07 May Sun, Laughter, and Crowned Moments: iCare’s 2025 Summer Outing Was a Celebration of People and Pride

Summer isn’t just a season—it’s a feeling. And at iCare, it’s also an opportunity to bring people together in celebration of hard work, shared goals, and the colorful personalities that make the company thrive. 

Last May 3, 2025, Insular Health Care, Inc. (iCare) hosted its annual summer outing at Lucia’s Tagaytay in Silang, Cavite, gathering employees for a day of camaraderie, team spirit, and well-deserved celebration. Organized by the Human Resources Department in coordination with the Employee Engagement Committee, the outing is part of iCare’s continued investment in a workplace culture that values and empowers its people. 

Recognized as the best affordable HMO in the Philippines, iCare continues to champion employee engagement while delivering on its promise of quality, accessible healthcare. 

Operational Excellence and Team Celebration 

While the majority of employees were able to attend, a dedicated group remained in the office to support iCare’s 24/7 customer care operations. This reflects the company’s ongoing commitment to both employee experience and uninterrupted service delivery, ensuring that members continue to receive the support they need at any time. 

Highlighting Diversity and Excellence 

A standout feature of the event was the Summer King, Summer Queen, and Summer Empress contest, a fun yet meaningful showcase of employee creativity and confidence. This year, iCare introduced the Summer Empress category in celebration of its LGBTQI+ community, reinforcing its inclusive workplace culture. 

Congratulations to this year’s winners: 

• Summer Queen: Janila from the Enrollment and Billing Department 

• Summer King: Russel from the Finance Department 

• Summer Empress: Johnny from the Claims Department 

Each winner was recognized for their authenticity, engagement, and embodiment of iCare’s values in a celebration that brought together all corners of the organization. 

A Culture That Cares 

The annual summer outing is one of several initiatives that reflect iCare’s commitment to employee well-being and engagement. The company continues to build a values-driven, inclusive, and high-performing workplace. As iCare grows its impact and expands its reach, it remains guided by a belief that a strong internal culture leads to stronger outcomes for members and communities alike. 

iCare is proud to be a leading provider of affordable healthcare solutions in the Philippines, and equally proud to be recognized as a company where people come first.
