Mandate Also Includes Collaboration with Local Hospital for Innovative Surgical and Anti-Aging Procedures
TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / May 15, 2017 / EastGate Biotech Corp. (OTC PINK: ETBI), an emerging pharmaceutical company that
develops innovative pharmaceutical products and produces and distributes innovative and healthy nutraceuticals based on natural
therapies has announced that it has engaged the services of an agent affiliated with the Philippines pharmaceutical industry to
seek out suitable joint venture partners and suppliers in the Philippines.
The agent, Roger Munoz, a principal of i-Power Philippines, a subsidiary of the ICube Group (www.icube.ph) a large holding group
mostly for Nippon SME business in the Philippines, will work together with the company's own Global Business Development team to
act in EastGate's interests in identifying local partners for the purposes of clinical testing, registration and marketing of the

According to the World Health Organization, the Philippines is considered a diabetes hotspot. Presently, 1 out of every 5
Filipinos has diabetes representing 20% of the population. It is predicted that the Philippines will be part of the top 10
countries affected by diabetes due to the accelerated rate of its citizens developing the disease.

introduce innovative anti-aging treatments and surgical procedures to be provided by EastGate's wholly-owned subsidiary, OMNI
Surgery + Anti-Aging Center (www.OmniSurgery.ca). The agent is already collaborating with a local Neurologist specialist for the
purpose of attracting innovation to the Philippines.
"We are excited about establishing Joint Venture partnerships in this emerging and growing Philippines market," states Anna
Gluskin, EastGate's CEO. "This effort will complement our ongoing business development activities and inroads in other
densely-populated diabetes countries in the SEA region. From our early discussions that have been initiated in the Philippines and

partnerships in the Philippines soon," concluded Gluskin.
