Watsons Celebrity Switch: Tessa Prieto Valdez

It was a fun afternoon to be with celebrities again at SM AURA Premier. Worldiwde health and beauty retail brand Watsons had another round of their Celebrity Switch activities today at their store. Social butterfly Ms. Tessa Prieto Valdez suited up for the occasion and got her hands immersed on how it feels to be a Watson's lady. She began asking customers to come inside the store so they would be able to discover themselves what really good things inside that can be used by your kids, kins, folks and family.

Ms. Tessa says "You get value for your money. I'm so into this wellness stuff and they've got things that are very affordable. They have promos on top of promos and real ones that doesn't fool the customers. This is fun because there are customers that I don't know, and I get to talk to them, get to tell them things that I loved inside the store. I convinced them to allow me wear accessories on top of this comfortable uniform, I thank them for that as well. 

For me, I really shop here and I do save a lot in Watsons. This has been my 5th year with them and I shop here a lot, I'm happy with that. It's because I discover things that you don't know until you get here. They don't have lashes yet so that's what I'm suggesting soon. They have glues though and this is a one stop shop, health and beauty should be affordable and Watsons has got them all, you should not waste money. I save by shopping in bulk. I still like designer clothes, I splurge in that, also my hats and accessories. I don't do alcohol or drugs, I save in where I can but if I need to spend I do. I don't forget to give to charities too, that's important. I think my favorite now is Watsons Generics, they have simple things and new ones that I discovered today like the malunggay capsules. It's really great!"

I also got the chance to shop around with  the Clingers and picked some of my favorites, plus a couple of new ones too. 

I use this on a regular basis so I can take care of my skin after every shave. This is Gillette's Cool Blue.

Pond's Men has some skin cleaning products plus the re-energizing toners so you won't look or feel tired every time you face the camera, artista?! LOL

I haven't used this yet but I think the Dove Men deep clean product would be perfect for polluted Manila, students should know how to use this regularly.

I love Bench scents, they're dirt cheap and if you're not too fuzzy about perfumes, this is your quick fix. It's also nice that you can find it in Watsons outlets nationwide.

The new things I found earlier were these Sunplay Sunblocks, Face Potion that can protect you from the harmful rays of the sun. Don't forget the Watsons Nose Pore Strips too so you can keep the T zone clean all the time!

There are more things inside the Watsons Store that are still waiting to be discovered. Have you visited them lately? Who knows, it could be Christian Bautista, Patty Laurel, Iya Villania or Ms. Tessa on the counter next time! :)

Switch & Save with Watsons Generics

We went to Manila Peninsula a few days ago to attend an event. I was mistaken to think this was only going to be a talk because as soon as I entered the ballroom... all I saw was medical facilities. Shocked as I was, I went ahead and got my Blood Sugar and Blood Pressure checked. I also got an appointment with the Doctor for Family Medicine. Now, I think I already knew what I was under from the last checkup in December. The thing is, it's gotten worse. Not so great news to start this but since I'm advised to take maintenance drugs already, I'm not too keen in spending a lot for it just like most Filipinos. Good thing, there's Watsons Generics now. 

Dr. Anthony Leachon explained the Philippine health condition. He showed the demographics on how poverty and distance from Manila makes it a higher percentage to have heart problems, cancer and other diseases because there's no infrastructure for prevention. Patients with inadequate health literacy also are more likely to be hospitalized too because most patients would rather not listen to doctors. He also said the public and private section should help health causes, he's glad that Watsons and SM Foundation has done this today. 

Health and Business Director of Watsons Danilo Chiong, says they are launching Watsons Generics would make medicines affordable, make consumers aware about health and providing a wide range of quality choices. Watsons also continue to train frontliners so they can be experts also to offer patient counseling and do blood pressure checks. They are also going to do health events like the one I went through, hopefully to become accessible to more Filipinos. 

Undersecretary Teodoro Herbosa says "We are now looking at a healthier future for Filipinos, and we are investing on the citizenry especially the poor. We are doing governance reforms for hospitals, upgrade health facilities and improve policies, regulations and sector management. All these are being done un DOH and PhilHealth". The SIN taxes really helped fund services for the poor and give a greater budget for PhilHealth making better and standardized payments for more common illnesses and giving more focus to Filipinos.

Lorna Tolentino also adds that it's important to have affordable medicine because not everyone can get it easily. She also believes the 150 years of experience that Watsons has just speaks how much they care for the health and well being of people around the world. Edu Manzano says that there are only a few brands that he believes in because endorsing it would mean being one with them. He believes in Watsons.

Now there's more choices for quality medicines right inside every Watsons store near you. It's got the Watsons Generics brand on it so you are sure you're getting the best quality for the money you buy.
