A new player in the purified water and non-carbonated drinks industry has joined the pack.
It’s the Filipino-owned Philippine Bottling Beverage (PBB), which revealed that its Banahaw Spring Purified Water product comes from the waters of Mount Banahaw located between the provinces of Laguna and Quezon.
PBB is a Filipino-owned business, and it put in three years of research and testing before they finally commercially released to the local market their bottled water.
Thor Jourdan Mutuc, PBB’s business development manager, other company executives, and guests launched the product recently in Taguig City’s Bonifacio Global City (BGC).
He assured Filipinos of PBB’s commitment to upholding production process adhering to international standards and quality.
To achieve this, he said they brought to the country an European technology which is one of the latest at present.
“Our production facility located at the foot of Mount Banahaw in San Pablo, Laguna, is at par with world standards, fully automated and requires minimal human intervention, preserving only the essential natural qualities of water from the mountain,” Mutuc said.
PBB took pride in being the Philippines’ only purified water that was named after its source.
“Today, we are sharing with you a purified water product harnessed from sustainable natural sources and bottled with care to ensure you get only safe and quality purified water we Filipinos can be proud of,” the PBB official said.
While sourcing its product from the water of Mount Banahaw, PBB also puts importance to the mountain as it ensures it is taking care of the rural community where the mountain belongs. PBB, then, advocates strict compliance with environmental standards in its operation.
“Water sustainability is the most significant aspect of our business. Beyond careful usage of water, we are putting in place measures that are geared towards protecting forests that nurture groundwater and contribute to the healthy circulation of water in nature,” said Mutuc. (Edd K. Usman) #
