In Filipino pop culture, Home Buddies has changed how we see our living spaces—blending practicality, creativity, and community. At its heart is Frances Lim Cabatuando, or “Mayora,” who reminds us that homes should be both beautiful and well cared for.
But Mayora Frances knows that the concept of “home” goes beyond four walls. It also means caring for our body, as it is our first home. Just as a house needs regular upkeep to remain strong and safe, our health requires the same attention.
That’s why she chose to visit Shinagawa Diagnostic for her first executive checkup.
“I can compare preventive checkups to home repairs or home maintenance because ultimately, before a problem gets worse, dapat simulan na natin na wala pang issue, inaayos na, nililinis na, and inaalam na natin where is this headed.”
Describing her experience as a “game changer”, she highlighted how Shinagawa’s well-executed Japanese-standard healthcare exceeded her expectations—not only through its comprehensive medical services but also through its thoughtfully designed facilities.
With her keen eye for interiors, she instantly appreciated the clinic’s design, ambiance, and even the details of its furniture.
“I’ve been to other clinics before, and usually you see crowded, tight spaces and very cold. But here it feels like going to the spa or the hotel. Para nga siyang bahay or like a mansion. I love the interiors, the furniture are so pretty, and the colors exude calmness. You won’t get scared to go into your checkup because it just feels like you’re welcomed, you’re comfortable.”
For Mayora Frances, her executive checkup didn’t feel like a typical medical appointment. Instead, it felt like being in a place of comfort and care—kind of like a home away from home. And that’s exactly what Shinagawa Diagnostic strives to give every patient who walks through our doors.
