If you’re from the province like me, you can definitely relate to the mood of this video:
If you haven’t seen the video, you have to see it, the festive mood, the excitement of the people.. and the reason behind that excitement,
You didn’t see it coming noh?
Who would have? That kind of welcome just for the arrival of clean toilet in their facilities?
According to our friends from Unilever, the video, aptly titled as Fiesta shows how underprivileged Filipinos welcome the “arrival” of clean toilet facilities in their communities. “The video aims to make people realize the value of a toilet which most of us, unfortunately, take for granted,” said Dennis Chua, Domex Brand Manager.
The “Fiesta” video contributes to the efforts of Domex’s One Million Clean Toilets Movement. Each unique view translates into a pledge for the advocacy campaign which collects pledges from households to conscientiously maintain their own hygienic bathrooms.
How can we be a part of Domex’s One Million Clean Toilets Movement?
1. Watch the video above. Every watch= pledge and for every pledge received, Domex will donate P5 to UNICEF’s sanitation program, towards improving access to basic sanitation in deprived areas around the world, including the Philippines.
2. Share the video and ask your friends to watch it too!

Clean toilets, germ-free communities
All over the country, people are welcoming the construction of new toilet facilities and the repair of dilapidated ones, since becoming aware of its role in disease prevention, especially among children.
According to the Department of Health, of the estimated 3,420 diarrhea-related deaths among Filipino children under 5 every year, around 2,000 could have been prevented by access to safe water, improved toilet sanitation and personal hygiene.
“This video should serve as a wake-up call for most of us. The little things we take for granted, like having a clean toilet, could mean the world to others and could definitely help save lives,” Chua said.
