When you walk into the home of Drew and Iya Arellano, you immediately notice that it is full of life. With five children running around, their days are a whirlwind of school runs, sports practice, and the beautiful, messy reality of raising a big family in the Philippines. But behind the laughter and the hectic schedules, the celebrity couple has found a quiet strength in how they navigate life together. They are not just parents trying to keep up with the daily grind; they are partners intentionally building a future that feels secure and full of heart.
Becoming parents to five kids has a way of shifting your perspective on what truly matters. For Drew and Iya, this journey has been an eye-opener regarding the fragility and the promise of wellness. They realized early on that being strong for their children goes beyond just physical energy or keeping up with the kids at the park. It is about the long game. It is about making sure that they are healthy enough to see their children grow and that their family is protected against the unexpected turns life might take.



As ambassadors for BPI AIA and their Rethink Healthy campaign, Drew and Iya have started to look at their personal finances through the same lens as their health. They have learned that taking care of their future is just as vital as taking care of their daily nutrition or fitness routines. It is about creating a safety net that gives them the peace of mind to focus on what matters most today: the smiles, the growth, and the small moments that make a house a home. By being intentional with their planning, they are ensuring that their children have the best foundation possible, no matter what the future holds.


For many Filipino parents, the idea of long-term security can feel overwhelming. It often feels like you are just trying to survive until the next payday. But Drew and Iya share a powerful reminder that it does not have to be that way. By choosing to prioritize their wellness and their financial security today, they are practicing a form of love that will last for years to come. It is a lesson in partnership and foresight that encourages every parent to pause and think about the legacy they are building for their own little ones.
