PhilCare, one of the country’s most preferred health maintenance organizations, gained top recognition at the 18th Philippine Quill Awards.
Leading the list of Quill Awards for the company is the PhilCare Community Quarantine Wellness Index, which won the top prize for communications research category.
The PhilCare CQ Wellness Index looked into the actual state of well-being of Filipinos amid the imposition of the first enhanced community quarantine following the declaration of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020.
A total of 800 respondents from all walks of life nationwide were interviewed through mobile phones to get a big picture of how they responded to the effects of the lockdowns and the pandemic as a whole. The study revealed that Filipinos prayed a lot more while greatly cutting down on vices during the first lockdown. Interestingly also, nearly all respondents back then were most concerned with a possible “second wave” of COVID-19.
The PhilCare CQ Wellness Index was also nominated to receive the top award for COVID communications, a special division in this year’s Quills dedicated to business communication efforts in response to the pandemic.
