When the air changes, pay attention to what changes in you.

Poor air quality and haze can affect people differently. A persistent cough, wheezing, shortness of breath, or chest tightness may be easy to dismiss as “just the haze” but a change in your breathing still deserves attention.

Your exposure, symptoms, medical history, and changes over time can help your physician understand what may be contributing to how you feel and what steps may be appropriate.

If air quality is poor, reduce unnecessary exposure and strenuous outdoor activity, keep indoor air as clean as practical, and avoid smoking, va**ng, and indoor smoke.

Most importantly, notice changes in how you feel. If breathing symptoms persist or worsen, speak with a CMI physician.

For your safety: Severe difficulty breathing, significant chest pain, confusion, or bluish lips require emergency medical care.

At CMI, we recognize that supporting neurodivergent children and adolescents extends beyond clinical care. Professional evaluation and guidance can help families better understand individual developmental needs, while meaningful inclusion requires opportunities to build confidence, independence, relationships, and a genuine sense of belonging.

This shared commitment is strengthened through organizations such as Best Buddies Philippines, whose work helps create opportunities for friendship, social inclusion, and meaningful participation for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Building truly inclusive communities requires collaboration among healthcare professionals, families, educators, organizations, advocates, and the wider community.

We thank French Chamber of Commerce and Industry in the Philippines (CCIFP) for providing a platform for this important conversation and Best Buddies Philippines for its continued work in advancing inclusion and belonging.

🎮 When does gaming stop being “just a game”?

It’s not always about the number of hours spent playing.

A more important question for parents is: What is gaming beginning to replace?

Sleep. School. Exercise. Family time. Friendships. The ability to stop.

Gaming can be a healthy and enjoyable part of a young person’s life. But when it begins to take priority over everyday responsibilities, affects relationships, or continues despite negative consequences, it may be time to look more closely.

The goal isn’t automatically to take gaming away. It’s to understand what has changed, what may be driving the behavior, and how healthy balance can be restored.

Dr. Paul Lawrence C. Filomeno, MPH, Addiction & Recovery Medicine and Gaming Disorder Specialist at CMI, shares what families should know about gaming disorder, warning signs to watch for, and when professional guidance may help.

They bring home more than homework. 💚

Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) can spread through households, which makes awareness especially important for older family members.

If you are 50 or older, talk to your doctor about your individual risk and whether RSV vaccination may be appropriate for you. Your age, health conditions, and other personal factors can help guide the recommendation.

Protection starts with understanding what is right for you before exposure.

Ask a CMI doctor about RSV vaccination.

Protection should fit your life, not a checklist. 🍏

Your vaccination needs may change as your life does. Age, health history, work, travel, lifestyle, and previous vaccinations can all influence what may be appropriate for you.

Rather than simply working through a standard list, start with a thoughtful review.

At Centre Médicale Internationale (CMI), your physician can look at your individual health profile and vaccination history, consider your current circumstances, and guide you on what may be appropriate for you.

Whether you are preparing for travel, reviewing your preventive care, or simply unsure if your vaccinations are up to date, start with a conversation with your CMI physician.

We are open even on Sundays.

Recovery may need more than rest.

After an injury, surgery, or period of reduced activity, some muscles may not activate as effectively as they normally would. That can make getting back to comfortable, confident movement more challenging.

At CMI Rehabilitation Medicine, recovery starts with understanding what may be limiting your movement. Your rehabilitation plan is based on assessment, your individual needs, and how you are progressing.

When appropriate, Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) may be incorporated into supervised rehabilitation to help activate selected muscles as part of your treatment plan.

The approach is simple: Assess. Plan. Treat. Review.
Because rehabilitation should be guided by what your recovery actually needs.

🌿 Ask the CMI Care Team how NMES may fit into your rehabilitation plan.

The best time to protect yourself from the flu is before it spreads.

Influenza is more than just a seasonal inconvenience. It can lead to serious illness, hospitalization, and complications even in otherwise healthy individuals.

Because flu viruses change each year, annual vaccination remains one of the most effective ways to reduce your risk of infection, lessen the severity of illness if you do get sick, and help protect those who are most vulnerable, including young children, older adults, pregnant women, and people living with chronic medical conditions.

A simple step today can help protect your health and the people who matter most.

If you're considering your annual flu vaccination or have questions about whether it's right for you, our physicians at Centre Médicale Internationale (CMI) are here to provide thoughtful, evidence-based guidance.

Be healthy for what you love.

Protect yourself from leptospirosis. 🍏

Floodwater and muddy areas may carry **Leptospira bacteria**, which can enter the body through cuts, wounds, or even through the eyes, nose, and mouth.

If you’ve been exposed to potentially contaminated water or soil, don’t ignore the risk. Early medical advice can help determine whether preventive treatment is appropriate.

Know the signs. Protect your health. And when in doubt, consult your doctor.

Pain relief is one part of recovery. Understanding what is causing the problem can help determine what comes next.

At Centre Médicale Internationale (CMI), rehabilitation care begins with an evaluation of your condition, symptoms, movement, and recovery needs. From there, your physician can recommend an appropriate plan of care, which may include therapeutic exercises, Shockwave Therapy, post-treatment icing, or other rehabilitation interventions when clinically appropriate.

The goal is not to try every treatment. It is to identify what may be appropriate for you.

Ask the CMI Care Team about Rehabilitation Medicine and whether Shockwave Therapy may be appropriate for your recovery.

We are open even on Sundays.
