According to Pepsi Philippines Marketing Manager Gutzee Segura, “Filipinos have enjoyed Pepsi cola for years now. Moreover, the global success that we’ve had in various countries, as well as the overwhelming success we’ve had in Manila, makes us confident that Pepsi will be the choice of the majority of the participants of the Pepsi Taste Challenge.”

The activity is part of Pepsi Philippines’s #SundinAngPuso campaign. This campaign aims to empower the Filipino youth of today to follow their heart in doing the things they love.

To stage the Pepsi Taste Challenge, Pepsi Cola did a lot of things. First, they set up different activity booths in the main activity hall of SM Seaside City Cebu. Then, they encouraged shoppers and mallgoers to take on the challenge and be heard. Indeed, their effort was rewarded as people lined up to take part and be involved.
