Wazzup Pilipinas!
Unilever Philippines and its leading household cleaning brand, Domex, spearheaded the annual celebration of World Toilet Day with a series of activities, including the launch of Germ Busters—teams of public health workers who will help maintain safe, germ-free public rest rooms while educating people on how diseases can be prevented through proper sanitation.
Domex’s celebration of World Toilet Day 2013 is part of the recently launched One Million Clean Toilets Movement, an advocacy campaign geared towards collecting a total one million pledges from private households to conscientiously maintain their own clean, safe, and hygienic bathrooms by the next World Toilet Day in November 2014.
Highlights of the event, which calls for nationwide action to sanitize toilets, included a turnover of cleaning kits to and pledge of commitment among Germ Busters from the PPHA and a ceremonial clean up at one of the city hall’s public comfort rooms. The event was attended by top officials and representatives of program partners Unilever Philippines, the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF) and the Philippine Public Health Association (PPHA).
