Watsons, Asia’s leading health, wellness and beauty retailer, joined the Civil Service Commission National Capital Region (CSC NCR) in the R.A.C.E. to SERVE Fun Run that happened on September 1 at the Quirino Grandstand in Manila.
The Fun Run’s theme was “Civil Service at 119: Upholding Integrity and a High Trust Society.” The fun run aims to raise funds for the benefit of the Pondong Pamanang Lingkod Bayani (PLBi) Program which honors public servants who sacrificed their lives in the service of Filipinos. The run served as the kick-off activity to CSC’s 119th anniversary this September.
As CSC’s partner, Watsons offered free health services to up to 17,000 runners during the event. These include free blood pressure check, blood sugar check, cholesterol test, and fat analysis.
“We are committed to improve the health of Filipinos through our range of health and wellness products available in more than 700 stores nationwide,” said Danilo Chiong, Watsons Philippines Chief Operating Officer. “As part of our commitment, we are happy to partner with CSC in encouraging the runners to get active and be healthier through this run,” added Mr. Chiong.
Watsons provides a range of health and wellness products such as vitamins, supplements, over-the-counter, and doctor-prescribed medicines, making health care more accessible to more Filipinos. Watsons is continuously expanding nationwide to reach more customers.
