Celebrating Life With Mirinda

Summer may be over in Southeast Asia, but the Filipino’s all-season sunny disposition remains. Family gatherings and out-of-town trips continue. Mall days and night-outs keep most of us recharged, after a hard day’s work, with meals and ice-cold drinks in between. Aside from having the ability to swiftly look at the glass half-full, Pinoys make the most out of every opportunity to make every moment positive and fun.

“Filipinos treasure the bonds they share with family and friends. These ties are what we celebrate everyday through food and drink,” said Frederick D. Ong, President and Chief Executive Officer of Pepsi-Cola Products Philippines, Inc. (PCPPI), the exclusive manufacturer and distributor of PepsiCo beverages in the country.

As we are now in the second half of the year—and the post-pandemic world continues to move forward—PCPPI brings the fun everywhere with the fun, refreshing citrus drink Mirinda.

“Mirinda is the spirit of uninhibited fun. Its bright, tangy taste creates a complete multi-sensory experience. Its bold flavor will revitalize you,” Ong added.

A perfect drink to have in every family occasion, Mirinda is made with orange goodness that brings bursting citrusy spirits. Mirinda is available in RGB (8oz), PET (295ML, 1.25L, and 1.5L), and can (330ML) in supermarkets, convenience stores and select drugstores nationwide.

Aside from Mirinda, PCPPI also exclusively manufactures and distributes well-known beverage brands in the Philippines like Pepsi-Cola, Mountain Dew, 7-Up, Sting, Gatorade, Tropicana, Lipton, Mug, Premier, Milkis, Chum Churum Soonhari, and Aquafina.

PCPPI Reminds Filipinos to Hydrate for Your Health

This World Health Day, Pepsi-Cola Products Philippines Inc. (PCPPI)–the exclusive manufacturer of PepsiCo beverages in the country–reiterates the value of hydration this summer season.

Drinking enough water and other essential fluids has the following health benefits:

· Regulates body temperature
· Delivers nutrients to cells
· Prevents infections
· Allows organs to function properly
· Improves one’s mood, cognition, and sleep quality

Medical experts encourage 15 to 20-minute daily exercises to boost our immune system, but excessive sweating may cause dehydration and mineral deficiency.

More than water, sports drinks can replace the minerals lost during exercise. One of these is Gatorade, a drink that contains electrolytes to help maintain the body’s ionic balance.

According to the medical website familydoctor.org, “sports drinks can be helpful if you’re planning on exercising at higher levels for more than an hour. These drinks contain carbohydrates and electrolytes that can increase your energy.”

PCPPI also produces Gatorade ION, formulated for everyday hydration with ions, low sodium, no preservatives, and no artificial flavors and colors.

"Whether you are playing sports, walking under in the sun, or even working from home, the body needs a little boost from hydration drinks. PCPPI has products that will help you stay hydrated, whatever your lifestyle is," said PCPPI President and Chief Executive Officer Frederick D. Ong.

PCPPI further highlighted the importance of hydration given the threats of COVID-19 and what it can do to our bodies.

According to the American Society of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (ASPEN), “hydration and nutrition play an important role in our bodies' response to and recovery from COVID 19 and is an important part of your medical treatment.”

ASPEN stated that drinking "supports the body's ability to fight the virus and support the body's immune function.”

“As a company that manufactures beverages, we need to keep our consumers hydrated, especially if they are fighting against any disease, to maintain their body’s full function,” added Ong.

PPCPI manufactures and sells well-known PepsiCo beverages brands such as Pepsi-Cola, Mountain Dew, Gatorade, 7-Up, Mirinda, Mug, Aquafina, Premier, Sting, Tropicana and Lipton
