Bloggers were able to join the roster of media and as well as special guests for the unveiling of the “Gloria Team Pilipinas” campaign for Team Pilipinas. Set to travel and make the Philippines known throughout the world as a rising basketball haven in Asia, Nike and Team Pilipinas launched the “Believer” campaign as proof of their commitment to showing off the best of what we have in the country.
It is advocacies such as these that bring me a warm, fuzzy feeling all over. If we all became inspired and committed ourselves to our own personal missions, the result will end up in a full fledged campaign of promoting the good things about the Philippines and less complaining about what this country is doing wrong.
Nike will sponsor Team Pilipinas’ training with their FIT Dry sweat-wicking fabric and Pro compression training apparel. Team Pilipinas also has access to Nike’s global network of sports experts for consultation on youth development, grassroots programs and specialized training.
Team Pilipinas is Jimmy Alapag, Mark Caguioa, Tony dela Cruz, JayJay Helterbrand, Don Don Hontiveros, Ranidel de Ocampo, Mic Pennisi, Danny Seigle, Kerby Raymundo, Ren-Ren Ritualo, Asi Taulava, and Enrico Villanueva. The team is led by Coach Chot Chot Reyes.
After the event, bloggers ended up at mag:net cafe at the Bonifacio High Street and caught the 9:00 PM show of Gabe Mercado’s SPIT (Silly People’s Improv Theater). Here are some pictures of Gabe with the talking head and Asia Agcaoili. Thanks guys for making this a huge, huge success!
