Care, commitment, and wellness took center stage as 8,000 Watsons Club members gathered at the SM Mall of Asia Complex for the Share the Alaga Run. Watsons Philippines joined forces with Unilab to mount a large-scale wellness initiative that highlighted proactive health and community engagement.
The collaboration brought together two trusted healthcare leaders: Watsons, a premier health, wellness, and beauty retailer, and Unilab, the Philippines’ leading pharmaceutical company. Anchored in their shared commitment to making quality care accessible to Filipinos, the event also marked two significant milestones: 185 years of A.S. Watson under the theme Grow As One and 80 years of Unilab advancing Filipino health.
By combining accessibility, healthcare expertise, and nationwide reach, the Share the Alaga Run reinforced the message that wellness begins with everyday alaga.
A Holistic Wellness Experience for Watsons Club Members
Members who purchased through the Watsons App gained access to more than just a race. They experienced a holistic wellness event designed to encourage movement, connection, and healthier lifestyles.
The Share the Alaga Run brought together families, friends, fitness enthusiasts, and runners of all levels. Participants were encouraged to move with purpose and prioritize their health, regardless of pace or distance. Each stride symbolized a collective commitment to proactive wellness and everyday care.
After crossing the finish line and earning their medals, runners proceeded to hydration stations to cool down and recover. Attendees captured memorable moments, explored product booths, and participated in interactive games prepared by partner brands. The event also introduced essentials that support post-run recovery and daily health maintenance, reinforcing the idea that wellness continues well beyond race day.
The atmosphere reflected community, celebration, and a shared goal of empowering Filipinos to take better care of their health.
Leadership Messages on Shared Commitment to Filipino Health
The partnership between Watsons Philippines and Unilab underscored their long-standing dedication to accessible healthcare and meaningful community engagement.
“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. Together, we bring alaga beyond products and into everyday experiences that empower Filipinos to take charge of their health. As we celebrate 185 years of A.S. Watson, we continue to grow as one with our members and partners through impactful wellness initiatives,” said Danilo Chiong, Managing Director of Watsons Philippines.
Unilab echoed the same commitment to advancing Filipino health through collaborative initiatives.
“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, from the Share the Alaga Run to Alagang Pangkalusugan medical missions, reflect our commitment to making care more accessible and empowering Filipinos to take charge of their health,” shared Alexander Panlilio, Senior Vice President and Head of Revenue and Commercial Operations of Unilab Philippines.
These statements highlighted how both organizations continue to align their missions in promoting proactive health, community wellness programs, and accessible healthcare solutions nationwide.
