Watsons Philippines and Premiere Condoms set a new Guinness World Records™ title by achieving the World’s Largest Condom Donation in One Hour at the “Protected & Proud” event on November 30 at UP Sunken Garden. A total of 13,312 condoms were donated in just 60 minutes, highlighting both brands’ commitment to promoting safer reproductive health and creating a platform for open conversation and health awareness nationwide.
Watsons and Premiere Condoms Champion Reproductive Health
As the country’s leading health, wellness, and beauty retailer, Watsons continues to make essential reproductive health products and information accessible to Filipinos. Partnering with Premiere Condoms, Watsons turned World AIDS Day into a meaningful opportunity for awareness, open discussion, and practical learning. The initiative empowers individuals to make informed decisions about their health.
“At Watsons, our mission is to empower every Filipino to Look Good, Do Good, and Feel Great. And that starts with helping our customers care for their health in ways that are easy, accessible, and reliable,” said Joweeh B. Liao, Director for Health Business Unit, Finance, Property, and Store Development of Watsons Philippines.
“This donation isn’t just about setting a record—it represents access. It means more people can get protection and support for their reproductive health. It’s a practical way to help Filipinos stay safe, informed, and confident, and we’re proud to be part of that,” she added.
Supporting Communities Through Condom Donations
A portion of proceeds from every Premiere Condoms Love Bundle Pack purchased exclusively at Watsons, both in-store and online, directly supported the record attempt and UP Babaylan’s HIV prevention programs. This initiative allowed the donation to reach communities most in need of reproductive health resources and education.
“Our partnership with Watsons and UP Babaylan is a reflection of DKT Health’s commitment to community-focused action. For us, sexual wellness goes beyond the product; it means actively supporting organizations on the ground who are fighting HIV stigma, providing essentials like condoms, and driving important education and awareness initiatives. We’re all for normalizing conversations on sexual wellness and protection among young people, as well as making essentials like condoms easily accessible. This is about building confidence in our choices—being both protected and proud,” said Denise van Dijk, President and CEO of DKT Health, Inc.
