Introducing Mott’s 100% Original Apple Juice in can sealed and filled with the same 100% apple fruit goodness that you can enjoy anytime anywhere.

 To welcome the newest member of the Mott’s family,  a fun family picnic event held recently at the Bonifacio High Street, for a day of outdoor fun and play that kids, even mom and dad love. The vast open space was not only surrounded by human statues, face painting, picture balloons, treasure hunts, hula-hoops, life-sized tic-tac-toe, ladders & slides, ring and bucket toss games, but there were also an abundant food sampling of corn munchies with apple sauce, apple-licious spaghetti, and caramelized biscuits.

The event was graced by Mott’s Philippines official brand ambassador and mommymundo.com founder Janice Villanueva. Janice inspires all modern moms on a mission to balance her career and family to serve meals that are full of health benefits, especially something the kids will love. A firm believer of the age-old adage “an apple a day, keeps the doctor away”, Mott’s 100% Original Apple Juice is one of her kitchen staples. “After learning that Mott’s 100% Original Apple Juice only has three ingredients which are water, apple juice concentrate and Vitamin C, I knew that it’s the kind of pure apple juice we’ve been looking for. It’s definitely a drink for all seasons and occasions,” she adds.
