JUST A THOUGHT: “When we love, we always strive to become better than we are. When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.” – Paulo Coelho

WATER IS LIFE: First, it was Anne Curtis. Then along came Sarah Geronimo. Comes now Mr. Piolo Pascual, 2017’s brand-new endorser of Living Water, a leading water refilling station franchise network.
During an elaborate, hotel ballroom-set launch recently, Piolo recalled that once upon a time, he opened three water refilling stations as a family business. One by one, however, he had to close them due to problems of maintenance.
“Now I have been united with people who know that business very well. I might as well work with them,” he announced before an enthusiastic crowd of franchisers who came from various parts of the country.
Living Water top man Ed Prades took pride in citing the company’s chosen endorsers. “They’re among the best of the best, befitting the quality of water and service that we provide,” he said.

MORE REFILLING STATIONS NEEDED: Living Water is engaged in the sale, franchising, and management of water refilling stations throughout the country. It takes pride in offering a 4-in-1 system that processes purified water, mineral water and alkaline water, said to be the first of its kind in the market.
Prades said that at present, there are only 17,000 water refilling stations in the Philippines. “We need 60,000 more to service the needs of 105 million Filipinos.”
He suggested that water refilling remains a lucrative business for small and medium scale entrepreneurs. And Piolo just might revive his water refilling business in partnership with Living Water.
