mWell rallies Filipinos to declare self-love with “I Am Well” wellness anthem by Regine Velasquez

 



mWell, the Philippines’ first fully integrated health and wellness app, launches its official wellness anthem, “I Am Well,” in collaboration with Asia’s Songbird Regine Velasquez-Alcasid and award-winning composer Jonathan Manalo. The anthem underscores the importance of self-care and encourages Filipinos to prioritize their health as an expression of love for those around them.

“I Am Well” marks the beginning of mWell’s latest advocacy campaign, inviting every Filipino to embrace wellness not just as a goal, but as a way of life. In a powerful music video, Velasquez will be joined by mWell Celebrity Health Champions to deliver a message of hope, healing, and personal responsibility.


Chaye Cabal-Revilla, President and CEO of mWell and Chief Finance, Risk, and Sustainability Officer of Metro Pacific Investments Corporation, joins award-winning songwriter and record producer Jonathan Manalo in studio as Asia’s Songbird Regine Velasquez-Alcasid records the official “I Am Well” anthem



 

Manuel V. Pangilinan, Chairman of mWell and Chairman and CEO of Metro Pacific Investments Corporation (MPIC), highlights the larger mission behind the project. “Our purpose is to provide Filipinos with meaningful access to better health. ‘I Am Well’ speaks to that mission in the most basic language. Health shouldn't be a privilege. Each Filipino deserves to have a stable foundation upon which they can build better lives."

Chaye Cabal-Revilla, President and CEO of mWell and Chief Finance, Risk, and Sustainability Officer of MPIC, adds, “This anthem is a declaration that every Filipino is worthy of care. With ‘I Am Well,’ we hope to inspire a shift in mindset—one where taking care of yourself becomes an act of empowerment. Through music, storytelling, and technology, we’re walking with every Filipino on their journey to better health.”

mWell’s digital platform brings this message to life through a complete ecosystem of healthcare and wellness services. While mWelloffers teleconsultation services for immediate medical attention, it also champions long-term well-being through accessible digital tools. Users can consult with family doctors, specialists, and mind health experts 24/7, receive e-prescriptions, and have medicines delivered — all through a few taps on the app. 

This advocacy marks a shift toward the importance of preventive health. To support this, mWell offers fitness and nutrition programs, the mWellness Score for tracking physical activity, and the Mind Health Score, a digital tool that helps users monitor emotional, social, and cognitive well-being. With mWellness Wearables — a line of affordable smartwatches and rings — users can also track sleep quality, heart rate, oxygen levels, and more in real time.

Regine Velasquez-Alcasid shares, “I believe that our health is our most important investment. For us to take care of our loved ones, we have to take care of ourselves first. Mind and body must be in sync for us to be truly well. Let's find strength and support in each other so each one of us can truly say, ‘I Am Well.’”

Acclaimed hitmaker Jonathan Manalo, who produced the musical piece, says, “We created this anthem to spread the message of health and wellness across the world. The lyrics were inspired by insights and learnings from mWell users.  It was made from the heart, and we hope it inspires Filipinos to care for their health, wherever they may be.”

Beyond the music, mWell is rolling out community initiatives in partnership with local governments and grassroots organizations to promote holistic, preventive health. mWell continues to bring care closer to the families who need it most. Just recently, a medical mission was conducted in Talim Island, in partnership with the Philippine Coast Guard and the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT), where mWell provided doctor consultation and basic health services to over 300 residents. With the nearest hospital a 30-minute boat ride away, the initiative offered much-needed care for the island’s remote community. In Sulu, mWellalso partnered with DICT for the launch of “BangkaHealth”. Also referred to as “BangKalusugan,” the project enabled the mWell team and barangay health workers on small boats (bangkato deliver house-to-house teleconsultations to residents of house-on-stilts in isolated coastal areas.

“I Am Well” is more than a song. It is a movement—one that redefines self-care, strengthens communities, and inspires every Filipino to claim their well-being and say with pride: I am Well with mWell

From Manila to Seoul: BlueWater Day Spa Marks 20 Years with Global Glow and Local Soul

A new era of wellness begins as BlueWater Day Spa unveils its newest brand ambassadors. From left: Korean actor and ambassador Choi Bo Min and Filipino actor-singer Teejay Marquez pose for the official campaign reveal



For 20 years, BlueWater Day Spa has been that go-to space — the quiet sanctuary in the middle of everyday rush. Known for its curated massage experiences and signature treatments, the spa has helped countless Filipinos recharge, reset, and find their glow again.


Laughter and energy filled the room as BlueWater Day Spa’s brand ambassadors engaged with the crowd during their official introduction. From left: Host Queen Semana shares a fun exchange with Korean actor Choi Bo Min and Filipino actor-singer Teejay Marquez at the 20th Anniversary Media Launch held at The Westin Manila.



Last July 10, BlueWater Day Spa celebrated this milestone and ushered in a new chapter. The event marked the official introduction of two new brand ambassadors: Teejay Marquez, a multi-talented Filipino actor and singer known across Southeast Asia, and Choi Bo Min, a rising Korean actor-idol and current lead in Beauty Empire on GMA and VIU.

Their presence reflects what BlueWater Day Spa has become — timeless in values, yet fully in touch with the now.

Ambassadors Who Pamper with Purpose

When Teejay Marquez spoke on stage, it wasn’t just to charm the room. It was to share something personal: his approach to rest and recovery in a demanding career.

“The Balinese Massage helps me recover after long days on set,” Teejay explained. “I also love the Thai Yoga Massage — it stretches me out and rebalances everything. It really helps me sleep better.”


It’s the kind of insight that resonates with anyone who’s tried to keep up with a packed calendar. For Teejay, making time to slow down isn’t just helpful — it’s essential.

Then came Choi Bo Min, who won hearts not only with his calm charisma, but with his surprising fluency in relaxing.

“The Traditional Filipino Massage was new to me — but so good, I fell asleep halfway through,” he said with a smile (“That’s how good it was.”). “I’d also like to try the Korean HIFU treatment — it’s popular in Korea and helps define the face. That’s something I’m curious about.”

Bo Min’s choices reflect what BlueWater Day Spa has cultivated over time: a mix of authentic local treatments and globally inspired offerings, making it relevant for both Filipino loyalists and international stars alike.

A Legacy of Consistency and Care

Since its founding, BlueWater Day Spa has been known for delivering treatments with consistency, warmth, and professionalism. While many trends in wellness have come and gone, the brand has remained rooted in the belief that taking time to rest is a meaningful choice — not a luxury.

What sets the spa apart is its blend of technique and experience. From Traditional Filipino hilot, to Thai and Balinese massage styles, to modern non-invasive facials like HIFU, each treatment is backed by international training, ensuring high-quality results across locations.

“Bringing in an international ambassador like Bo Min isn’t just a PR move,” shared one insider. “It reflects the truth — that BlueWater Day Spa offers treatments and service standards that meet global expectations.”

As part of the celebration, the spa also announced an Afternoon Promo — with up to 20% off on selected services, available until September 17, 2025, at branches in Greenhills, Banawe-Quezon City, and Estancia Mall-Pasig.

20 Years In, and Still Glowing

Whether you're a regular at their spa theater or someone just discovering the joy of a full-body massage, BlueWater Day Spa has built its legacy around one simple idea: everyone deserves time to pause.

With ambassadors like Teejay and Bo Min leading the way, the brand enters its third decade with a renewed message — calm is power, and caring for yourself is timeless.

BlueWater Day Spa has branches in Banawe – Quezon City, Eton Square – Ortigas in Greenhills, San Juan, and Estancia Mall in Pasig City.
