In a groundbreaking event held earlier today at the Ynares Sports Complex in Pasig City, Gabay Guro, in partnership with mWell, launched the Philippines’ first and largest Health and Wellness Festival for teachers. This event marked Gabay Guro’s 17th anniversary and introduced a new program focused on the holistic well-being of educators.
With the theme “Teachers Inspiring Change, Building the Country’s Future,” the festival highlighted the vital role teachers play in shaping the future. Gabay Guro underscored the need to prioritize their health and wellness, offering a range of services and activities designed to support both their mental and physical well-being.
The festival featured free health consultations, fitness sessions, and wellness workshops, all aimed at empowering teachers to maintain their health and thrive in their demanding roles. Wearable wellness technology was also showcased, alongside interactive programs led by lifestyle medicine doctors, fitness coaches, and celebrity athletes.
Through its partnership with mWell, Gabay Guro ensured that teachers had access to comprehensive wellness services. mWell, a leading health and wellness app in the country, provides digital health solutions, including telemedicine, fitness tracking, and mental health support. These tools are now readily available to educators, ensuring they can prioritize their health anytime and anywhere with just a few taps on their devices.
“Our teachers play a crucial role in shaping the future of our nation. And they must be at their best for our youth. Gabay Guro’s Wellness Fest is a vital first step in ensuring our teachers’ health and wellbeing is taken care of. mWell makes sure that our teachers get access to a holistic wellness program – from doctor consultations, food and nutrition to preventive health solutions,” according to Chaye Cabal-Revilla, Chairperson of Gabay Guro and Chief Finance, Risk, and Sustainability Officer of Metro Pacific Investments Corporation (MPIC).
The event also offered interactive discussions on mental health, stress management, nutrition, and self-care, focusing on issues that teachers often overlook due to the demands of their profession. Participants enjoyed experiential booths covering various aspects of health, including fitness, nutrition, and telemedicine.
The Wellness Festival brought together wellness experts, celebrity guests, and athletes, with teachers also treated to entertainment and special fitness activities. This FREE event required registration via the Gabay Guro Super App.
