DKT Philippines began its social marketing campaign in 1991 with the launch of TRUST Condoms. TRUST has since become the leading condom brand in the market. In 1997, DKT introduced TRUST Pill, a low-estrogen oral contraceptive. Today, DKT Philippines encompasses a comprehensive array of contraceptives, unified under the umbrella brand, TRUST Reproductive Health Choices, recognized widely for its commitment to empowering individuals with informed reproductive decisions.
Despite being a predominantly Catholic country, DKT Philippines, at present, supplies nearly 50% of the contraceptives used in the Philippines, playing a crucial role in the country’s family planning landscape. This helps ensure that individuals and families have access to the necessary resources to manage their reproductive health and plan their families according to their preferences.
DKT Philippines also focuses on HIV/AIDS prevention and has launched various educational campaigns to increase condom use. Additionally, the company is actively promoting long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARC) to address the issue of teenage pregnancy, which was declared a national priority in 2021. By advocating for LARCs, DKT aims to provide more reliable and longer-term contraceptive options, thereby reducing unintended teenage pregnancies and supporting better reproductive health outcomes for young Filipinos.
One of the latest initiatives of DKT Philippines is the launch of Service Outreach and Distribution Extension (SODEX) Mobile Clinic—the first family planning ambulatory clinic in the Philippines. This program under the non-profit arm of the company is a groundbreaking initiative that seeks to expand the access to safe and accessible modern family planning methods and bring them closer to Filipinos in remote areas, free of charge. The SODEX program, along with other foundation initiatives, is made possible by TRUST Reproductive Health Choices.
DKT Philippines is self-sustaining and doesn’t require external funding to continue its operations in the country
