In an awesome show of unity, healthcare leaders Watsons and Unilab celebrated their milestones through “Share the Alaga Run” at the SM Mall of Asia Complex, which brought 8,000 Watsons Club members together.
Watsons, the premier health, wellness and beauty retailer, and Unilab, the Philippines’ leading pharmaceutical company, shared a commitment to make quality care accessible. The event also marked 185 years of A.S. Watson under the theme, “Grow as One,” and 80 years of Unilab advancing Filipino health.
Members who purchased through the Watsons App enjoyed a holistic wellness experience. Bringing together families, friends, and runners of all levels, the event encouraged everyone to move with purpose and prioritize their health. Every stride reflected a shared belief: wellness begins with everyday alaga.
After crossing the finish line and earning their medals, runners cooled down at hydration stations, captured memories, explored product booths, and joined interactive games. They also discovered essentials that support recovery and everyday health, reminding everyone that wellness continues beyond race day.
“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,”
