22 Sep Janine Gutierrez Gifts iCare HMO Plans to Siblings Diego, Jessica, and Maxine
When actress and iCare HMO brand ambassador Janine Gutierrez surprised her siblings with their own health plans, the gesture captured not just a family’s playful dynamic but also the deeper meaning of care.
In a series of Instagram Stories, Janine’s brother Diego opened an envelope containing what appeared to be an iCare HMO kit. Inside was the member guide featuring Janine on the cover, holding up a phone with the iCare mobile app on display while another hand showed the iCare health card. Diego looked amused, briefly holding up the booklet and asking, “Sino ’to?” as he recognized his sister on the cover.
In separate clips, her sisters Jessica and Maxine were equally surprised to receive their cards, engaging in lighthearted banter with Janine as they processed the unexpected gift. The moment was playful, candid, and unmistakably rooted in Janine’s desire to look after her family.
A Family of Legacy
Janine and her siblings Jessica, Diego, and Maxine are children of actress Lotlot de Leon and Ramon Christopher “Monching” Gutierrez. They belong to a family tree that reads like Philippine entertainment history. Their maternal grandmother, the late Nora Aunor, is regarded as the country’s Superstar, while their paternal grandmother, the late Pilita Corrales, is celebrated as Asia’s Queen of Song.
Growing up in this lineage meant being immersed in artistry, but it also came with the awareness of the fragility of life behind the spotlight.
Grief and Renewal
Janine has been candid about her grief following the successive deaths of her grandmothers Nora Aunor and Pilita Corrales. In an interview earlier this year, she admitted she was “still healing” from the painful losses. These experiences brought her closer to her family and underscored the importance of health, security, and preparation.
It is against this backdrop that her gesture of giving HMO coverage to her siblings takes on greater resonance. It is a way of ensuring that they are protected, turning personal loss into an act of proactive care.
Health as a Lasting Gift
Janine’s role as iCare’s brand ambassador goes beyond endorsement. Her decision to share iCare coverage with her siblings demonstrates what the company’s mission is all about: empowering Filipinos to safeguard their health and their loved ones.
By handing over those envelopes and cards, Janine was not just giving something tangible. She was giving her siblings the assurance of being prepared for life’s uncertainties.
A Universal Reminder
The Gutierrez siblings may come from a family of icons, but their playful exchanges over health cards echo a universal Filipino truth: caring for family always comes first.
For Janine, this moment was both lighthearted and profound. For iCare, it was a reflection of its mission in action. And for the rest of us, it was a reminder that one of the most meaningful gifts we can give our families is the ability to say yes to better health.
