P&G donated back-to-school COVID-19 hygiene kits to the U.S. Agency for International Development

Procter & Gamble (P&G) Philippines continues to sustain hygiene promotion and access as public schools resume face-to-face classes this August. P&G recently donated back-to-school COVID-19 hygiene kits to the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) for distribution to over 389, 921 students nationwide.

 

The donation marks another milestone in P&G and USAID’s efforts to support underserved communities and protect them from the ongoing risk of COVID-19. Included in the packages are P&G manufactured medical-grade face masks, and hygiene kits containing Safeguard body wash, soap, and hand sanitizers.

“We are one with the country in promoting safe and healthy communities and we support educational institutions as they resume face-to-face classes this year,” says Anna Legarda, Communications Director of P&G Philippines. “P&G’s partnership with USAID enables us to bring our brands’ superior health and hygiene benefits to more communities and be a force for good in the country,” she adds.

 

Reports from early this year stated that the pandemic magnified long-standing health system ills, raising the importance of safeguarding the public through proper hygiene and infection prevention and control to mitigate the risk of disease transmission. 

“Supporting the safe re-opening of schools remains to be a crucial undertaking in promoting quality education and bouncing back from the country's learning crisis. We thank P&G for its unwavering support in confronting and coping with national pandemic disruptions and in the pursuit of better health and education for all, especially the most vulnerable," says Dr. Laurentiu Stan, Chief of Party of USAID's ReachHealth Project.

The initiative is in collaboration with USAID’s ReachHealth project, a five-year activity that aims to improve access to critical health services for Filipino families through technical assistance in family planning and COVID-19 response. Implemented by Research Triangle Institute (RTI) International, USAID ReachHealth has worked with government agencies such as the Department of Health, and private companies like P&G.

The City of Paranaque has awarded Watsons pharmacists for helping create a safer and healthier community

The City of Paranaque has awarded Watsons pharmacists for helping create a safer and healthier community for its customers through the Resbakuna sa Botika program, a partnership between the Department of Health, local government units, and privately-owned pharmacies and drugstores.

Watsons is the only pharmacy to receive recognition from the City of Paranaque for Resbakuna sa Botika. The award was given on September 12 during the flag raising ceremony at Paranaque City Hall. Paranaque City Mayor Eric L. Olivarez and City Health Officer Dr. Olga Virtusio handed the recognition awards to Watsons Pharmacists Regina Ramoso of Watsons Bicutan branch and Wendylyn Romualdez and Katrina Deduro of Watsons Sucat branch.

Ramoso represented Watsons Bicutan, which was awarded for contributing 3,170 jabs to Paranaque City's COVID-19 vaccination efforts, while Wendylyn Romualdez and Katrina Deduro received the award for Watsons Sucat, which recorded 4,072 jabs.

The Resbakuna sa Botika program was first rolled out in selected clinics and pharmacies in Metro Manila in January. The program was later on expanded to other areas nationwide as part of the national government’s efforts to further strengthen the national vaccination program.

Initially, the Department of Health (DOH) and local government units provided immunizers to conduct the booster vaccination in Watsons. With the help of DOH, more than 36 Watsons pharmacists have undergone training and are now certified COVID-19 Immunizing Pharmacists. Watsons has administered over 17,000 boosters for COVID-19 since Resbakuna started in January.

Coca-Cola Philippines accelerates community water programs to help improve community access to clean, safe water

Coca-Cola Philippines accelerates community water programs with long-standing partners to help improve community access to clean, safe water

Insufficient access to water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) infrastructure and poor water quality are key challenges faced in water-stressed communities of the Philippines. COVID-19 has exacerbated stresses on water systems, highlighting the importance of WASH to enable communities to protect themselves.

Over more than a decade, Coca-Cola Philippines has established strong corporate leadership in community water programs through its support to Coca-Cola Foundation Philippines, its social investment arm, and many non-profits and government partners. Supporting community access to clean, safe water remains a priority for the Coca-Cola system in the Philippines and Coca-Cola also continues to support healthy watersheds and increase water use efficiency in the production of its beverages.

“Coca-Cola has supported local community water programs in the Philippines for well over a decade, and we’re committed to doing more,” said Tony del Rosario, Coca-Cola Philippines President.

Coca-Cola Philippines marked this year's World Water Week by strengthening its commitment to support water conservation and preservation. Some of the company’s milestones on this journey are showcased in this video. Globally, Coca-Cola has given back every drop of water we use in our drinks and continues to help provide safe and clean water access to underserved communities in the Philippines and other countries around the world. Coca-Cola has also pledged to continue to ensure a sustainable supply of water by helping reduce water challenges, develop community water resilience, and improve the health of priority watersheds.

Installation of handwashing stations and water connections during COVID-19

In response to the increasing need for safe water access due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Coca-Cola Beverages Philippines Inc. (CCBPI)—the company’s bottling arm in the Philippines—and Coca-Cola Foundation Philippines Inc. pledged in November 2020 to install 37 handwashing stations across the country. Phase 1 of the project is now complete, with 14 handwashing stations built in high-traffic locations such as public markets and terminals, in major localities nationwide. Phase 2 is slated for completion in the coming months.

“At CCBPI, we continue to support the development of resilient communities, and this involves ensuring that communities in need have access to clean, safe water, especially at such a crucial time,” said Gareth McGeown, President and CEO of CCBPI. “This is part of our commitment to Filipinos and through collective action, we are able to truly refresh the world and make a difference.”

CCBPI was also recognized for its industry-leading water management practices during the first Europa 2021 awards, where it was awarded best in Water Resource Management by the European Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines (ECCP).

The citation covers CCBPI’s intensive and comprehensive water efficiency programs and initiatives, such as smart design for optimal bottle washing, reducing unnecessary backwashing, recovering and reusing water for maintenance tasks, and its use of advanced technologies.

Empowering communities with Agos

Through Coca-Cola Foundation Philippines Inc., Coca-Cola is also giving back to communities, especially those in water-scarce areas. The Foundation’s long-standing Agos program provides water-stressed communities with access to water, supports watersheds, and educates Filipinos on the importance of conservation in order to ensure that water continues to flow.

“The Filipino word agos means ‘flow,’ and it illustrates very well our commitment to water stewardship. Through our partnerships with non-government organizations and local government units, we shall continue to build water security to ensure the flow of water in local communities,” said Cecile Alcantara, President of Coca-Cola Foundation Philippines Inc.

Coca-Cola Foundation Philippines Inc’s Agos community water programs have helped over several hundred thousand people across hundreds of communities gain access to water not only for domestic use, but for productive purposes as well, such as for agricultural use and sustaining livestock. In Negros Occidental, for example, farmers like Ubaldo Ceralbo depend on the constant flow of water to ensure the growth of their produce and sustain their livestock.

“Because of Coca-Cola Foundation Philippines, we now have enough supply of water for our farm, and we don’t experience difficulty in fulfilling our tasks for agriculture,” shared by the Ceralbo, president of the Pandanon Integrated Upland Small Farmers Association. “They not only gave us a project; they also gave us inspiration to continue farming. Their help will support our families for a long time.”

Inclusive water security framework, watershed rehabilitation

According to USAID, watersheds in Bago are subject to challenges that threaten their rich resources and ecosystem, including water supply. To address this, USAID, Multi-Sectoral Alliance for Development Negros (MUAD-Negros) and Coca-Cola Foundation Philippines Inc are collaborating on P4WatER (Partnership for Water and Economic Resilience), a four-year project that aims to provide safe water access to underserved communities in Negros Occidental through watershed conservation initiatives and empowering small farmers in the community.

Since its first year of implementation in 2021, the P4WatER project has proven to be a successful model of an integrated and inclusive water security framework in action. Upland farmers have benefited from training courses on nursery establishment and propagation; several community green farms and nurseries have been built for vegetables, fruits and trees; generating savings for farmers, and increasing women’s participation.”

In 2016, Coca-Cola Foundation Philippines Inc began working with the World Wide Fund for Nature Philippines (WWF-Philippines) to rehabilitate Ipo Watershed in Bulacan province, the main source of water for the majority of the National Capital Region and adjacent provinces.

The five-year partnership helped to conserve a large proportion of the Sapang Munti Micro Watershed, saving hundreds of millions of liters of water annually and ensuring that residents will have a more sustainable water supply.

Coca-Cola Foundation Philippines Inc also partnered with WWF Philippines in March to launch Daloy: Reimagining Tigum-Aganan Watershed, an 18-month program that will assess the water system of the Tigum and Aganan rivers. This will help achieve a sustainable water future for communities in Iloilo City and surrounding provinces.

“Water is a precious resource that is vital for each and every community,” stressed Del Rosario. “We will continue to collaborate with organizations and agencies such as USAID that share the same goal of protecting, conserving and rehabilitating watersheds. This is important work as watersheds supply water for drinking, agriculture and manufacturing, provide habitat for plants and animals, and offer opportunities for recreation”.

AirAsia Philippines will continue to require face mask in all of its flights in view of safety

AirAsia Philippines considers the issuance of Executive Order No. 3 or the optional wearing of face masks outdoors as a welcome development which will attract more leisure travelers in a bid to stir economic activity.

EO No. 3 signed on Monday by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. no longer requires people to wear face masks in open areas with good ventilation. 

 

The optional wearing of face masks outdoors was proposed by the IATF following the clamor from several industries, as well as the Department of Tourism (DOT), to relax restrictions on  wearing face masks in open-air settings to attract more tourists to come to the Philippines and spur economic recovery.

However the world’s best low-cost airline reminds its guests that wearing of face masks is still required in all public transportation especially in enclosed spaces such as airports and airplanes. 

AirAsia Spokesperson and Head of Communications and Public Affairs Steve Dailisan said, "We remain committed to implementing stringent health protocols on ground and in flight set by the IATF and firmly enforced by the aviation regulatory bodies. The signing of EO No. 3 is very timely since we are expecting more guests both foreign and local during ‘Ber’ months. People can now enjoy fresh air outdoors and feel a sense of normalcy in our day to day lives."  

The local governments of Cebu and Iloilo have previously carried out optional face mask testing this month and have so far not seen a significant increase in the number of COVID cases.  

"Our multi-layered approach to safety -- composed of the full vaccination of our crew, the presence of High-Efficiency Particulate Air Filters in our aircraft, contactless solutions available on the airasia Super App, and implementation of standard safety guidelines -- has been proven effective in curbing the spread of COVID-19. This is evidenced by the perfect 7/7 safety compliance awarded by airlineratings.com to AirAsia," Dailisan added.

Shopee worked with sellers to curate a wide assortment of ₱1 and ₱49 deals, helping users get their money’s worth when they shopped their everyday essentials in Home & Living, Health & Personal Care, and Women's Apparel during 9.9. Filipinos were keen to maximize the available deals in acquiring their daily necessities, with one shopper saving as much as ₱200,000 for essential back-to-school items like a new laptop, laptop accessories, and desk accessories. 

Businesses achieved more traffic and a big boost to their sales

Local sellers took advantage of 9.9 to grow their businesses, with one top local merchant from Valenzuela City selling over 400,000 packs of face masks on 9 September alone. Another fashion accessories seller used Shopee Live to engage with their followers, gaining 80,000 views during their 9.9 livestream. Meanwhile, leading brands Uni-Care, Unilever Beauty, and Maybelline also saw a boost in orders as shoppers looked to Shopee for their go-to branded parenting essentials, personal care products, and beauty must-haves.
