Eco-certified coco water launched

Merci Buco. 

No, we’re not saying ‘thank you very much’ in French—just making a pun-ny reference to a delicious, 100 percent organic coconut water from Locally.

Merci Buco comes from the tropical islands of the Philippines where it can go from mildly humid to oppressively hot and humid. And when it does, trust the locals to reach for the ultimate thirst quencher—coco water, yes, the no-frills pure coconut water sold by the itinerant pushcart vendor or chilled coco water served in halved coconut husks at fancy restaurants and beach resorts. 

But it wasn’t until conscientious research a few years ago revealed the amazing health benefits of coconut water that Filipinos—and the rest of the world—went certifiably loco over coco.

The coco craze came to a point that the Philippines, the biggest producer of the most delicious coconuts in the world, reportedly exported more than 49 million liters of coconut water in 2015—80 percent more than its export figures in 2014. 

Now here’s a healthier, easier, and definitely more hygienic way to slake your thirst with refreshing coco juice—Locally Merci Buco in a Tetra Pack. 

Locally Merci Buco offers the first eco-certified organic coconut water sourced from local farms in Bicol and Quezon, assuring consumers not only of 100 percent freshness but also of its numerous health benefits: low calorie content (only 40 calories per serving); no sugar added (for plain coco water); no fat and cholesterol; and gluten-free. It is likewise pure, unadulterated coconut water (not from concentrates) and is a non-GMO product. 

Locally Merci Buco also has the natural properties of coco water such as antioxidants, amino acids, enzymes, B-complex vitamins, vitamin C, and minerals such as calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese and zinc.

Loaded with electrolytes that boost one’s energy level, Locally Merci Buco is the perfect post-workout drink for fitness enthusiasts. Its rich potassium content also makes it a healthier alternative to sweetened and carbonated sports and energy drinks. 

Locally Merci Buco is certified by both the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) and EcoCert. This ensures the 100 percent organic drink’s quality and integrity, which means the coconuts were grown without the use of pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, sewage sludge, or ionizing radiation.

To make Locally Merci Buco more fun to drink, it is also offered in two other refreshing variants—buco lychee and buco pandan.

Locally Merci Buco is available at Rustan’s, Puregold and Robinsons supermarkets nationwide, and in some stores in the US and the Middle East—but in France just yet. 

Locally is the first quirky Filipino juice line that uses home grown fruits. The brand mirrors the unique and fun characteristics of Filipinos with its catchy word play, namely: Mangosteenie Miney Mo, Tamarind My Bell, Dalandan It Again, Guyabano-body but You, Calamansi’z the Day, Pomelong & Lasting Love, and Save the Best for Sineguelast.
