Watsons Philippines, the leading health and beauty retailer in the country, helps hundreds of beneficiaries in different cities and towns by providing free medical services and medicine through the Alagang Pangkalusugan initiative.
As the initiative’s first Metro Manila stop for the year, Watsons visited Mandaluyong College of Science & Technology in Mandaluyong City last July 6 for a medical mission that benefited 923 beneficiaries from the city’s different barangays.
The Watsons medical mission was supported by Mandaluyong local government, officer partners from the City Health Board and also partner brands.
Present during the event were Mandaluyong Vice Mayor Carmelita “Menchie” Aguilar Abalos, Councilor Charisse Marie Abalos-Vargas, City Health Officer Dr. Arnold Abalos, and Addition Hills Barangay Captain Carlito Cernal.
Among the free medical services that the medical mission offered to Mandaluyong residents were doctor’s consultations, ECG, X-ray, hearing check, eye test, and massage.
Watsons is committed to its Environmental, Social, and Governance goal of helping to uplift the health and wellbeing of the community. It has been conducting Alagang Pangkalusugan initiatives since 2013 in the country’s various regions.
“We want to bridge the gap between Filipinos and accessible medical services and affordable medicine through the Alagang Pangkalusugan medical missions we are conducting around the Philippines. This is our first medical mission here in Mandaluyong City for this year and we are thankful to our LGU partners as well as to our health and beauty brand partners for continuously supporting Watsons’ advocacy of helping Filipinos become healthy and live life to the fullest,” said Sharon Decapia, Watsons Senior AVP for Marketing, PR & Sustainability.
