Stay on track with your health through free iron blood test and blood pressure screening at Watsons

Following its efforts in August to make preventive healthcare more accessible, Watsons Philippines continues to bring free health services closer to Filipinos this September.

With many of the services continuing into the month, the initiative gives consumers more opportunities to make routine health checks part of their everyday lives, whether they are monitoring existing concerns, checking potential health risks, or simply staying informed about their overall well-being.

Customers can avail themselves of the following free health services at participating stores:

Cardiometabolic and Free Physician Consultation

Watsons Matalino PHC — September 21
Watsons SM Fairview — September 17

Free Iron Blood Test

SM Novaliches Mall 1 — September 18–20
SM San Lazaro Mall 1 — September 18–20

Nerve Screening

Eastwood 1800 — September 19–20
North EDSA The Block — September 19–20
Ever Gotesco Commonwealth — September 19–20
Forbeswood Parklane — September 19–20
SM City Fairview 1 — September 19–20

FBS and SUA Screening

SM San Jose del Monte Mall — September 17, 12–5 PM

Free Medical Consultation, Bone Screening and Anemia Screening

SM San Jose del Monte Mall — September 17, 12–5 PM

The services are designed to make basic health checks easier to access and incorporate into everyday routines. Whether it is getting a screening, speaking with a healthcare professional, or simply gaining a better understanding of certain health indicators, these small steps can help encourage a more proactive approach to personal wellness.

For many Filipinos, taking care of their health does not necessarily have to begin with a major lifestyle change. Sometimes, it can start with making time for a simple check and using the information gained from it to make more informed decisions about one’s health.

“Taking care of your health is an ongoing commitment, and it doesn’t always have to involve a separate trip to a clinic or hospital. By continuing to offer free health services in our stores, we hope to make regular health checks easier to fit into everyday routines and encourage more Filipinos to stay informed, take action early, and make their health a continuous priority,” said Danilo S. Chiong, Managing Director of Watsons Philippines.

Through initiatives that bring health services closer to communities, Watsons continues to support Filipinos in making health and wellness a more regular part of everyday life. Beyond providing access to health, wellness, and beauty products, Watsons remains committed to helping customers make informed choices through accessible services, expert guidance, and health education.

Visit participating Watsons stores this September to avail of the free health services. For the latest schedules, participating locations, and other health and wellness initiatives, follow Watsons Philippines on its official social media pages or visit the Watsons website.

What the LTO says about changing mag wheels, rims and tires of your car, motorcycle

The new LTO PMVIC, or the Land Transportation Office - Private Motor Vehicle Inspection Centers, has started operations in some parts of the country for inspections of cars and motorcycles due for registration renewal. Dubbed as MVIS (Motor Vehicle Inspection System), it aims to test the roadworthiness of private and commercial vehicles prior to their registration. This also includes the checking of modifications, upgrades and accessories that have been installed on your vehicles - whether factory or aftermarket. If they don't meet LTO standards, you fail the test. Failing the MVIS test means you have to retake the inspection and worse, you can't register your vehicle any more. For purposes of discussion, I chose to talk about wheels and tires because they are the most frequently modified parts of our cars and motorcycles. Now comes the question: Is it considered illegal to replace your wheels with aftermarket mag wheels? Can those u...
