Watsons, the country’s top health, wellness and beauty shop, kicked off the Great Health Fest 2025 with a high-energy celebration at the SM Mall of Asia Music Hall. 

The six-day festival, which runs from 12 to 17 May, is the country’s largest wellness event, attracting thousands of health-conscious Filipinos looking to take advantage of great discounts, receive expert advice and access free health services all in one location.

“This Health Fest reminds us that health is not just about individual choices. It’s also about community support,” said Joweeh Liao, Health Business Unit, Finance, Property and Store Development Director at Watsons. 

She added, “By combining expert guidance, accessible services, and a space where everyone can learn about their wellness, we aim to shape healthier habits and create a lasting impact.”

The Great Health Fest, now on its second year, returns bigger and better, with over 40 trusted health and beauty brands offering up to 80 percent off vital products. Attendees can win up to P1 million in prizes, explore interactive displays and receive free health consultations, wellness presentations and unique benefits for Watsons Club members.

Wellness within reach

The event features a broad range of goods and services that support Watsons’ objective of lowering the cost of health and wellbeing, including those from Unilab, RiteMed, Galderma, NutriXpert, Hisamitsu and Omron in addition to Watsons Generics. Beyond the booths, attendees can take advantage of blood pressure checks, medical consultations, and talks delivered by experts on how to manage their health in enjoyable and useful ways.

Watsons stressed that The Great Health Fest is a part of a larger effort to solidify its position as a reliable healthcare partner and is not merely a one-time event. Watsons is growing its pharmacy services nationwide, offering prescription and over-the-counter medications, supplements and medical equipment. It is also increasing pharmacist training, expanding its 24/7 branch network and providing individualized guidance and services like immunizations.

At its flagship SM MOA branch, Watsons customers can conveniently access 2025 vaccines, including Flu, Pneumonia 13 & 23, HPV (4 & 9) and Hepatitis B.

Nationwide run

Watsons, which has more than 1,100 locations across the country, keeps bridging the gap between care and convenience. Customers may now take advantage of Click & Collect and delivery alternatives, whether through in-store services or online platforms like the Watsons App, which makes it simpler to remain on top of their wellness goals at any time or location.

“The Great Health Fest 2025 reflects our commitment to helping communities make smarter health choices,” Liao added. “It’s about helping every Filipino look good, do good and feel great — because we believe that true wellness should be accessible to everyone.”
