Locally Sends Immune-Boosting Natural Juices to Medical Frontliners

To help the Philippines’ brave medical frontliners boost their immunity from the COVID-19 virus, NutriAsia has sent 2,000 cans and tetra packs of Locally Blended Juice Drink to staff and healthcare workers in The Medical City in Ortigas, Pasig City.

They all enjoyed Locally’s immune-boosting Pomelo, Mango, and Tamarind natural juices, sourced locally from Filipino farmers. The drinks go a long way in helping the Medical City frontliners stay hydrated, energized, and protected from disease and sickness with natural vitamin C.

“We are very grateful for the drinks we’ve received from NutriAsia and Locally,” said Gabriel del Mundo, Head of Relations Management at The Medical City.

Locally gives back to teachers on a fruit-ful World Teacher’s Day

Teachers play a very important role in the world. They have the ability to change lives for the better. The children of today are the leaders of tomorrow and teachers are critical in shaping today’s youth by inspiring them to go further and dream bigger.

Because it takes a whole lot of patience, courage, dedication to shape young minds, Locally partnered with the Department of Education (DepEd) for a deliciously fruity tribute for World Teacher’s Day last October 5. As an homage to their amazing work and tireless dedication, especially during the pandemic, more than a thousand teachers received a set of Locally Dalandan and Guava juices as delightful refreshments to help boost their immunity.

The schools who received the Locally gift sets include Pasay City West High School, St Mary’s Academy, Quezon City Polytechnic University, Manuel A. Roxas High School, Lakandula High School, St. Joseph School, Ramon Magsaysay, Jose Abad Santos High School, Parang High School, Nagpayong High School, Signal Village High School, Caloocan High School, Regina Coeli Education Foundation, Muntinlupa Science High School, Diliman Preparatory School, Araullo High School, St Anthony School, Philippine School for the Deaf, Muntinlupa High School, Pasay City East High School, as well as the City Schools Division of Pasay, Manila, Quezon City, Caloocan, Pasig, Las Pinas, and Marikina.

Filipinos express creativity and support for local through Locally’s #LivinLovinLocal

 

The grand winner is a paper cut artwork submitted 
by Althea Monique which depicts Filipinos 
supporting local shops and goods.

If there’s one thing that’s true about the new normal, it’s that everyone needs to stick together to get through this. Standing as one and our malasakit needs to shine the most through these trying times. It’s great to see that we encounter stories of our kababayans uplifting each other up with supporting local and buying local nowadays.

It is from the same value of malasakit and bayanihan that Locally Blended Juice Drink—the first local brand of uniquely concocted drinks that come from indigenous fruits sourced from the rich and colorful Filipino soil—sought to find the most talented local artists who could also show their support and honor for our local farmers through art.

Last July, the brand put out a call for all kinds of artwork—digital, traditional, or even unconventional— through the #LivinLovinLocal Art Contest, which shows not only the drink, but also their love for the Philippines, all the beautiful things one can find in the country, and most importantly, honouring the hard work of our Filipino farmers and their produce.
