Starting 2024 Strong: Generika Drugstore partners with Taytay LGU for Ginhawang Barangayan rollout

Generika Drugstore President and CEO, Atty. Yet Abarca, poses with Taytay Municipal Mayor Allan De Leon, Municipal Councilor Tobit Cruz, and Brgy. Muzon Chairperson Bugloy Cruz all displaying the ‘G’ sign as Ginhawang Barangayan commences in Brgy. Muzon.

Building on its commitment to provide access to quality, affordable generic medicines and essential healthcare services across the country, Generika Drugstore launched the first Ginhawang Barangayan of 2024 last April 19, in partnership with the Municipal Government of Taytay, led by Mayor Allan De Leon, the Municipal Health Office (MHO), and Barangay Muzon.

Nearly 600 residents—children and elderly alike—actively participated in the event, benefiting from Libreng Konsulta provided by partner doctors, along with free medicines and giveaways.

Residents of Brgy. Muzon express their medical concerns during Libreng Konsulta with Generika Drugstore’s partner doctors and Taytay Municipal Health Office.

One of the key highlights of the program was GenTalk, an interactive session that addresses people’s misconception that generic medicines are less safe or effective than their branded counterparts.

One of Generika Drugstore’s pharmacists educates people on how generic medicines are made reassuring people that like branded counterparts, generic medicines have the same quality and efficacy.

To further educate the community, a nutritionist from barangay Muzon integrated a talk on ‘Pinggang Pinoy,’ emphasizing the importance of balanced nutrition for children’s health. This discussion emphasized the vital role of proper nutrition in fostering healthier families in barangay Muzon.

Bugloy Cruz, Chairperson of barangay Muzon, expressed his gratitude for being part of Ginhawang Barangayan . “Nais nating ngiting-ngiti tayo ngayong araw dahil mapalad po ang ating barangay dahil itong mga kaibigan at kasamahan natin mula sa Generika, yung kanilang ginagawa na sa buong Pilipinas ay napili po ang ating barangay para magkaroon po ng isang malawak na health caravan,” he said.

Brgy. Chairperson Bugloy Cruz extends his gratitude to Generika Drugstore for improving the health services of Brgy. Muzon through Ginhawang Barangayan.

Generika Drugstore is part of Ayala Healthcare Holdings, Inc. (AC Health), a wholly owned subsidiary of Ayala Corporation, that aims to provide Filipinos access to affordable and quality healthcare.
