When Medication Isn’t Enough: Understanding Resistant Hypertension

As conversations around hypertension continue to grow, health experts are calling for a shift from reactive management to more proactive care

Hypertension remains one of the leading health concerns in the Philippines. Despite wider access to medication, a growing number of Filipinos are still unable to keep their blood pressure under control, raising concerns among health experts about a more complex and under-recognized stage of hypertension.

With one in three adults, or an estimated 16.8 million Filipinos, living with high blood pressure, the gap between treatment and sustained control is becoming more apparent. Health experts are encouraging more consistent blood pressure monitoring and regular reassessment of treatment plans, particularly for patients who continue to experience elevated blood pressure despite medication. Gaps in awareness and follow-up care can delay the identification of patients who may require further evaluation, increasing their risk of long-term complications.

FedEx Simplifies U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission e-filing for APAC Businesses as New Requirements Take Effect

Six in ten APAC exporters are calling for centralized compliance guidance and digital documentation tools to keep U.S.-bound consumer product shipments moving

Federal Express Corporation, one of the world’s largest express transportation companies, is strengthening its support for Asia Pacific businesses, including the Philippines, as they prepare for the upcoming mandatory U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) e-filing requirements, set to take effect on July 8, 2026.

The new requirement mandates all U.S. importers of CPSC-regulated products to e-file the data elements needed for clearance at the time of entry into the United States. This is aimed at improving safety oversight and compliance transparency. U.S. importers of CPSC-regulated products must include the full CPSC PGA message set for each product imported. To streamline the process, importers may pre-file information about the product in CPSC’s Product Registry, which allows importers to transmit an abbreviated CPSC message set.  For Philippine exporters, this marks a significant shift in when that product information is made available, prior to shipment.
