LOHAS Days, a three-day event by Taiwan Excellence to promote a Lifestyle of Health and Sustainability (LOHAS), is set to take place in Ayala Malls Market! Market! this Sept. 12 to 14, 2025. Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray will be making her debut as an official Taiwan LOHAS advocate in the event.
What LOHAS means in Taiwan
In Taiwan, LOHAS has evolved into a national movement often referred to as Healthy Taiwan—a culture where wellness and sustainability are inseparable:
  • Bicycle Kingdom–globally recognized for world-class bicycles and a cycling lifestyle that promotes fitness and green transport.
  • Advanced Medical Solutions–a leader in health innovation, from cutting-edge medical technology to holistic healthcare.
  • Mindful Living–wellness and regular exercise are integrated into everyday routines, shaping healthier communities.
  • Eco-Friendly Habits–Everyday actions like bringing reusable cups are rewarded, making sustainability part of daily life.
Through Taiwan Excellence, the spirit of Healthy Taiwan now reaches the Philippines—encouraging Filipinos to embrace small, practical steps toward a healthier and more sustainable future.
What to expect in LOHAS Days
With the theme, #ActivateTWPH, attendees will be able to activate their Lifestyle of Health and Sustainability through a diverse range of LOHAS-oriented activities.
FuBear interacts with you onsite
A better life doesn’t always come from drastic changes, but from small, genuine connections and simple acts of kindness. Give Me Five, the signature gesture of FuBear, is both an invitation and a starting point for a better life. Meet FuBear onsite, give FuBear Five, and join the interactive activities for a chance to win gifts from Taiwan Excellence!

  • Body Activate: Spin Class
