Starting college is an exciting milestone for many young women. It often means gaining more independence, meeting new friends, and learning to manage daily responsibilities. At the same time, it also brings new health concerns, making it even more important for young Filipinas to understand how to take care of their physical and emotional well-being.
To help encourage these important conversations, Watsons Philippines officially launched its Watsons Women's University Tour at the Philippine Women's University (PWU) on July 10. The initiative aims to provide students with reliable health information through expert-led discussions, interactive activities, and practical wellness education.
The university tour is part of Watsons' WE: The Power of Women campaign, which promotes a supportive community where women can feel informed, confident, and empowered throughout every stage of life.
Why Women's Health Education Matters During College
College is often the first time many young women begin making independent decisions about their health. From managing stress and nutrition to understanding menstrual health and overall wellness, having access to trusted information can help students build healthier habits that last beyond graduation.
During the event, healthcare professionals, pharmacists, and wellness experts shared practical and science-based advice on topics relevant to young women. Representatives from trusted health brands including Fern-C, Buscopan Venus, Bayer, Stresstabs, and Sisters also participated in the discussions.
One encouraging highlight was the active participation of both female and male students. By asking questions and openly discussing women's health, the event helped promote the idea that supporting women's wellness is everyone's responsibility.
Interactive Learning Beyond the Talks
Aside from the educational sessions, students were able to visit interactive booths featuring various health and beauty experiences. They also explored Watsons' selection of wellness essentials while learning about the benefits of becoming a Watsons Club member.
According to Danilo S. Chiong, Managing Director of Watsons Philippines, the goal is to inspire students to prioritize their own health while encouraging others to do the same.
Even simple actions such as sharing reliable health information or reminding a friend to practice self-care can help create a more supportive community.
More Campuses to Benefit
Following the successful kickoff at the Philippine Women's University, the Watsons Women's University Tour will continue visiting more schools across the country, allowing more young Filipinas to access trusted health, beauty, and wellness education.
Outside the campus tour, Watsons continues to make health and beauty products more accessible through its nationwide stores and digital services. Customers can also use the Watsons App for convenient shopping, including Click & Collect Express and Home Delivery Express options.
Why This Matters to Parents
As moms, we naturally want our daughters to grow into confident and healthy young women. While we may not always be there to guide them every day once they enter college, initiatives like this provide another trusted source of education and support.
Having open conversations about women's health helps young adults make informed decisions, develop healthy routines, and become more comfortable asking questions without fear or embarrassment.
Programs that encourage wellness education inside schools can play an important role in helping the next generation become healthier and more empowered.
