Generika Drugstore, the pioneering champion of quality generic medicines in the pharma retail space, announced the launch of its “Suporta sa Ginhawa Award for Best Supporting Nanay,” a nationwide search dedicated to spotlighting the most inspirational stories about mothers and mother-figures, who have provided extraordinary support to individuals and their families. 

At the heart of “Ginhawang Generika”

This search is deeply rooted in the brand’s core promise of Ginhawang Generika, its unwavering commitment to being a healthcare ally that empowers customers to better care for themselves and their families. This promise is brought to life through tangible benefits: 

• “Ginhawa sa Bulsa,” offering up to 85% savings on generic medicines, especially thru housebrands, Actimed and Nutrawell, helping families afford complete prescriptions and allocate resources to other essential needs and simple joys;

• “Ginhawa sa Plus Services” through the provision of basic healthcare services like free medical consultations with partner doctors, free blood pressure checks, and other affordable basic healthcare options to proactively support community health; and

• “Ginhawa sa Katuwang,” where friendly and knowledgeable pharmacists offer expert advice and medicine counseling, empowering individuals to better care for their families. 

Gino Guinto, President and CEO of Generika Drugstore, emphasized the motivation behind this initiative: “The ‘Suporta sa Ginhawa Award for Best Supporting Nanay’ is our tribute to remarkable individuals who embody a nurturing spirit and provide unwavering support so their loved ones can continue to enjoy relief or ‘ginhawa.’ Their stories deserve to be heard and celebrated, and Generika Drugstore seeks to help share those stories to reach and inspire millions of our fellow Filipinos to overcome the challenges of everyday life.”
