Drinking to an H1N1-free Philippines

MANILA, Philippines - The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf strengthened its commitment to quality customer service by joining the Flu Prevention Coalition. Representing this partnership were Gerald Blanco, senior brand manager for Reckitt Benckiser, makers of Lysol Products, and Paolo Del Rosario, Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf director for marketing.

“Joining the Flu Prevention Coalition is our way of showing our customers that we’re aware of the problem and we’re doing our part as a responsible business entity to educate people and to help prevent spreading the virus,” says Del Rosario.

The Flu Prevention Coalition is the first and the biggest private sector initiative that seeks to control and contain the spread of the H1N1 virus in the Philippines. Under the banner project “Oplan Flunas,” the group is advancing the Flu Prevention Triad — which can be summarized by the acronym PSI, comprised of personal hygiene, surface and air disinfection, and immune boosting.

Just like the common flu, Influenza A H1N1 is best fought through prevention. And when it comes to surface and air disinfection, Lysol is a weapon trusted by most pediatricians and mothers. Based on lab tests, Lysol kills 99.9% of germs in 30 seconds, including flu and strains similar to the Influenza AH1N1 virus.
