Coke adds life. Kumustahan sa Kadayawan


Coke Zero adds life

The fiesta-like Davao media kumustahan hosted by Coca-Cola Europacific Aboitiz Philippines (CCEAP) over the Kadayawan 2026 week was as fun as it was informative.

Surprising was how many sugar-free variations the brand has today. Beyond the Coke Zero topping my soda list, I can now add Royal Tru-Orange Zero, Sprite Zero, and Vanilla Coke Zero. That earned a smile. 

And there were more surprises, or maybe I just don't frequent the soda section of the grocery or paboritong sari-sari store sa kanto. Royal has two more variants I never knew about—the Royal Tru-Grape and Royal Tru-Lemon. Nice. Will the company be making sugar-free versions of these soon? I hope so.

With the catch-up, the CCEAP Manila and Davao teams shared updates on the company's sustainability programs, the country's first bottle-to-bottle recycling facility (PETValue Philippines), and the nationwide Tapon to Ipon collection initiative programs via the Coca-Cola Foundation Philippines.

Just like a traditional fiesta
