Safeguard and Alden Richards Celebrated Global Handwashing Day

I was invited to attend the Global Handwashing Day last October 12 in Baseco Compound, Tondo, Manila — but I couldn’t due to a personal commitment. Sayang! Alden Richards, the one and only Pambansang Bae, was there pa naman to educate kids on how to properly wash their hands.

In this movement to make our country ‘a healthier Philippines’, Safeguard celebrated the Global Handwashing Day together with the nation’s favorite soap and the celebrity icon Alden Richards, representatives from the Department of Health (DOH), Philippine Association of Medical Technologists (PAMET) and the Global Handwashing Partnership (GHP).

They all joined the festivities and took active steps to spread awareness on the relevance of proper handwashing.

 

 

In this year’s celebration, Safeguard released the first ever Philippine Handwashing Index. It’s the result of Safeguard’s study that exposes the handwashing habits of Filipinos. Wow, only 2 out of 10 actually wash their hands after using the toilet!

This realization only shows why we should be educated about the importance of these “5 hugas non-negotiables” — after using the toilet, before eating, before “mano”, after playing, and before bonding.

To further stress the importance of proper handwashing, Alden Richards debuted his own Christmas song – “5 Hugas ng Krismas” to remind everyone to regularly wash their hands. LSS-worthy diba?! 🙂
