World Games Special Olympics 2015

Essilor Vision Foundation supports Philippine delegates to Special Olympics Social Impact Summit 2015

Essilor Vision Foundation, in support of the World Games Special Olympics 2015, emphasizes the importance of healthy vision in sports and in helping intellectually challenged individuals work towards making critical social changes, fighting discrimination and intolerance; and generating acceptance in the community.

“Healthy vision is critical for every individual, including intellectually challenged persons who, like many of us, have aspirations and goals in life. Helping them see the world better can make a huge difference in what and how much they can achieve. This is the reason why Essilor is a huge supporter of Special Olympics. We’re happy to support the Special Olympics Social Impact Summit where our Philippine delegates can participate and share ideas on how to achieve critical changes in society,” says Dr. Emelita Roleda, Essilor Philippines general manager.

The Social Impact Summit is a six-day international convention that will take place during the Special Olympics World Games in Los Angeles, California from July 23 to 28, 2015. The summit aims to gather youth leaders who will generate and implement actionable ideas that can educate, motivate and activate individuals, particularly the youth, towards accepting and including people with intellectual disabilities in community life and activities.

As part of its commitment with Special Olympics to help improve the treatment towards people with intellectual disabilities, the Essilor Vision Foundation fully supports the 2015 Special Olympics Social Impact Summit, which features the lead Philippine delegates Brina Maxino and Sashi Montaňa as co-chairs.

During the Social Impact Summit, 12 mentors—including professional athletes, entrepreneurs and social innovators—from Special Olympics partner organizations will train the youth leaders of Generation Unified on interviewing, public speaking and presentation. These youth leaders will gain an in-depth look into the challenges facing people with intellectual disabilities and how to equip themselves to influence change. As the finale of this six-day Summit, the top projects will be pitched to a star-studded panel of judges, who will select a project to execute based on the level of innovation and potential impact on generating acts of acceptance and inclusion in their communities. The Summit will end with a presentation of the Generation Unified Manifesto, which is a declaration of social change by the youth leaders of Generation Unified.

For the Social Impact Summit, Sashi and Brina are presenting “Eye Can Play: A Healthy Eyeffair,” which uses an “edutainment” approach to help Special Olympics athletes, their caregivers and their families learn more about the importance of healthy vision. “Eye Can Play: A Healthy Eyeffair” will make use of vision test and hand-eye coordination activities like interactive computer games, puzzles, giant word search, like ring toss and balloon darts to help discover any eyesight problems in the athletes that may require vision solutions. This project will be one of many to be presented during the 2015 Social Impact Summit that will integrate Special Olympics’ Opening Eyes program, which gives vision and eye health screening for Special Olympics athletes. Support for Sashi, Brina and their project “Eye Can Play: A Healthy Eyeffair” can be seen in social media, through fan signs with the hashtag “#EyeSupportSashiBrina”, the official Social Impact Summit hashtag “#SOGenUin”, and the hashtag for key supporter “#EssilorPH”.

Brina and Sashi’s “Eye Can Play: A Healthy Eyeffair” shares the same thrust with Essilor Philippines in improving lives by improving sight. The focus of “Eye Can Play” is on Special Olympics athletes who rely heavily on their eyesight during competitions. The games and activities of the fair are geared towards identifying and solving any vision problems they may encounter, given that research shows that people with intellectual disabilities are 10 times more likely to develop long-term vision problems. In the same way, the global Essilor campaign ‘Seeing the World Better’ seeks to raise public awareness on the importance of healthy vision and make everyone act upon protecting and valuing their eyes.

With the help of Essilor Vision Foundation, the 2015 Special Olympics-Social Impact Summit will change the way people see individuals with intellectual disabilities, and make a great leap towards universal social acceptance and inclusion in schools and communities.

Essilor has been supporting Special Olympics for more than 10 years by providing athletes with prescription eyewear, protective sports eyewear and important health counseling on proper eye health and vision care to more than 100,000 athletes. Special Olympics is the world’s largest sports organization that fosters acceptance and inclusion of all people, regardless of ability or disability, through the power of sports.

Hypertension Alert

Pharex

Work-related stress may reduce quality of work, life

Hypertension and stress are usually directly related

While the essence of hard work earned many individuals success, prosperity and recognition in their chosen field of endeavor, the inability to balance work and life may increase stress levels, reducing the quality of their output and more importantly, make them more prone to many maladies like hypertension and heart disease.

The Grant Thornton International survey reported that 76 percent of Filipino business owners are highly stressed, pointing out that taking on heavy workload often is the most significant driver.

“Prioritizing work over quality of life could only do harm than good,” said Tomas Marcelo G. Agana, III, President and CEO of Pharex Health Corp. “The quality of your work, for one, will be affected. When that happens, everything will follow.”

Several studies emphasized that an employee’s lifestyle affects his or her work output. In fact, a research conducted in 2010 revealed that unhealthy lifestyle choices make workers less productive and even increases work absenteeism.

Agana added, “When the quality of work goes down, chances are, your job will be affected. Poor quality of work will only result in poor output and this will affect everyone, be it your employees or your customers.”

But more than just the output, work-related stress could also lead to a host of health concerns like hypertension, which is a risk factor for heart disease.

In the Philippines, 28 percent of adults have hypertension, a known chronic disease which causes the heart to work harder than necessary to pump blood to the rest of your body. It quietly damages the body, causing poor quality of life and can even lead to a fatal heart attack.

“Stressful situations like overworking yourself may cause the blood pressure to spike,” Agana said. “While it is unlikely for people to stop working, steps can be taken to mitigate the effects of stress at work like improving sleeping habits, eating healthily, and drinking alcohol moderately.”

Agana added, “Every Filipino, regardless of his or her age, is at risk of hypertension especially when they are subjected to stress at work every day. This is why working people, most especially those who are building their careers, should bear in mind that maintaining a healthy work habit is imperative to save lives.”

For people who are already diagnosed with hypertension and other chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, maintaining a healthy work habit is enough to prevent illnesses.

“Being diagnosed with hypertension or cardiovascular disease is not the end of the world. People with these diseases only need to take care of themselves more by following their doctors’ advice, especially when it comes to taking their medicines,” Agana said.

With this, Pharex HealthCorp., the most prescribedgeneric brand,ensures that Filipinos in the working group—particularly those who have chronic diseases—have access to affordable healthcare through high-quality medicine.

“People with hypertension or heart disease should learn to comply with their medication schedule to improve the quality of their lives,” Agana emphasized. “For them to continue giving their families a better life, they should start improving theirs.”

Pharex, short for Pharmaceutical Excellence, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pascual Laboratories, Inc. which offers affordable medication to Filipinos. The company serves as the exclusive marketing, sales, and distribution arm of Pascual Laboratories, Inc. (Pascuallab), one of the country’s fastest growing pharmaceutical companies for the past decade.

To date, Pharex is gaining ground as an advocate of consistent healthy living, highlighting the importance of high-quality medication made for every Filipino regardless of his or her work priorities.

Agana concluded, “If you want to improve your lifestyle, you need to balance all aspects in your life. Then, you’ll be surprised how your stress-free work translates to more business opportunities in the future and more importantly, the quality of life you deserve.”
