Teachers are central to shaping the future, inspiring values, and building brighter tomorrows.
Recognizing their crucial role, Gabay Guro recently celebrated its 17th anniversary with the country’s first Health and Wellness Festival for Teachers in partnership with mWell at the Ynares Sports Complex in Pasig City.
With the theme “Teachers Inspiring Change, Building the Country’s Future,” the Gabay Guro Wellness Fest highlighted the importance of teachers' mental and physical health.
The event combined entertainment and wellness with wearable wellness technology, lifestyle medicine doctors, fitness coaches, and celebrity athletes.
In collaboration with mWell, it also provided teachers with free health consultations, fitness sessions, and wellness workshops.
Focused on holistic and preventive care, mWell's services empower teachers through digital tools offering round-the-clock access to healthcare.
Interactive discussions on mental health, stress management, nutrition, and self-care complemented experiential booths that showcased fitness, nutrition, telemedicine, and wearable technology.
“Our teachers shape the future, and it’s essential they stay at their best for our youth,” said Chaye Cabal-Revilla, Chairperson of Gabay Guro and President and CEO of mWell.
“This Wellness Fest ensures teachers’ health and well-being while empowering them with tools for sustained wellness.”
Digital tools for health monitoring
Central to the wellness experience was mWell’s digital platform, featuring:
- Mind Health Score: A WHO-based tool for emotional and mental well-being.
- mWellness Score: Tracks daily physical health through activity, sleep, and steps.
- Wearables Integration: The mWell Watch and Rings for enhanced health monitoring.
These tools help teachers manage stress, enhance emotional balance, and track physical fitness through gamified challenges and personalized insights.
For 17 years, Gabay Guro has provided over 3,000 scholarships and built classrooms in underserved areas.
The organization continues to bridge education and well-being through initiatives like its Gabay Guro Super App, which supports teachers with digital learning tools and career resources.
The Wellness Fest marked a milestone in addressing the holistic needs of educators while underscoring Gabay Guro’s enduring commitment to their growth and success.
The day concluded with entertainment from celebrity guests Kevin Montellano, Teacher Georcelle and the G Force, and volunteer athletes like PLDT High Speed Hitters and the Meralco Bolts.
