| mWell partners with MindNation to expand access to certified mental health specialists for every Filipino through the mWell app. |
mWell, the
Philippines' fully integrated digital healthcare platform by Metro Pacific
Health Tech Corporation, gives voice to a truth many Filipinos know but rarely
say out loud: sometimes, the happiest-looking person in the room is fighting
the hardest battle alone.
Mental health
stigma in the Philippines remains a significant barrier to care. Rooted in
cultural expectations of resilience, mental health struggles are too often
misread as weakness, pushing individuals to suffer quietly rather than seek the
help they deserve. Deep-seated values like hiya and pakikisama compound
the silence, as many fear bringing embarrassment to themselves or their
families by admitting they are not okay. In the workplace, the stakes feel even
higher: about 75% of Filipinos believe that disclosing mental health concerns
compromises their professional opportunities, the highest rate among ASEAN
countries, according to the International Labor Organization. And for many, the
cost of professional mental health support remains the final barrier.
mWell addresses
all of these barriers head-on, with technology that is accessible, affordable,
and built for real Filipinos.
Chaye Cabal-Revilla, President and CEO of mWell and Chief Finance, Risk, and Sustainability Officer of MPIC
"Mind health is just as important as physical health, and yet for so many Filipinos, asking for help still feels out of reach — whether because of stigma, cost, or simply not knowing where to turn. True well-being cannot exist without both. At mWell, we are committed to making sure that every Filipino has a place to turn to, for their body and for their mind, because a healthier Filipino is a stronger Filipino. We want every person to know that support is there for them, whenever they are ready, and that taking care of their mind is one of the most courageous things they can do for themselves," said Chaye Cabal-Revilla, President and CEO of mWell and Chief Finance, Risk, and Sustainability Officer of MPIC.
MEETING FILIPINOS
AT EVERY STAGE OF THEIR MIND HEALTH JOURNEY
mWell's mind
health services are designed to meet Filipinos at every stage of their mental
health journey, starting from the moment they decide to check in with
themselves.
Available for
free on the mWell app, the Mind Health Score and self-guided modules give users
a private, judgment-free starting point. The Mind Health Score, built on the
scientifically-validated WHO-5 Well-Being Index, helps users understand where
they stand emotionally and mentally, while the self-guided modules use
evidence-based techniques to help manage stress, build resilience, and improve
overall emotional balance, all at their own pace.
When a user is
ready to talk to someone, mWell makes professional support within reach. The
mWell Mind Healthsavers Plan offers a 30-minute video session with a certified
Mind Health Coach that users can avail anytime within 30 days upon purchase.
For those who require a higher level of care, mWell also offers scheduled and
on-demand consultations with coaches, psychologists, or psychiatrists. Both are
available for as low as P499, making it easier than ever for Filipinos to take
that next step without the weight of financial worry.
EXPANDING OUR
NETWORK OF CARE THROUGH STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP
Central to
delivering on this promise is mWell's partnership with MindNation, a global
mental health and well-being organization trusted by top employers, schools,
and government institutions across the world.
Through this
collaboration, mWell is expanding its network of certified mental health
specialists, ensuring that more Filipinos have access to qualified, culturally
sensitive care whenever they need it. The partnership reflects a shared
conviction that mental health support should not be a privilege, but a right
that every Filipino can exercise.
"At
MindNation, we have always believed that mental health support should be
something every person can reach, not a privilege reserved for the few.
Partnering with mWell brings us closer to that vision, expanding the number of
qualified, compassionate specialists available to Filipinos when and where they
need them most. Together, we are not just adding names to a roster. We are
building a stronger, more accessible safety net for the nation's
well-being," said Eizaleen Fusingan-Lappay, PhDc, LPT, RPm, RPsy, Chief
WellBeing Officer, MindNation.
A GLOBAL STANDARD
OF CARE FOR EVERY FILIPINO
mWell's
commitment to accessible digital healthcare has earned recognition on the world
stage. mWell recently won the Global Mobile (GLOMO) Award for Best Mobile
Innovation Supporting Emergency or Humanitarian Situations at Mobile World
Congress 2026 in Barcelona, Spain, marking a back-to-back GLOMO victory
following its 2023 win for Best Mobile Innovation for Digital Life, and making
it the first Philippine healthtech app to win in this category. With this
recognition, mWell joins leading global brands such as Apple, Samsung, Huawei, and
more among this year's GLOMO winners.
The global
accolade is a testament to what mWell has always believed: that technology,
when built with purpose, can transform lives. Its mind health services are the
latest expression of that belief, bringing world-class mental health support
within reach of every Filipino, wherever they are. As one of the top health and
wellness apps in the Philippines, mWell continues to make holistic healthcare
more accessible through innovations that empower Filipinos to take charge of
their health anytime, anywhere.
