In line with our evolving brand identity, kindly referred to us as InLife (not Insular Life). Thank you!
In the Philippines, cardiovascular disease was the country’s leading killer in 2025, accounting for 19.8% of all deaths, or approximately one Filipino life lost every four minutes. During a media health briefing titled "Closing the Healthcare Gap for Filipinos," The Medical City Clinics Chief Medical Officer Dr. Mariann Almajar, FPCP, FPCC, revealed a glaring reality: heart risks are no longer confined to older age groups, with atherosclerosis quietly accelerating in adults throughout their 30s and 40s.
Compounding this issue, hypertension, high cholesterol, and early diabetes present virtually no symptoms, leaving nearly half of affected Filipinos unaware of their condition until a major health crisis occurs. With out-of-pocket medical spending reaching 41.2% of total national health expenditures, serious cardiac care such as angioplasty or bypass surgery continues to place a heavy burden on family savings and long-term financial stability.
Closing the healthcare gap with global coverage
To address this growing gap between healthcare needs and financial certainty, InLife introduced InLife Global Care, a premium health insurance solution engineered to give Filipinos greater control during critical health events.
Tailored for business owners, senior professionals, and globally minded families, the plan offers up to ₱125 million in annual coverage with cashless service options and access to top accredited healthcare providers in the Philippines and abroad. It offers comprehensive inpatient coverage and essential outpatient and preventive care benefits for important healthcare needs. It is also an essential supplement to one’s Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) coverage such as major hospitalizations, serious illnesses and cancer treatments, medical consultation and diagnostics, and emergency treatment outside areas of coverage, for up to ₱12.5 million, subject to policy terms, conditions, limits, and exclusions.
InLife Global Care has a guaranteed annual renewability up to age 99, and a built-in life insurance protection equivalent to the premiums paid for the covered period, up to age 70 for as long as the plan remains active, with no claims for the covered period. InLife Global Care ensures that a major medical event does not derail family finances, investments, or corporate cash flows.
"Healthcare confidence is knowing that when a serious medical situation happens, you have choices, resources, and someone you can rely on to help you move forward. InLife Global Care aims to provide all these and more, helping those who have worked hard to build their careers, businesses, and family wealth recognize that protecting their health is just as important as protecting their financial future," said InLife Chief Product and Innovation Officer Jose Eduardo O. Ang.
Pioneering preventive wellness through Facial AI
Complementing this high-value coverage, the event provided an exclusive preview of InLife HealthCheck, a preventive wellness tool designed to encourage proactive health monitoring. Powered by remote Photoplethysmography (rPPG) technology and advanced facial AI, InLife HealthCheck allows users to obtain a snapshot of over 30 wellness indicators through a simple 60-second video selfie on a mobile device. By detecting blood flow beneath the skin, this feature empowers individuals to track key health metrics early, making routine wellness tracking accessible long before symptoms appear.
Harmonies in Life: A cultural celebration of life
After conversations centered on protecting health and securing the future, InLife turned the spotlight to another essential part of a meaningful life: the people, culture and experiences that make life worth protecting. Members of InLife’s Amorsolo Circle, an elite membership program for InLife’s most valued policyholders, were treated to Harmonies In Life, a musical performance celebrating Filipino heritage. The Philippine Opera Company presented its award-winning production HARANA, taking the audience on a musical journey through traditional folk melodies, tribal chants, classic kundiman, and contemporary pieces. Honored with the 2024 LEAF (Live Entertainment, Arts, and Festivals) Award for Outstanding Group Performance in a Concert alongside international citations, HARANA highlighted the enduring strength and artistry of the Filipino spirit.
InLife Dreamweaver and Philippine show business Megastar Sharon Cuneta-Pangilinan was also a guest performer, providing a heartwarming breather to a day dedicated to physical health, financial security, and cultural heritage. She received her own InLife Global Care policy from Executive Chair Nina D. Aguas and President and CEO Raoul Antonio E. Littaua.
Achieving total healthcare confidence
Beyond an afternoon of vital health insights and world-class performances, the gathering highlighted a fundamental truth: true well-being encompasses physical and mental well-being, and the certainty of financial protection. InLife Global Care aims to provide this so that when serious medical decisions arise, Filipinos have greater confidence: combining access to world-class care, delivered with a genuine Filipino heart, and backed by InLife certainty.

Ideas often move faster than tools can keep up with them. A meeting finishes, people leave the room, and the whiteboard stays behind, filled with arrows, half-written notes, and shapes that only made sense a few minutes earlier. You take a photo because you have to. What comes next is usually the time-consuming part.
Someone needs to redraw the chart. Someone else has to type up notes. Feedback gets split between screenshots, messages, and follow-up explanations. The OPPO AI Pen is designed for this in-between space, where work slows down not because ideas are weak, but because translating them takes effort.
This article walks through two practical ways the OPPO AI Pen can streamline your everyday work on the OPPO Find N6: converting hand-drawn meeting notes into clear charts and adding direct, visual feedback to documents.
Scenario 1: Turning Meeting Chaos into Clarity with AI Chart
A whiteboard is brilliant for thinking out loud. It’s less brilliant once everyone’s left the room. The usual routine is: take a photo, then spend time recreating the content later so the team can actually use it. The transition from brainstorming to execution shouldn’t be chaotic. With the OPPO AI Pen, you can start with an image and move straight to a polished chart.
Capture What Matters
When the meeting wraps up, take a clear photo of the whiteboard with your OPPO Find N6. If a teammate has already sent you an image of their hand-drawn notes, use that instead. Either works.
Circle and Convert with Your OPPO AI Pen
Machine Learning & Artificial Intelligence
Open the image that contains the hand-drawn diagram. This is where your OPPO AI Pen does the heavy lifting: press and hold the pen button, circle the area you want to convert, and activate AI Chart. You don’t need perfectly drawn lines. AI Canvas can pick up the structure even when shapes are uneven or spacing is inconsistent.
Watch Your Sketch Transform
In just a few moments, the system reads the sketch, pulls out what matters, and builds a clean wireframe. Your OPPO AI Pen helps you turn hand-drawn notes into polished charts, converting rough elements into standard diagrams. Your logic stays intact, just easier to read and share.
Office Supplies
Refine and Personalise
Now make it yours. Fine-tune your chart by editing text and data, and personalise it with styles or colour themes. The result is powerful and flexible editing. You can refine without feeling boxed in.
Dry Erase Boards
If you’d rather work more directly on the diagram, use your OPPO AI Pen to revise the chart by hand. It keeps the process feeling familiar, while the layout stays clean and professional.
Export and Share Instantly
Smart Phones
When you’re ready, export your chart as an image, PDF, PPT, Excel, or XMind file, depending on the chart type. Drop it into a meeting summary, add it to a deck, or send it along to colleagues. With the OPPO AI Pen, you move from whiteboard chaos to shareable clarity without rebuilding the chart from scratch.
Scenario 2: Streamlining Feedback with Global Annotation
Photo & Image Sharing
While AI Chart helps you transform brainstorming chaos into structured clarity, Global Annotation makes it easier for you to provide seamless feedback.
On a phone, feedback usually requires multiple screenshots and separate explanations, which reduces efficiency and clarity. With the OPPO AI Pen’s Global Annotation feature, feedback is added directly to the page, making reviews faster, clearer, and more intuitive.
Accessing the Annotation Mode
Machine Learning & Artificial Intelligence
Open the document or image you need to review. Press the button on your OPPO AI Pen to bring up the Stylus Palette, then tap annotate to start full-screen handwriting mode. Your OPPO AI Pen transforms your screen into a seamless annotation space.
Annotate Without Boundaries
Global Annotation lets you scroll through long pages while you keep writing. Circle a point, add a note, and keep moving. Add notes wherever you like, all while staying in the original layout.
Making Your Points Pop
Change pen strokes and ink colours so your feedback is easy to scan. With the OPPO AI Pen, you can circle content, highlight sections, and annotate directly on the page to clearly organise feedback. Use one colour for corrections, another for questions, and a third for follow-ups. Your meaning becomes clear at a glance.
Sharing Your Annotated Work
When you’ve finished reviewing, tap “Share”. You don’t need a folder of screenshots. Share as a PDF or JPG in a snap, and send the annotated file straight away. Your feedback lands neatly and in context.
Dry Erase Boards
Keeping Work Moving
Whether you’re transforming a whiteboard full of rough sketches into a presentation-ready chart or marking up a lengthy document with precise annotations, your OPPO AI Pen helps you easily handle feedback on work documents and turn whiteboard photos into charts your team can actually work with.
Mobile Phones
You spend less time reconstructing and more time moving things forward.

Philippines, Manila, 29 June 2026 – Federal Express Corporation (FedEx), one of the world’s largest express transportation companies, collaborated with international non-profit Feed the Children to address health challenges by donating hygiene kits to 2,400 grade school children from fishing and farming communities in Bohol and Zamboanga del Norte.
This initiative is part of FedEx Cares, the company’s global community engagement program, and aims to improve the health and well-being of Filipino students ahead of the upcoming school year. A total of 14 FedEx employees supported the effort by assembling and delivering the kits, which include soap, shampoo, face towels, toothbrush and toothpaste - helping children maintain proper hygiene and stay focused on their education.
Beyond providing essential supplies, the program promotes lasting behavior change through school-based orientation sessions in 11 schools, encouraging consistent, daily hygiene practices among students. Studies show that handwashing with soap can reduce diarrheal diseases by up to 30% and acute respiratory infections by up to 20%, underscoring the importance of early education and access to basic hygiene tools. Oral health remains a growing concern, with the Philippine Dental Association reporting that 72% of Filipinos suffer from tooth decay , with school-aged children among the most affected, making it a leading cause of school absenteeism.
“At FedEx, we believe that access to basic hygiene is fundamental to a child’s ability to learn and thrive. Through this initiative, we are not only delivering essential supplies but also fostering healthier routines and stronger foundations for learning,” said Maribeth Espinosa, managing director, FedEx Philippines.

TP employees completed the six-kilometer march from University Avenue to Congressional Avenue in support of equality, dignity, and human rights. Through their participation, TP continues to strengthen a culture built on belonging and reaffirm the company's commitment to fostering a workplace where every individual is respected, valued, and empowered to thrive.
The initiative with Rise Against Hunger Philippines aims to help address
rising child malnutrition cases in the country
FedEx
volunteers from Clark joined Rise Against Hunger Philippines to assemble 10,000
meal kits that will support
public school students in Cebu.
Manila, Philippines, August 28, 2026 – Federal Express Corporation (FedEx), one
of the world's largest express transportation companies, partnered with Rise
Against Hunger Philippines in Cebu to package 10,000 nutritious meals for
underserved communities.
The volunteering activity was held during
Purple Week as part of the FWS Day of Service, which honors the legacy of FedEx
founder Frederick W. Smith and encourages team members to give back to the
communities they serve. A total of 60 FedEx volunteers gathered to package the
meals, which will provide nutritional support to approximately 166 public
school students in Cordova, Cebu, for at least 120 days. Each meal bag contains
rice, dehydrated soy, dehydrated vegetables or fruits, a flavoring mix, and
micronutrient powder fortified with 18 essential vitamins and minerals that
support children's healthy growth, cognitive development, immune function, and
overall well-being.
The initiative addresses an urgent and
worsening child nutrition challenge in the Philippines. According to the Department of Science and
Technology's Food and Nutrition Research Institute's 2025 Updating Survey, stunting among Filipino children under
five rose to 25.3 percent in 2025, affecting one in four children and marking
the first increase recorded since 2015.
"Every child deserves the opportunity
to learn, grow, and reach their full potential, and proper nutrition is an
important foundation for that journey," said Maribeth Espinosa, managing
director, FedEx Philippines. "By collaborating with Rise Against Hunger
Philippines, we are able to support children and families in underserved
communities while contributing to a broader effort to address food insecurity
and improve nutrition outcomes."
“FedEx has been an incredible global partner
in the fight against hunger,” said Sally Bull, Director of Philanthropy at Rise
Against Hunger. “The meals packaged through this latest volunteer engagement in
the Philippines will help nourish children while supporting their education,
health and brighter futures. Together, we're creating lasting impact.”
FedEx and Rise Against Hunger Philippines
previously collaborated to provide 3,600 meals to
Aeta communities in Pampanga. This latest initiative builds on a shared goal to
help address food insecurity and support vulnerable communities across the
country.
To commemorate the FedEx founder, the
Memphis-Shelby County Airport Authority renamed the Memphis International
Airport the Frederick W. Smith Airport. This tribute recognizes Smith’s
unparalleled contributions to the aviation industry, the global economy, and
the city of Memphis, where the FedEx global headquarters resides.
