Heart attacks aren’t just something that happens to people overseas or to the elderly. In the Philippines, heart disease remains the leading cause of death, and heart attacks are a major part of that statistic. 

Ever reached the peak of intimacy and realized something’s missing? For some men, that “missing” moment is a sign of retrograde ejaculation—a condition where semen enters the bladder instead of exiting through the penis. While it doesn’t cause pain, it can be confusing, especially if you’re trying to conceive or simply want to understand what’s happening to your body.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) might sound like a distant, medical term, but for many Filipinos, it hits close to home. Whether it's a parent with high blood pressure, a tito recovering from a stroke, or a neighbor rushed to the hospital after chest pain—heart-related illnesses affect families in every barangay. In fact, cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the Philippines, according to the Philippines Statistics Authority. It includes conditions like heart attacks, stroke, and hypertension—and many of them are preventable.

Diabetes has become an increasingly prevalent condition in the Philippines, affecting millions of Filipinos each year.

It is one of the fastest-growing health concerns globally—and increasingly so in the Philippines.
