For years, Colgate-Palmolive (CP) Philippines has helped shape Filipinos’ lives with its extensive lineup of oral care, personal care, and home care products. This year, it gathered company officials, as well as partners from the government and private sectors, as it toasts its 100th year of service and commitment to improving everyday lives.

During its celebration on March 18, 2026, at the Grand Ballroom of Shangri-La The Fort, CP Philippines took a retrospective journey, revisiting the company’s past campaigns, the partnerships it has fostered, and the initiatives it has championed.

One of the milestones it highlighted was the distribution of 55 million oral health kits to schoolchildren across the Philippines as of 2025. This achievement was made possible with the help of the Philippine Dental Association (PDA), the Department of Education (DepEd), major retail partners, and service providers, among others. The event also put the spotlight on its long-standing Colgate Bright Smiles, Bright Futures (BSBF) program, which provides free dental screenings and oral health education to children worldwide.

“If our first century was about building the foundation, our next century must be about deepening our impact,” said Angel Qi, senior vice president and general manager of CP Philippines. “We are pledging to move faster and reach further to double our social impact. This 100 million commitment is more than a number; it is a renewal of our pact with the Filipino people and our way of honoring the trust built over the last hundred years.”

Also present to celebrate the company’s century-long legacy in the Philippines was Noel Wallace, chairman and CEO of CP Inc., who shared the company’s continued commitment to the Filipino people.

“We are proud to share that, with the support of our partners, we have reached two billion children and their families in over 100 countries through our Colgate BSBF program,” Noel said. “The Philippines has been an important market for us in advancing Colgate’s global goals of extending oral health initiatives to more communities and schools.”

As they raise their glasses, the team behind CP Philippines is also bracing itself for the next challenge. It is committed to doubling the company’s impact over the next 10 years by delivering 100 million oral health kits to Filipino children by 2035.

“As we move from a remarkable past to a bolder future, at Colgate, we are fueled by our unwavering commitment to innovative products, led by a resilient team and partners who live our purpose and work to improve every corner of this great nation,” Noel concluded.
