Live Well, Live Green: Taiwan Excellence Inspires Healthy Living

Filipinos got a fresh dose of inspiration to live healthier and more sustainably as Taiwan Excellence launched its three-day event on September 12 at Ayala Malls Market! Market! in Taguig City. The event put the spotlight on how simple lifestyle choices—supported by smart, innovative products—can help people live well while living green.

The celebration opened with an energetic cheer dance performance set to Taiwan’s professional baseball anthem, bringing excitement to the crowd and setting the stage for a day filled with movement, wellness, and discovery.

The event was attended by key representatives from Taiwan institutions, wellness brands, and Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray, who was introduced as Taiwan Excellence’s advocate for health and sustainability.

Taiwan’s Wellness Vision

Speaking at the launch, Ms. Josephine Shun, Director of the Economic Division at the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in the Philippines, highlighted Taiwan’s commitment to promoting healthier lifestyles:

“Taiwan is serious about health. Our government is promoting a big vision called Healthy Taiwan. Taiwan is known as the Bicycle Kingdom and one of the top three fitness equipment exporters in the world. I invite you to enjoy everything around you and have fun with your family and friends.”

Mr. Alex Lai, Director of Taiwan Trade Center Manila, underscored the role of innovation in improving lives:

“17 Taiwanese companies have brought more than 30 innovative products. The Taiwan Excellence Awards have celebrated innovation as Taiwan’s core value. Behind every award is a simple belief: innovation brings a better life.”

For her part, Catriona Gray shared her excitement about the movement:

“I’ve always admired Taiwan for being a leader in championing better health and wellness. Seeing this movement being shared here in the Philippines is an empowering reminder that living a healthy, sustainable lifestyle is something we can all embrace.”
