Watsons and Unilab Host 8,000 Runners in Landmark Wellness Event
Care, commitment, and wellness converged as 8,000 enthusiastic Watsons Club members gathered at the SM Mall of Asia Complex for the Share the Alaga Run. This significant event was organized through a powerful collaboration between Watsons Philippines, a premier health, wellness, and beauty retailer, and Unilab, the Philippines’ leading pharmaceutical company. The run served as a vibrant celebration of two major milestones: 185 years of A.S. Watson under the theme Grow As One and 80 years of Unilab’s dedication to advancing Filipino health.
A Partnership Built on Shared Values
The Share the Alaga Run highlighted a strong partnership between two trusted healthcare leaders, both anchored in a shared mission to make quality care more accessible to Filipino communities. Leaders from both companies emphasized their joint commitment to proactive healthcare. Danilo Chiong, Managing Director of Watsons Philippines, stated, “The Share the Alaga Run turns everyday care into action, giving our Watsons Club members meaningful experiences beyond the store. Our partnership with Unilab brings together their trusted healthcare expertise and 80-year legacy with Watsons’ accessibility and nationwide reach.”
Alexander Panlilio, Senior Vice President and Head of Revenue and Commercial Operations of Unilab Philippines, added, “Unilab is proud to partner with Watsons in celebrating this milestone. Built on 80 years of advancing Filipino health through Quality Alaga, our shared initiatives reflect our commitment to making care more accessible and empowering Filipinos to take charge of their health.”
Holistic Wellness Experience for Participants
Members who purchased through the Watsons App enjoyed a comprehensive wellness experience designed to bring together families, friends, and runners of all skill levels. The event encouraged everyone to move with purpose and prioritize their health, embodying the belief that wellness begins with everyday alaga, or care. Before the run, participants geared up and stretched together, embracing the spirit of wellness even before reaching the starting line.
After crossing the finish line and earning their medals, runners cooled down at hydration stations, captured memories with photos, explored product booths, and joined interactive games. They also discovered essential products that support recovery and everyday health, reinforcing the message that wellness extends far beyond race day.
Empowering Filipinos Through Accessible Initiatives
Through initiatives like the Share the Alaga Run, Watsons and Unilab reaffirm their shared commitment to champion proactive health and make everyday alaga more accessible to Filipinos nationwide. The event is part of broader efforts, including Alagang Pangkalusugan medical missions, aimed at empowering individuals to take charge of their well-being.
