This recognition is a welcome affirmation of our work. We regard this award as a responsibility to set a higher standard for companies in the Philippines, as well as in Asia. This inspires us to perform better, so that we may live up to the distinction bestowed on us.”
Ms. Cabal-Revilla, MPIC Chief Finance, Risk and Sustainability Officer and mWell CEO, was cited as Asia’s Best CFO (Investor Relations) in the 12th Asian Excellence Awards 2022 Corporate Governance Asia and received the Management Excellence in Finance Award from BizNews Asia.
She has also been named as the Best Sustainability Officer in The Asset ESG Corporate Awards 2022, which recognizes the top teams in investor relations and sustainability.

Cognizant of the need for better access to healthcare, she led the launch of the country’s first fully integrated health and wellness app – mWell PH – to support the Filipino’s holistic well-being by providing accessible professional consultations, wellness programs, products, and medicine delivery services. mWell seeks to democratize healthcare by making it accessible to more Filipinos anytime, anywhere. She also inspired the creation of the National mWellness Day, the first online digital medical mission where Filipinos can avail of free consultations from mWell’s volunteer doctors. She also pioneered the mWell OnTheGo, a portable digital clinic in a backpack, to bring healthcare access closer to remote communities, especially the Indigenous Peoples. The bag contains a tablet with a pre-installed mWell app, a solar panel and battery, and an mWellness gift box that has a thermometer, oximeter, and sphygmomanometer.
“Sustainability and the passion for inspiring positive change have always been the backbone of the work that we do, allowing us to do good while doing well. I gratefully share this recognition with my MPIC and mWell Family, who share the same purpose of making a difference in the lives of many. We are committed to bolstering our sustainability efforts and be an instrument to our country’s sustainable development,” Cabal-Revilla said.
With her empowering leadership, MPIC also bested giants in the global business arena and clinched the most coveted Finance for the Future Award. After a rigorous three-stage judging process, MPIC emerged as the winner in the “Embedding an Integrated Approach” category in the solely merit-based sustainability accolade.
