We have eight new molecular entities and one device for ophthalmology, and industry-leading 146 projects in the development pipeline, from first to third phase, across multiple disease categories,” she added. To ensure that people living with low vision will have timely and sustained access to diagnosis and treatment, Dr. Edralin said Roche has been working with the Philippine eyecare community “to improve its research capacity, generate real-world evidence, and hopefully, shape our healthcare system to minimize out-of-pocket spending.”

Congratulations to Carlos Yulo for being the second Filipino (after weightlifter Hidilyn Diaz) and first male athlete from the Philippines to win a gold medal for the country in the ongoing Paris Olympics. We at Roche join the nation in cheering on Yulo and all Filipino athletes in the quadrennial Games. #LabanPilipinas
In all my years as a sportswriter, I never had a chance to cover the Olympics. I’m sure that if I did, my heart would swell with pride when a kababayan like Carlos Yulo wins a gold medal and causes our national anthem to play in a stadium packed with thousands of spectators, with millions more watching around the globe. Here is “Caloy” Yulo with my former boss, BusinessMirror sports editor Lorenzo “Jun” Lomibao. Mabuhay ang atletang Pilipino! #Olympics #CarlosYulo #Philippines #Paris2024

We recently unveiled the first-ever Roche Regional Health Forum for the Bangsamoro region in Zamboanga City. With the theme “Healthcare Delivery System for Breast and Cervical Cancer: Challenges and Innovative Goals for Zamboanga City and BARMM Region,” the two-day event drew healthcare professionals, members of the academe, Department of Health (DOH) executives, and Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) government officials in meaningful discussions on the state of healthcare in the region. Dr. Kadil Sinolinding, BARMM Minister of Health, graced the event and encouraged stakeholders to help raise the state of healthcare across the region and its estimated 4.4 million residents. Dr. Diana Edralin, MD, DPCOM, Roche (Philippines) Inc. General Manager for Pharmaceuticals, delivered a short talk on Sustainable Biotechnology for attendees from all over BARMM and Zamboanga City.

Filipinos love extending significant events – think our world-renowned Christmas season – and we at Roche in the Philippines are no different. The local celebration of the Roche Children’s Walk, our largest employee-driven fundraising event, kicked off its 21st year on June 24 with our OneRoche teams from Pharmaceuticals (led by Dr. Diana Edralin, MD, DPCOM), Diagnostics (led by Marco Valencia Sanchez), and Diabetes Care (led by Russell Ibit, CPA,MBA) split into Teams Blue, Purple, and Orange. With the sky and sun cooperating and proudly wearing our white Children’s Walk t-shirts, we marched back and forth down Bonifacio High Street in Taguig City on that early Monday morning to make known our continued commitment to making a difference for children around the globe. A Treasure Hunt got all of us busy searching for the hidden “gems” our organizing team scattered across High Street. When we returned to “base”, UNICEF’s education and international development expert Jukka Tulivuori updated us on how our efforts are helping improve the local education system. And because we are in the Philippines, Roche has stretched our Children’s Walk activities throughout July via various fundraisers. For details on those, stay tuned!
