Locally provides Taguig frontliners with immune-boosting natural juices

In true Bayanihan spirit, NutriAsia provided essential frontliners from Taguig City with Locally Blended Juice Drink.

Medical and non-medical frontliners in Taguig’s checkpoints, vaccination sites, and barangay enjoyed Locally’s blended juice drink, which are made from fruits cultivated by Filipino farmers. The drinks help the frontliners stay hydrated, energized, and protected from illness as they go about their important duties with the juices’ natural vitamin C.

Some residents in Barangay Fort also received Locally Blended juice drink. Recipients include peace and order personnel, emergency & rescue personnel, daycare students, employees of the DSWD barangay base, Health Center Personnel, barangay frontliners, and zone coordinators.

This follows NutriAsia’s donation of boxes of Locally to various hospitals around Metro Manila earlier this month.

“We are truly happy to do our part in ensuring that our brave and dedicated frontliners are hydrated and protected from all illnesses through providing delicious Locally juice drinks that boost their energy and immunity,” said Gretchen King, Category Manager for Beverages at NutriAsia.

“As we donate Locally to our frontliners, we also manage to support our local farm industry, which is key in providing the fruits we use for our drinks.”

The fight against the Covid-19 virus isn’t over. With the invisible enemy still out there, it is still best to arm ourselves with the immunity boost that vitamin C provides. 

Locally has been handing out immunity and energy-boosting natural fruit juices to medical personnel, local government units, mobile markets, military staff, mobile kitchens, and more around the metro since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Together, we can all help each other out in healing and rebuilding our nation. Together, we can all help each other out in healing and rebuilding our nation.

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

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.

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

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.

Artists from all over responded to the call, posting their amazing Locally artwork on Facebook and Instagram. Many used digital and traditional art to express their creativity, but some also went above and beyond, even going so far as to create new recipes that use Locally juices! Everyone’s art not only expressed how they felt but also supported their brothers and sisters in a time when it’s definitely needed—one can say that the contest was truly fruit-ful!

The second place goes to Grace Maligalig whose artwork showcases a miniature Filipino boodle fight handmade from clay.

“Filipinos are known for their resilience and creativity – and what better way to bring these two together than through art. We are truly amazed with the entries submitted to us. Each work of art is a showcase of talent, passion, and love for local!” said Gretchen King, Category Manager for Beverage.

Locally announced the winners of the contest on September 9: Athea Monique (@hysteriaprime) won the grand prize, with Grace Maligalig (@gracemaligalig) and Dyanna Mae Cañas (@dyannameowww) winning second and third place, respectively. The winners all got special prizes from Locally, as well as the opportunity to work with the brand in key education projects in the future.

The third place goes to Dyanna Mae Cañas for her artwork showcasing Filipino farmers as unsung frontliners.

Artists aspiring to show support for local and win prizes will have more chances, as Locally will still be hosting more Localove amazing art activities, as well as another round of the contest—so stay tuned!
