General Hospital, endometriosis accounts for 15% to 20% of obstetrics and gynecology consults annually and 7.9% of surgeries for benign gynecologic diseases.

Uterine fibroids are another common condition among Filipinas. Fibroids are non-cancerous growths that develop in or on the wall of the uterus. A study published by the Philippine Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology revealed 77% of women have uterine fibroids. Between 30% and 40% of these women show symptoms such as bleeding between periods, pain during intercourse, and periods that last longer than normal. 

Good mental health is harder to achieve for Filipino women. 

A 2023 study found that Filipino women find it more difficult to achieve good mental health than men. This is because women face “unique pressures and worries” that contribute to their poor mental health. These include gender bias in the workplace and higher demands to perform domestic duties compared to men, especially childcare. 

This finding on women’s poor mental health highlights the need for women-specific comprehensive health services and plans, including counseling. To further transform mental health responsive communities, the government implemented strategies across different agencies and educational institutions. 

Breast cancer is among the top leading causes of death among Filipino women. 

Recent data from the World Health Organization (WHO) shows that breast cancer ranks eighth in the leading causes of death among Filipino women. In 2022, the WHO reported 33,079 breast cancer cases, among the highest in Asia. Among these cases, 30.06% were perimenopausal, 23.03% were menopausal, and 19.28% premenopausal. 

Several studies have demonstrated poor survival outcomes for young Filipino breast cancer patients, from ages 40 years and below. These figures underscore the need for breast cancer awareness among Filipinos of all ages, as well as learning screening practices for early detection. Getting a cancer health protection plan is also a prudent course of action for those with a history of cancer in the family. 

As your partner beyond a lifetime, Sun Life Grepa supports the efforts of various agencies in addressing the concern on women’s health through its various health insurance solutions, such as Sun Grepa Cancer Care, a specialized health protection plan that helps one prepare financially should cancer strike. This product provides guaranteed cash benefits in case one is diagnosed with any of the covered early- and late-stage cancer conditions. These benefits help support medical bills, such as diagnostic procedures and treatment expenses, so one can focus on recovery.

Acer once again dominated the Philippine market for consumer and gaming notebooks in 2024, capturing 35.7% of the total market share, according to third-party survey data by GfK. Acer secured a 34.2% market share in the consumer notebook category and a 40.6% market share in the gaming notebook category.

Your home should be your ultimate comfort zone—where clean air, optimal temperature, and energy efficiency come together effortlessly. Upgrade your home with smart technology designed for comfort and efficiency. Select an AC that ensures clean air and optimal temperature while incorporating advanced purification and intelligent controls, making smart living a part of your everyday life.

TCL Electronics, a global leader in consumer electronics and the World’s Top 2 TV brand, embodies “The Art of Smart Living” by seamlessly integrating innovation and intelligent technology. Their latest offering, the TCL FreshIN 3.0 air conditioner, exemplifies this vision, redefining home cooling with a focus on aesthetics, energy efficiency, and advanced air purification.

Designed to transform living spaces, the TCL FreshIN 3.0 delivers intelligent cooling, optimized air circulation, and exceptional energy efficiency. It ensures a healthier and more comfortable home environment, especially during peak summer months.

“We’re thrilled to finally launch the new TCL FreshIN 3.0 Air Conditioner, a CES 2025 Smart Fresh Air Technology Innovation Award winner! This international accolade solidifies TCL Air Conditioner’s commitment to leading the way in intelligent and healthy air conditioning solutions for consumers worldwide,” says Joseph Cernitchez, TCL Philippines Brand Manager.

Control Your AC Effortlessly with Just Your Voice

Losing the AC remote, dealing with dead batteries, or simply not wanting to get up to adjust the temperature are common frustrations for many households. TCL Electronics addresses these everyday inconveniences with the FreshIn 3.0 air conditioner, featuring Offline Voice Control that allows users to operate their AC hands-free—even without an internet connection.

With a simple voice command like “Hey TCL, lower the temperature, ” you can adjust settings instantly, whether in bed, cooking, or holding a child. Unlike many smart home devices that rely on Wi-Fi, Hey TCL works offline, ensuring seamless control at all times.

Google Assistant and Alexa compatibility allow for even more convenience for those integrating smart technology into their homes.

Experience FreshIN Technology for Cleaner, Cooler Air

After hours of air conditioning, indoor air can become dry and stale, making it difficult to relax and sleep comfortably. With traditional air conditioners, this is a common issue—cold air circulates but lacks freshness, leaving you feeling stuffy and uncomfortable. The TCL FreshIN 3.0 solves this by actively bringing in fresh outdoor air, ensuring a cool, well-oxygenated, and balanced environment all night long. And with ultra-quiet 16dB operation, fresh air flows as softly as a whisper, letting you sleep peacefully without any disturbance.

City living comes with its share of challenges—pollution, dust, and allergens constantly find their way indoors. That’s where QuadruPuri Filters step in. This advanced four-stage filtration system, featuring a preliminary filter, silver ion antibacterial layer, HEPA high-efficiency filter, and high-density filter, effectively traps everything from large dust particles to microscopic allergens and bacteria. Whether you’re working from home and need to stay focused or simply want a fresher, healthier environment, the FreshIN 3.0 optimizes oxygen levels, helping you feel more alert, energized, and refreshed throughout the day.

Pet owners will also appreciate how FreshIN Technology removes odors while maintaining comfortable humidity levels, preventing that dry, artificial AC feel. And with BreezeIN micro-hole wind blades, the cooling experience is gentle and natural—no more harsh, direct cold blasts.

No need to worry about filter maintenance. TCL FreshIn 3.0 has a Lifespan Reminder alert when it’s time for a change, ensuring the air remains clean and fresh with minimal effort.

Save More with T-AI Energy-Saving Technology

During the peak of summer, keeping your home cool can feel like a battle between comfort and rising electricity bills, especially for big families or elderly homeowners who keep a close eye on energy costs. In Southeast Asia, where hot weather lasts most of the year, air conditioning is a necessity, but the expense can quickly add up. That’s where TCL FreshIN 3.0’s T-AI Energy-Saving Technology makes a difference, helping you stay cool while keeping your electricity bill in check.

With T-AI Energy-Saving, your AC intelligently adjusts cooling based on usage, reducing energy consumption by up to 37+% without compromising comfort. Thanks to the TCL Home App, you can track your savings in real time, giving you full control over your energy use at a glance.

Beyond saving money, energy-efficient appliances like the FreshIN 3.0 also contribute to a more sustainable and eco-friendly lifestyle. By reducing unnecessary power consumption, you’re not just lowering your bills—you’re also helping protect the environment. With TCL’s advanced technology, you can enjoy modern, responsible living without sacrificing comfort.

2GO, the country’s leading sea travel provider, is brewing up an exciting new experience with the launch of its first-ever exclusive and limited-time Summer Barista Workshop, “Brew Like a Pro.” This limited-time onboard interactive barista experience offers a unique opportunity for passengers to immerse themselves in the art of coffee-making while enjoying their 2GO sea journey.

This one-of-a-kind, full-day onboard activity provides a hands-on introduction to coffee beans, grind levels, and the proper use of coffee machines to craft café-quality beverages. Participants can conveniently enroll in the one-day workshop once onboard.

“Coffee culture is deeply ingrained in our daily lives—whether it’s starting the day with a hot cup or bonding over an iced latte with friends. Through this workshop, we want to inspire a deeper appreciation for every brew by showing passengers how to create their own cup of happiness,” said Roland Sunga, AVP for F&B, Ancillary, and Hotel Operations at 2GO Travel.

2GO Travel remains committed to providing a holistic and memorable sea travel experience, going beyond its hotel-like accommodations and mall-like amenities. By introducing engaging onboard activities, 2GO continues to elevate and enrich the journey for its passengers.

As part of the barista experience, participants will receive a basic barista uniform, an exclusive Café 2GO pin, and a Certificate of Attendance upon completing the workshop.
