Coca-Cola Philippines continues efforts to meet World Without Waste goals

September 6, 2023



Coca-Cola Philippines continues to make progress on its ambitious sustainable packaging program, World Without Waste, with significant milestones.

Since the company’s global launch of World Without Waste in 2018, Coca-Cola Philippines has rolled out a series of innovations and partnerships in the Philippines to achieve its goals by introducing packaging innovations; collaborating with different sectors to create and support existing collection hubs across the country to bring collection and recycling closer to communities; and forging strategic alliances with the government, non-government organizations, and civil society to help establish a circular economy for plastic packaging in the country.

For 2023, Coca-Cola Philippines pledges to continue serving Filipino consumers with their favorite brands of beverages while supporting communities and growing a sustainable business in the Philippines for the future. Among the company’s immediate targets is to make recycling easier and more engaging for consumers by expanding its over 2,800 waste collection hubs across the country through increased partnerships with like-minded organizations and institutions. This also includes enabling the participation of microentrepreneurs, particularly sari-sari stores, through the Tapon to Ipon and Tindahan Extra Mile Balik PET Bottle programs, to help create a community-backed circular economy of plastic packaging while promoting economic empowerment among micro-retailers.

At present, Coca-Cola Philippines has launched more than 600 Tapon to Ipon store hubs across the country. The company has also partnered with the provincial governments of Iloilo and Davao del Sur for large-scale collection of recyclable plastic bottles.

In addition, Coca-Cola Philippines helps improve the welfare of informal waste sector workers by supporting the work of social entrepreneur, Plastic Bank Philippines. The partnership has activated 38 waste collection locations and 651 collection community members in the South Luzon area and has resulted in the collection of 546,000 kilograms of post-consumer bottles for recycling since 2021.

In the Philippines and around the world, The Coca-Cola Company continues to work to create a more accessible way of recycling and working toward a more sustainable future for packaging. The global World Without Waste program is anchored on three interrelated goals: Design, Collect, and Partner.

● Design: Make 100% of its packaging recyclable globally by 2025 and use at least 50% recycled material in its packaging by 2030
● Collect: Collect and recycle the equivalent of every bottle and can it sells by 2030
● Partner: Bring people together to support a healthy, debris-free environment

Spot and stop children’s colds early this rainy season with Disudrin

September 5, 2023



Disudrin, the #1 colds medicine for kids and most prescribed by pediatricians, is available in 10mL, 60mL and 120mL.


When it rains, it pours a world of sicknesses that are difficult to avoid. As the rainy season rolls in and your kid starts sneezing and scratching their nose, it can only mean one thing: the colds season is here yet again.

Colds are never fun; not for your little ones bugged by the discomfort, and certainly not for you managing the treatment while having to deal with stress and worry. Luckily, there are several ways to keep sickness at bay during this season. And in the instances that colds cannot be avoided, know that they can be managed.
Disudrin, the #1 colds medicine for kids and most prescribed by pediatricians, breaks down the best and most reliable tips to keep your kids healthy and colds-free during this season of uncertainty.

Have your kids wash their hands frequently. The biggest concerns sometimes require the simplest solutions. Regular handwashing remains one of the most effective ways to avoid getting sick by eliminating germs and preventing it from spreading to others. It helps to give your kids a mental schedule of when they should be washing their hands without you around, especially in while they’re in school. Remind them to wash their hands around the three B’s of the day: Break time, Banyo time, and Barkada time. Break time refers to the importance of having clean hands before recess or lunch. Banyo time covers after every time they visit the restroom. Lastly, Barkada time reminds them to wash their hands after playing with their friends.

Give your kids plenty of fluids and well-balanced meals. Much like handwashing, drinking plenty of fluids is another easy practice that can makes your kids safe from colds. Staying hydrated proves vital for a well-functioning lymphatic system. It also supports blood volume and boosts communication and biochemical pathways, which all strengthen the immune system. When kids already have colds, they should be drinking at least two more glasses of water than their regular intake so that they flush the toxins out.

Proper nutrition is also crucial for kids to help keep them healthy and strong. Ensure that your little ones are able to have well-balanced meals—a good mix of protein, fiber, and carbohydrates—on a daily basis.

Keep your kids moving. Although rainy weather is conducive to staying cooped up in cozy cushions, it’s important to keep your kids moving to keep their immune systems healthy. Since playing outside while the rain ensues is not an option, the next best thing is to encourage your kids to stay active by engaging them through indoor activities. Some fun games like playing hide and seek, learning a dance, or doing stretches together are good options to inspire physical activity. This also doubles as a chance to bond with the kids.

Know what to give your kids and when. Preparations can only do so much. When colds do strike, remember that the focus shifts from prevention to management. A reliable partner approved by professionals, Disudrin provides effective symptom-relief from children’s colds. Moms always want the best for their kids, and this extends to reliable medicines. Disudrin, taken every six hours after meals or depending on pediatrician’s recommendation, fights off a clogged and runny nose, itchy watery eyes, and sneezing, setting your kids free from bothersome symptoms, while saving moms from all the anxiety.

This rainy season, take control of the uncertain even when preventive measures prove insufficient. When colds come, moms can manage it properly at home with Disudrin. Act quick, act right, and remember, #WagPalalainMagDisudrin.

From Dreamer to Hitmaker: Lesha's Remarkable Journey

September 5, 2023



She has finally arrived! Yes, Lesha is heading her way to become today’s generation rockstar. And in just a short manner of time, she’ll be able to share with you the latest song that’s about to drop the airwaves and for sure you’ll love it.
But apart of from dropping her soon to be hits, Lesha has already snagged a few career highlights in just a short span of time. And the 26-year-old independent singer slash songwriter slash music producer is very much thrilled and honored for all the breaks that she’s receiving.
For one, she has snagged a spot of having her own billboard in the dreamiest places on earth– New York Times Square! Whew, just imagine seeing a larger-than-life photo splattered on a high-rise NY building. That’s so awesome!
Lesha shared about that episode, “I freaked out the moment I got the news! I always dreamed of having a billboard with my name and face on it but I never imagined it to happen so soon and on such a large scale! It was literally a dream come true to see my face on a large billboard representing The Philippines in the middle of New York Times Square for Spotify Equal.”



Recently, she has received not one but two nominations for The New Hue PH awards giving significance in recognizing and celebrating the creators and visionaries who push the limits of music videos.

Lesha was very ecstatic to be given such recognition. She shares, “I had no expectations when I got nominated so I’m extremely grateful for New Hue PH for recognizing me at their awards this year for Best Female Artist and Best New Artist. Their platform is all about showcasing upcoming artists/DJs and uplifting the OPM scene which gives us all a chance to come together as a community.’

Aside from that, she just hit the first million mark for her pain infused anthem, Ciao Bella song on both Spotify and Tiktok platform recently. Wow, that’s a lot of listeners repeating the song in their playlist, and it isn’t a surprise that a lot would relate to this hymn because of the melodies and lyrics that hits the heart straightforward. 


“I honestly couldn't believe my eyes. It’s a huge milestone for me to finally hit my first 1M on a song. I wrote, produced, and filmed the music video of Ciao, Bella in my bedroom during the peak of the pandemic so it’s a cool feeling to see how far I’ve come in my career, and it always reminds me of my humble beginnings,” Lesha revealed.

So many good things coming along her way, Lesha remains optimistic on more progress career wise for the next coming days.
Likewise, Lesha continues to be a game changer. She’s very fortunate to have worked with the best producers and writers in the world. She has learned a lot of new techniques writing wise and they also created a space for Lesha to be extra experimental with the tone of her voice jumping from one genre to another.

With this, Lesha shared some of her exciting experiences when it comes to experimenting music, “I have a couple of favorite sessions but the most memorable one was with LA producer Dela, singer-songwriter KAJO, and James Reid when we wrote “Skin2Skin” (still unreleased but I normally perform this song live cause the crowd goes crazy every single time I play this song!). We were in our home studio in LA, and it was also my first time working with Dela. He came up with some nice sad chords and I told him how I wanted to make a danceable sad pop song. James and Kajo hopped on to help with some melodies and around 3 hours later we finished the song and knew it was an instant hit. It was such a fast song to write, and we were all just on a roll! Dela and his fiancé Krizia recently visited Manila to write more tracks with me and the other Careless artists so we were able to cook up a couple more songs that are part of my upcoming releases this year!”

Expect Lesha to be fiercer when it comes to her musical choices. Comparing how she has presented her music from before and now; Lesha is gearing towards a new approach.
“Personally, I think there’s a big jump from my previous works versus the ones I’m set to release in terms of the writing style and genre. As I’ve been experimenting with the Pop Punk genre, I’ve just naturally gravitated toward it the more I wrote new songs. My dark and edgy side is getting amplified with these new songs!”
See Lesha’s fiercer and more direct style when it comes to handling herself and her music in the next few days to come. For sure, she will surprise you with her upcoming songs set to be launched in the next coming months!
Check out Lesha’s music on Spotify and her other social media platforms-- Instagram, Facebook, and Tiktok.

Watsons Slay the Swarm: The Anti-Dengue Fashion Phenomenon

September 5, 2023




The Watsons Kontra-Dengue Duo strike a power pose as they get ready to Slay the Swarm of Aedes Aegypti bringing Anti-Dengue awareness to the community in a unique, fun and family-friendly campaign. 

Dengue community awareness with a unique art and fashion performance, educational and fun booth activities for the public, and creative promotion of healthcare highlight the recent Slay the Swarm: The Anti-Dengue Fashion Phenomenon presented by Watsons Philippines at Liwasang Aurora Amphitheater in Quezon Memorial Circle.





The Watsons health advocacy campaign with the support of Quezon City Local government brings awareness to the alarming growth of dengue cases this year. “This pioneering health education effort combines art and performance to raise awareness on an often overlooked health concern. We see the importance for us to tackle the seriousness of dengue - why this viral infection shouldn’t be taken lightly, but at the same time, we don’t need to be afraid of it,” shares Watsons Customer Director Jared de Guzman.

The Swarm’s costumes represent common symptoms of dengue: rashes with lumps and bumps accents, fever with illuminating flames, nausea with stimulating and dizzying patterns, and body pain with spikes and sharp silhouettes. The costumes are designed by Oz Go of House of Mizrahi.

Slay the Swarm was staged in the city with one of the highest cases of dengue in Metro Manila. In fact, Dr. Marlon Molano, Medical Officer III of the Quezon City Health Department shared that from January 1 to August 24, 2023, the Quezon City Epidemiology and Disease Surveillance Unit (QCESU) logged 2,156 dengue cases. In contrast, the total cases for 2022 was 2,558. “This campaign allows our youth to be well-informed, to be proactive in the fight against dengue, and to propagate the series of awareness through the current information path of this generation - which is social media,” he said.

Dr. Molano commended Watsons, a private partner, for supporting a public health endeavor. “Watsons, I cannot stress how valuable this activity is, to our city and our community,” he said as he reiterated that it is only August and yet Quezon City is already nearing the total cases last year.

Partners in health advocacy. The recent Watsons Slay the Swarm event at Quezon Memorial Circle highlighted the continued need for dengue awareness and education. The event was created by Watsons with support from the Quezon City Health Department thru the Office of the City Mayor. In photo, from left: Patrick Yu, Watsons Marketing Manager; Jared de Guzman, Watsons Customer Director; Dr. Marlon Molano, Medical Officer III, Quezon City Health Department; and Sharon Decapia, Watsons SAVP-Marketing, PR & Sustainability.


Dengue Essentials
Families also enjoyed a whole day of surprises from Watsons with engaging booth activities from event partners: DirtBugSun, Tiger Balm, OFF!, Bite Block, Soffell, Bye Bye Fever, and Salonpas. “As your health partner, Watsons is determined to expand their already wide-range products so the people are protected and healthy all year round - rain or shine,” Watsons Customer Director Jared de Guzman said.


A fearless toddler came face-to-face with the fever mosquito. The most common symptoms of Dengue are high fever, headache, body aches, nausea and rashes. Teaching the youth about the symptoms and preventive measures against dengue are the highlight of this campaign. As Dr. Molano said, “Nag-start na yung advocacy natin towards dengue ever since, pero the continuity rests within our youth.”


Slay the Swarm: The Anti-Dengue Fashion Phenomenon

Visitors of Quezon Memorial Circle also had the rare chance of witnessing the special performances during the main event. Four mosquitoes, in high fashion mosquito costumes, emerged from the trash-adorned Hotspot art installation and strutted across the area, with arms flailing about in a vogue-ing dance manner. They scattered throughout the place and interacted with the public as if they were spreading the dengue virus. However, they were no match against the glamorous Watsons Kontra-Dengue Duo, for the strength of Watsons insect-repellent and immunity-boosting products proved more powerful. The mosquitoes slowly backed away until they were no longer in the picture accepting their defeat, and the Watsons Kontra-Dengue Duo finished with a strong and synergistic performance.

Left: Slay the Swarm performers pose at The Hotspot installation decorated with found objects and upcycled materials; Right: Park goers interact with Watsons HQ installation and larger than life bottles reminiscent of mosquito repellent products. Both installations are created by Visual Artist Richard Aguillon and his team.


Both adults and children enjoyed the fashion phenomenon and took their time to take photos with the performers and the art installations. Watsons took dengue awareness to a whole new level with this informative and entertaining event. Just as Jared said, “Watsons has always advocated for health literacy and accessible health solutions for every Filipino. [Watsons is] grateful to have been given the opportunity to educate its citizens with preventive measures to combat Dengue at Quezon Memorial Circle.”

Slay the Swarm: The Anti-Dengue Fashion Phenomenon is one of the many exciting events from Watsons. If you missed the event, you can still buy your kontra-dengue essentials, including the MD Dengue NS1 Antigen Home Test Kit, from the 1,000+ Watsons nationwide. You can also download the app on iOS and Android and use the code “OTC100” upon checkout to get P100 off of your anti-dengue products until September 10, 2023.
