BYOB at Watsons: How Shifting Your Daily Habits Can Save the Planet

Watsons encourages customers to bring their own reusable bags as part of its nationwide initiative to reduce single-use waste starting June 1, 2026.

From groceries and pantry stock runs to retail therapy, shopping is part of daily life for many Filipinos. With every purchase made and items bought, mindless shopping habits like the way we carry our purchases home can have a lasting impact. One we may not be too proud of.  

As a way to encourage a more sustainable and mindful shopping habit, Watsons Philippines encourages their shoppers to BYOB or Bring Your Own Bag. To reinforce this practice, all Watsons stores nationwide have begun charging Php 1.00 for each paper bag requested by their customers during checkout. This initiative aims to reduce reliance on single-use bags while supporting a meaningful cause. Watsons will donate 100% of paper bag proceeds to its Give A Smile Program, where customers can help support free cleft correction surgeries for Filipino children nationwide.

SM Cinema Theater Formats Explained: Your Guide To Choosing The Cinema That Best Suits You

The second half of 2026 is packed with blockbuster releases that deserve to be experienced on the big screen.

From Disney's live-action "Moana" and Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey" to the highly anticipated "Spider-Man: Brand New Day," among many others, moviegoers have plenty of reasons to head back to the cinema.

But not all movie theaters offer the same experience. Whether you're after larger-than-life visuals, immersive sound, or premium comfort, there's a cinema format designed for you. Before booking your tickets for this season's biggest releases, here's a guide to finding the perfect way to watch based on your preferences.

REVIEW - The Odyssey

Hyped up to be the movie of the year which was also shot using IMAX cameras, The Odyssey brings the epic tale of the adventures of Odysseus that we have known in our Mythology class.  Now Christopher Nolan wants to raise the bar with a star studded cast, beautiful filming locations, and an action drama that moves us, delivered by the amazing actors. Matt Damon leads the cast as Odysseus, joining him are Anne Hathaway, Tom Holland, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong'o, Zendaya, and Charlize Theron. 

They did deliver to make it an epic with detailed wide shots, chaotic fight scenes, and suspenseful predicaments. The score and sound worked perfectly to bring the loudness and silence for the part. Overall, it has indeed earned it hype and I can confidently say it is one of the best movies of the year.

Though some may find the creative elements not conventional like the accents and dialogue, it eventually fades as the story progresses. I did appreciate the utilization of the IMAX format with the wide shots of the sea and landscapes. The film also feels like a mix of his styles from his past films like The Dark Knight, Interstellar, and Inception - a subtle mark in his works.
