Maxi Clean Laundromat Underscores Importance of Product Trust in Starting a Business

Tweet

With any business, the foundation of trust is important. You have to believe your employees, your partners, and of course, the products or services you’re providing. It’s crucial that you can stand behind the product wholeheartedly because if trust erodes, it will be almost impossible to repair.

This foundation of trust is how sisters Claire and Minette started the successful Maxi Clean Laundromat chain in the province of Bulacan. Before everything else, they looked for a business partner that they already know and can rely on. Minette gives her own experience with LG washing machines as an example. “We chose LG because we have an LG washing machine at home that we’ve been using for ten years already. When we started the business, we went for machines that we know are reliable.”

Manny Villagracia, Minette’s husband, handles the technical side of things of the business and is all smiles with how he can manage the machines remotely. “I can diagnose, troubleshoot, and monitor the day to day operations and even assist our laundry care experts to troubleshoot the machine anytime anywhere.” And it’s not just Manny who is happy with the LG Commercial Machines’ wi-fi capabilities. With the Laundry Lounge app, customers can reserve the machines, monitor their laundry, and even do contactless payment with the touch of a button. This gives customers the freedom to choose which machines they want with the specific time span they need. Manny shares how important this feature is. “LG empowers your customer base as if it's their own machine. (It gives them) power at their fingertips”.

When asked about their experience about starting a laundry business, their common answer boils down to trust. You have to find a brand to be your partner for the long run. Minette underscores this point, saying “Choose a brand you can trust because they will deliver in their promise of helping your business.”

Experts call out the need for affordable breast cancer treatment during the launch of trastuzumab biosimilar in the Philippines

Tweet

In response to the prevailing threat of breast cancer in the Philippines, Pfizer has introduced a trastuzumab biosimilar to enable more Filipinos to have access to a more affordable treatment for HER2 positive breast cancer.

Pfizer Onco Summit Day 1 with Dr. Dennis Dioko and Dr. Jay Datukan during the product reveal.

Announced during a recently held Oncology Summit organized by Pfizer and held at Grand Hyatt Manila, Taguig Philippines that was attended by leading healthcare practitioners and Oncology experts, Pfizer’s biosimilar Trastuzumab received the approval of the Philippines Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in March 2022 to bring this innovative treatment option to the Filipino patients. Trastuzumab refers to a monoclonal antibody that is used to treat specific types of HER2 positive breast cancers and stomach cancers.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in the Philippines, especially among women. It contributes a significant burden of disease for Philippine health care. In the Philippines, cancer is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. According to a study conducted by the University of the Philippines’ Institute of Human Genetics, National Institute of Health, 189 in every 100,000 Filipinos are diagnosed with cancer and four Filipinos die every hour or 96 cancer patients every day. One factor that greatly affects patient survival is the high cost of cancer treatment. 1

Biosimilars play an important role in the treatment of cancer, with the ability to both help increase patient access to essential medicines and provide value to the healthcare system by driving market competition that can lower the cost of care. With more than a decade of global inmarket experience, a portfolio of nine approved biosimilar products across different diseases in the U.S. and the broadest biosimilar portfolio for oncology supportive care, Pfizer is proud to be a global leader in biosimilars and at the forefront of this vital healthcare segment.

Dr. Waleed Al Morsi Mohamed El Baramawy, Senior Director, Oncology Medical Affairs, Pfizer Emerging Markets said, ”The entry of Pfizer's biosimilar medicines in the Philippine market is a very positive development. Our biosimilar products have received regulatory approval based on the overall assessment of similarity to an existing biologic medicine. Pfizer uses robust protocols to ensure the same high-quality standards are maintained in its biosimilars as its biologics throughout every stage of the manufacturing process.”

Dr. Maximino Bello III, Head of Oncology at De Los Santos Medical Center and Associate Professor of Medicine, St. Luke’s Medical Center College of Medicine-WHQM said “the financial component of breast cancer in the Philippines is very challenging and cancer can be a significant economic burden for the Filipinos leading to financial difficulties to the families.” He said Pfizer’s biosimilar brand is significantly lower in price than the equivalent reference medication in the market. With the entry of this molecule developed by Pfizer, patients and their HCPs would have comparable treatment options that will prove to be beneficial in their treatment journey.

Speakers during the occasion were leading clinical trialists (Dr. Rubi K. Li, Medical Oncologist and the lead of the St. Luke’s Medical Center Human Cancer Biobank Project and Member of the Training Committee Division of SLMC Medical Oncology and Dr. Priscilla Caguioa, Medical Oncologist at University of Santo Tomas and St. Luke’s Medical Center) who collectively acknowledged that the introduction of a third trastuzumab biosimilar by Pfizer is a welcome development to Filipinos so that patients can avail of a more cost-effective high-quality drug for the treatment of breast cancer. The distinguished speakers were hopeful that with the launch of the new biosimilar, the treatment of breast cancer can become more affordable. Receiving a trastuzumab-based therapy even in earlier stages of breast cancer gives the HER2 positive breast cancer patient a significant advantage compared to those not receiving trastuzumab based therapies.
