“…Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and stroke have continued to be the major causes of death in the Philippines for more than four decades. Hypertension (HTN) is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and stroke and has been linked to the mortality of tens of thousands of Filipinos each year (Castillo et al, 2020). Bang et al (2017) study showed that women have more functional impairments than men.…”

“…Even in city provinces like Santiago City, high blood pressure is placed first, and it was also written that cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and stroke have continued to be the major causes of death in the Philippines for more than four decades. Hypertension (HTN) is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and stroke and has been linked to the mortality of tens of thousands of Filipinos each year (Castillo et al, 2020). This was also correlated with Bang et al (2017), where the largest stated chronic diseases are hypertension, cardiovascular-related diseases, gastrointestinal diseases, and even musculoskeletal disorders.…”

City of Santiago, Isabela, is otherwise known as the “Queen City of the North” and the only independent component city in region 2 that substantially contributes to the overall production and competitiveness of the region. This study aimed to determine the influence of the state of healthcare to the economic competitiveness, identify the determinants that contribute to the demand for healthcare, discover the factors that affect the choices of consumers to healthcare services, and measure the effect of healthcare inputs on the level of mortality rate in the City of Santiago, Isabela, Philippines. Primary and secondary data were utilized, and even employed descriptive and inferential statistics for the analysis. This study discovered that the competitive index has a significant positive impact on the total annual patients and healthcare facilities while the annual healthcare expenditure of the City of Santiago is insignificant. The demand for healthcare services arises because of demographic, medical-related, and socio-economic factors. Moreover, the prime factor influencing residents' acquiring healthcare services is the quality itself. Lastly, the mortality rate has a significant inverse impact on the number of general practitioners and medical specialists in the city, while the number of hospital beds showed a significant positive effect.

The Philippine Society of Hypertension (PSH) took part again in the annual May Measurement Month 2019 (MMM19) blood pressure (BP) measurement campaign to raise awareness of hypertension especially in those who are not aware of their condition. The MMM19 standard protocol designed by the International Society of Hypertension was used during screening. These included the collection of basic data on demography, lifestyle, and environmental factors. Standardized sitting BP measurements were taken two to three times, using an automated BP apparatus and were inputted either in the MMM19 app or data were recorded in paper form and manually transferred to Excel spreadsheets by encoders supervised by the PSH. A total of 89 941 participated through opportunistic convenience sampling. After multiple imputation, a total of 47 925 (53.3%) participants had hypertension (≥140/90 mmHg or on antihypertensive medication). Of this number, 31 151 (65%) were aware that they had high BP and 30 120 (62.8%) were on antihypertensive medications. Of the 30 120 participants on antihypertensive medications, only 18 373 (61.1%) had controlled BP (<140/90 mmHg). Being overweight or obese were significant predictors of high BP. Other predictors of high systolic BP and diastolic BP were alcohol intake, smoking, and a previous history of hypertension in pregnancy, while pregnant participants had significantly lower BP. The MMM19 campaign succeeded in raising awareness of high BP in our country, and the opportunistic sampling enhanced a sense of people empowerment by their knowing how easy it is to detect high BP and thereby enabling the prevention of long-term health complications. The higher BP control in the MMM19 hypertensive individuals possibly attests to the success of the previous MMM17 and MMM18 campaigns.
