Community welcomes arrival of 'star" in “Fiesta” video

Here's something we need and we value on our lives. Cleanliness, basic sanitation, clean toilets, germ-free communities.  Watch this as a community welcomes arrival of clean toilets in “Fiesta” video.

It’s a scene typically played out during fiestas: People rushing to the streets, drawn to the sound of a marching band. Everyone is smiling, eager to see the “star” of the celebration. But instead of showing the face of a movie celebrity, a beauty queen or a politician, the video reveals an unlikely, yet welcome sight—a new, clean toilet facility.


Aptly titled “Fiesta”, the Domex video, produced by Unilever Philippines, is available on Youtube and shows how underprivileged Filipinos welcome the “arrival” of clean toilet facilities in their communities.

“The video aims to make people realize the value of a toilet which most of us, unfortunately, take for granted,” said Dennis Chua, Domex Brand Manager.

The “Fiesta” video contributes to the efforts of Domex’s One Million Clean Toilets Movement. Each unique view translates into a pledge for the advocacy campaign which collects pledges from households to conscientiously maintain their own hygienic bathrooms. For every pledge received, Domex will donate P5 to UNICEF’s sanitation program, towards improving access to basic sanitation in deprived areas around the world, including the Philippines.

“By watching the ‘Fiesta’ video and asking our friends to watch it, we are not only raising awareness for toilet appreciation and sanitation, more importantly, we are helping less privileged communities gain access to clean toilet facilities,” said Benjie Yap, Unilever Foods and Home Care Vice President.

Clean toilets, germ-free communities

All over the country, people are welcoming the construction of new toilet facilities and the repair of dilapidated ones, since becoming aware of its role in disease prevention, especially among children.

According to the Department of Health, of the estimated 3,420 diarrhea-related deaths among Filipino children under 5 every year, around 2,000 could have been prevented by access to safe water, improved toilet sanitation and personal hygiene.

“This video should serve as a wake-up call for most of us. The little things we take for granted, like having a clean toilet, could mean the world to others and could definitely help save lives,” Chua said.




Having access to clean toilets means a world of a difference to others. Join the 1 Million Clean Toilets Movement and celebrate World Toilet Day with us to help make a difference.


Every view this video gets, counts as a pledge. Help communities gain access to clean toilet facilities today. Let's save lives together!

‘Sari-jeepney’ hailed first Doodle 4 Google Philippines winner


“This is a sarimanok inspired idea. It symbolizes Filipino culture with deep appreciation of hard work and creativity. The concept is created to solve problems like traffic, economy, education and basic needs. The key on the tail signifies the solutions to the problems wherein we must fly high with pride and honor.”  - Kim Patrick Saren, Nabunturan National Comprehensive High School.




Kim Patrick Saren, student of Nabunturan National Comprehensive High School, Compostela Valley  came out on top of the nationwide contest, which saw 51,000 entries from all over the country answering the question, “What can I do for the Philippines?” 

Kim belongs to the 15-17 age group category, was declared the overall winner of the first Doodle 4 Google (D4G) competition in the Philippines with his entry, Sari-Jeepney.

Launched last July, D4G encouraged students and learners to look beyond themselves and imagine what they can do for the country. The entries were judged in three categories: artistic merit, creativity, and theme communication. 


Aside from Kim, three other winners were picked per age group. Angela Kaitlin Tiu’s "Love and Care for the Philippines,” Avryll Nartates’ "Coral Ripped or Coral Reef?", and Jay Portallo’s "Symphony for Peace” won for the 5-8 years old, 9-11 years old, and 12-14 years old categories, respectively. 

“Through the competition, we saw the depth of the Filipino youth’s insight, creativity, and innovation. They are very keen on the idea of nation-building,” said Ryan Morales, Google Philippines Country Marketing Manager. 

“The doodles reflect the aspirations of the nation over pressing issues—from solution to flooding to environment protection to food for the poor, value of education, culture preservation, and global competitiveness.”


The Doodle 4 Google announcement of winners with fun and creative activities
 held at the SM Mall of Asia, November 7, 2014. 

Kim’s doodle will be displayed on the Google Philippines homepage on November 10, 2014. He also took home a specially designed trophy by Google, a PHP 400,000 educational grant from BPI Foundation at any school/college in the Philippines, an art kit from National Bookstore, and an Acer C720 Chromebook. PLDT-Smart Foundation will also provide a PHP 350,000 connectivity grant for Kim’s school, Nabunturan National Comprehensive High School in Compostela Valley.

The age category winners received various prizes including a medal from Google, a Nexus 7 tablet, a 3D doodling pen, and PHP 5,000 worth of gift certificates from National Bookstore.

The pool of entries was narrowed down to 10 per age category by judges comprised of teacher and 2009 CNN Hero of the Year Efren Penaflorida, TBWA-Santiago Mangada Puno Senior Art Director CJ De Silva-Ong, PLDT-Smart Foundation, Inc. President Ma. Esther Santos, and BPI Foundation, Inc. Senior Vice President and Executive Director Fidelina Corcuera. An online public voting determined the age category winners, from which Google Doodler Katy Wu picked the overall winner. 


Google's innovative search technologies connect millions of people around the world with information every day. 

Doodles are the fun, surprising, and sometimes spontaneous changes that are made to the Google logo to celebrate holidays, anniversaries, and the lives of famous artists, pioneers, and scientists. The tradition originated in 1999, and creating doodles is now the responsibility of a team of talented illustrators (Google calls them ‘doodlers’) and engineers. Together they design the dynamic and vibrant doodles that are displayed on the Google homepage.
