June 23, 2026 Coca-Cola Europacific Aboitiz Philippines Partners with iCare to Support Workforce Healthcare and Wellbeing
In today’s evolving business landscape, healthcare has become more than an employee benefit. It has become a critical investment in people, operational resilience, and long-term sustainability.
As healthcare costs continue to rise globally, companies are placing greater importance on ensuring that their workforce receives reliable, accessible, and sustainable healthcare support. Among those taking a decisive step forward is Coca-Cola Europacific Aboitiz Philippines (CCEAP), which has partnered with iCare, a top 3 HMO in the Philippines, as part of its ongoing commitment to supporting the healthcare and wellbeing of its employees nationwide.
The partnership was brought together through the strategic guidance of Paul Chuatico, President of New Canaan Insurance Agency (NCIA).
“In supporting CCEAP in identifying a new healthcare partner, we at NCIA knew we needed an organization that genuinely cares, could respond with agility, and had the capability to support a large and dynamic workforce. From our very first meeting with iCare, it was immediately clear that they were the right fit,” Chuatico shared.
“Beyond healthcare services, iCare’s approach aligned closely with what CCEAP values in its partners. They listen, they adapt, and they deliver.”
CCEAP, the official bottling and distribution partner of Coca-Cola products in the Philippines, operates one of the country’s largest beverage manufacturing and distribution networks, with 18 manufacturing facilities nationwide and thousands of employees supporting production, logistics, distribution, and commercial operations. The company traces its roots in the Philippines back to 1912, making the country the first Coca-Cola market in Asia.
As one of the country’s major manufacturing employers, CCEAP continues to invest in initiatives centered on sustainability, operational excellence, and employee welfare. The partnership with iCare forms part of this broader commitment to creating a healthier, more resilient, and better-supported workforce.
For organizations operating at such scale, dependable healthcare support has become essential not only in protecting employees, but also in enabling families, communities, and businesses to thrive.
CCEAP President & CEO Chris Pesigan emphasized the importance of accountability and trust in building partnerships that directly impact people.
“At CCEAP, our people remain at the heart of our business. This partnership reflects our purposeful approach to championing employee welfare and development, guided by our People-First culture.”
“Through this partnership, we continue to foster a healthy workplace of empowered teams, and uphold reliability and service excellence, day in and day out.”
For iCare, the partnership marks another milestone in its continuing transformation into a stronger and more future-ready healthcare organization capable of supporting large-scale industries and employers nationwide.
Founded in 1991, iCare entered a new phase of growth following its acquisition by Singapore-based Value-Based Healthcare in 2023, driving significant investments in people, technology, and healthcare systems, all anchored on a unique DNA that blends Singaporean operational efficiency with compassionate Filipino service.
“At iCare, we believe that strong organizations are built on healthy, protected, and empowered people. Our partnership with Coca-Cola Europacific Aboitiz Philippines reflects a shared commitment to supporting the workforce through sustainable, responsive, and future-ready healthcare solutions,” said Geronimo V. Francisco, President and CEO of iCare.
“As we continue transforming the organization, we remain deeply committed to delivering healthcare solutions anchored on compassionate service, operational excellence, and long-term value for our partners and their employees.”
Over the past several years, iCare has significantly expanded its healthcare ecosystem and operational capabilities to support growing partnerships across industries, including manufacturing, FMCG, IT-BPM, BPO, hospitality, retail, real estate, and professional services.
Today, iCare serves more than one million members nationwide and continues to strengthen its healthcare network and operational capabilities in response to the evolving needs of employers and their workforce.
As organizations continue navigating the realities of rising healthcare costs and evolving workforce needs, the partnership between CCEAP and iCare reflects a growing commitment among industry leaders to prioritize employee wellbeing through accessible, sustainable, and dependable healthcare solutions.
