NAGA CITY – As thousands of faithful gather for the Peñafrancia Festival, one of the Philippines’ largest expressions of devotion, Unilab made its presence felt through its signature Alagang Unilab initiative.
The leading pharmaceutical and healthcare company collaborated with the Naga Basilica to provide first aid services within the church grounds, reflecting Unilab’s long-standing commitment to support Filipinos in their moments of faith, health, and community.
The Peñafrancia Festival attracts vast gatherings—from parents with children to students, workers, and seasoned pilgrims from every province—united in devotion to Our Lady of Peñafrancia. Amid the solemnity and festivity, attendee well-being remains a pressing concern.
Alagang Unilab deployed teams to provide on-site medical assistance and first aid to thousands of devotees. The Unilab First Aid Station served as a refuge for festival-goers seeking accessible care and the peace of mind that comes with skilled health professionals.
Unilab’s Peñafrancia involvement builds on its active participation in other major faith-based gatherings, including the Quiapo Traslacion and Cebu Sinulog. These engagements highlight Alagang Unilab as more than one-time outreach—it’s a steadfast dedication to Filipino community well-being that extends beyond any calendar.
At its core, Alagang Unilab springs from Unilab’s belief that good health is the bedrock of every meaningful purpose: that every Filipino’s ability to nurture family and uplift community hinges on being lovingly cared for, tirelessly protected, and steadfastly supported.
From trusted medicines on shelves to community programs, Alagang Unilab manifests in many forms. Whether through educational materials with free checkups, first-aid stations at festivals, or medical missions transforming villages into temporary clinics, the promise remains: healthcare is kept long before illness strikes, long after visits end, and for every successive generation.
As Unilab celebrates its 80th year, its Peñafrancia presence represents more than another calendar event—it’s part of a service continuum that has quietly, diligently stood through everyday challenges and extraordinary times alike. Alagang Unilab enables Filipinos to walk in faith and community with assurance that their health needs will be tended to, whatever the setting.
Unilab’s mission extends beyond medicines and clinics—the company stands alongside celebrations of faith throughout the Philippines. Its contribution to public safety and community health advocacy underscores the essence of Alagang Unilab: care that is consistent, compassionate, and deeply rooted in service.
