In their own words: why the people building Malaya United and CarciScan believe a healthier Philippines starts with reaching every woman, wherever she is.
President & Chief Executive Officer, Malaya United Trading Inc.
Malaya began with a simple conviction: access to cervical cancer prevention should not depend on a woman's income, address or distance from a major hospital.
A strong diagnostic test is only the beginning. Prevention happens when a woman can enter the screening pathway with dignity, when her specimen is handled responsibly, when a qualified laboratory produces a reliable result, when that result reaches her clearly, and when the next appropriate clinical step is available.
We are building Malaya around that complete responsibility. Our role is to connect HPV DNA testing with community access, qualified laboratories, secure logistics, digital coordination, result delivery and patient navigation. The model is being designed for Philippine realities, from major urban centers to rural, island, upland and hard-to-reach communities.
We understand that national scale cannot simply be announced. It must be earned through evidence, regulatory readiness, accountable partnerships, clinical safeguards, sustainable financing and measurable implementation. We intend to grow in that order.
Our ambition is a Philippines where no screening-eligible woman is left behind because prevention was too distant, too complicated or disconnected from follow-up. We invite public authorities, healthcare providers, laboratories, community organizations, technology partners and responsible investors to help build a pathway that women can enter, complete and trust.
These reflections were freshly drafted for this page from each leader's verified role and background, and are marked as drafts pending their personal sign-off. They are not existing quotations.
Chief Medical Officer
As a nurse, I have cared for patients across three health systems, and one truth holds everywhere: a screening result only matters if it is accurate and reaches the woman with care behind it. At CarciScan, I hold our laboratory process, our sample handling and our patient communication to that same clinical standard, without exception.
Director, Social Impact & Community Engagement
My earlier work as a paramedic meant meeting people on some of their hardest days. That shapes how I think about screening access: it has to reach the communities furthest from a clinic, not only the ones closest. Our social impact work exists so no woman is left out because of where she lives.
Director, Warehousing & Logistics
As an engineer who has worked on public infrastructure, I know access is only real when the last mile actually works, on time, every time. My role is to build the warehousing and distribution backbone so a screening kit reaches a community reliably, not occasionally. Reliability is the whole point of this work.
Vice President & Treasurer
I have spent over a decade building businesses in real estate and hospitality across two countries, and the lesson holds everywhere: sustainable growth is built on discipline, not shortcuts. As Treasurer, my responsibility is to make sure Malaya grows at a pace our finances, our partners and our patients can trust.
Director & Executive Secretary
Over twenty years of managing businesses has taught me that good intentions need good execution behind them: clear records, accountable processes, people who know their roles. As Executive Secretary, I make sure Malaya's governance is as dependable as the science we are building our reputation on.
Non-Executive Director
As a Non-Executive Director, my role is to bring a perspective that is not caught up in day-to-day operations. I ask the questions that keep us honest about risk, pace and long-term consequences. Malaya's mission is generational; my job is to help make sure our decisions along the way earn that horizon.
Non-Executive Director
Independent oversight matters most when a company is growing quickly, and Malaya is growing quickly. As a Non-Executive Director, I bring a perspective from outside daily operations, focused on governance, accountability and the long view, so this board's decisions hold up over time and not only today.
Chief Executive Advisor
My role as Chief Executive Advisor is to help connect Malaya's strategy with the institutions, partners and stakeholders a national screening effort depends on. Good strategy only matters if it can be coordinated and executed across many moving parts. That coordination, quietly done, is where I try to add the most value.
Marketing Manager
Marketing a screening product carries a responsibility beyond growth numbers: the words we choose can decide whether a woman trusts a test enough to take it. My focus as Marketing Manager is communication that is accurate, respectful and never overstates what CarciScan can do, because trust is what actually drives access.
Sales Manager
Sales, for a screening product, is really about access: getting CarciScan in front of the clinics, laboratories and partners who can put it within reach of more women. As Sales Manager, I focus on building those relationships honestly, on the product's real capabilities, so access grows on a foundation that lasts.
A healthier Philippines starts with Her
Different roles, different backgrounds, one shared reason for building Malaya United: a woman's access to cervical cancer screening should never depend on her income, her address or her distance from a major hospital.
