For many hardworking Filipinos, the daily grind often comes at the cost of health: fatigue, stress, and declining wellness are constant challenges. Observing this reality, Jose Aaron Roska Espina, CEO of Immuni Global Inc., envisioned a solution that not only promotes wellness but also uplifts communities.
Under his leadership, Immuni Global developed IMMUNIPLUS, an all-natural herbal supplement designed to combat physical strain and enhance overall health. It’s ready-to-drink formulation provides a simple, accessible way for Filipinos to prioritize their wellbeing, even amidst demanding schedules. Every sachet embodies Aaron’s belief that wellness should be simple, natural, and within reach.
Aaron’s approach to entrepreneurship is grounded in empathy, discipline, and vision. He leads with a deep understanding of people and community needs, ensuring that business growth is always balanced with social responsibility. From day one, Immuni Global aimed to create products that are not only effective but also responsibly sourced, combining science, research, and Filipino ingenuity.
The company’s journey has not been without challenges. Initial skepticism around herbal supplements and a new brand required strategic, grassroots marketing. Aaron and his team launched community livelihood programs and partnered with local barangays, creating awareness and trust from the ground up. From its humble beginnings in four local pharmacies in Cebu, IMMUNIPLUS has grown to over 2,000 retail outlets across 40 provinces, demonstrating that socially responsible entrepreneurship can achieve scale without compromising values.
A cornerstone of Aaron’s mission is community impact. Key ingredients are sourced directly from rural and coastal communities, providing sustainable livelihoods and fair opportunities for Filipino farmers. In this way, IMMUNIPLUS is truly “by Filipinos, for Filipinos,” blending wellness with social empowerment.
Today, Immuni Global stands as a testament to compassionate, visionary leadership. Its products improve the health and resilience of working Filipinos while supporting the livelihoods of the communities behind them. Aaron’s work demonstrates that business can be a powerful force for good, transforming both health and lives-an achievement that rightfully earns him the title Socially Responsible Entrepreneur of the Year.
