Filipinos love extending significant events – think our world-renowned Christmas season – and we at Roche in the Philippines are no different. The local celebration of the Roche Children’s Walk, our largest employee-driven fundraising event, kicked off its 21st year on June 24 with our OneRoche teams from Pharmaceuticals (led by Dr. Diana Edralin, MD, DPCOM), Diagnostics (led by Marco Valencia Sanchez), and Diabetes Care (led by Russell Ibit, CPA,MBA) split into Teams Blue, Purple, and Orange. With the sky and sun cooperating and proudly wearing our white Children’s Walk t-shirts, we marched back and forth down Bonifacio High Street in Taguig City on that early Monday morning to make known our continued commitment to making a difference for children around the globe. A Treasure Hunt got all of us busy searching for the hidden “gems” our organizing team scattered across High Street. When we returned to “base”, UNICEF’s education and international development expert Jukka Tulivuori updated us on how our efforts are helping improve the local education system. And because we are in the Philippines, Roche has stretched our Children’s Walk activities throughout July via various fundraisers. For details on those, stay tuned!
