In October 2023, the World Health Organization reported over 140,000 dengue cases in the Philippines, despite a 31% decrease from the previous year. Watsons released the Slay the Swarm: The Anti-Dengue Fashion Phenomenon Film to urge public awareness of the disease during the holiday rush.
The visually striking fashion film is up on their Facebook page and YouTube channel. It aims to remind the public of the four common symptoms of dengue (fever, rash, body pain, and nausea) and Watsons is your one-stop shop for insect-repelling and immunity-boosting products.
