Safeguarding Filipino traditions by choosing authentic alcohol products

For many adults, wines, spirits, and other alcoholic beverages are often an important part of  Filipino social gatherings. From birthdays and weddings to fiestas and holiday parties, the act of clinking glasses can play a role in creating bonds and cherished memories.  

In the Philippines, the festive "Ber" months continue, ushering in a season of celebrations like Masskara Festival, Pintaflores Festival, Giant Lantern Festival, and the Higantes Festival.

Buying alcohol often needs to be quick and convenient during these sometimes spontaneous social gatherings, but convenience shouldn't compromise safety. 

Based on data from the World Health Organization (WHO) Global Health Observatory 2022, 31 percent of alcoholic beverages consumed in the Philippines in 2019 were unrecorded – the vast majority of which was illicit.

Brgy. Molobolo’s path to clean water: A community-managed initiative against scarcity

Water collection was both a household concern and a shared community responsibility in Brgy. Molobolo in the Municipality of Cauayan, Negros Occidental. Parents and children needed to walk thirty minutes and wait at least two hours to fill their water containers from a water source in their barangay, which would not always cover all their daily water needs.

This water issue forced residents to conserve water whenever possible, but even that was not always sufficient. Water was a daily struggle, and each night, they went to bed hoping they could find enough for the next day.

This was the reality for Brgy. Molobolo residents until 2021, when the Alternative Indigenous Development Foundation, Inc. (AIDFI) implemented a clean water access project with a financial grant from The Coca-Cola Foundation (TCCF).
