Ginebra San Miguel gives back through ‘Bagong Tapang Jersey Promo’

A positive mindset will ignite our strength, courage and braveness in times of difficulties and success whether it is related to personal or business matters such as family endeavors, work career, community projects, sports and other related daily important activities.

In these difficult times, the power of sports to bring people together is missed more than ever.

For its latest consumer promo, Ginebra San Miguel Inc. (GSMI) is giving basketball fans a platform to come together and extend help to those who are affected by the pandemic. “Bagong Tapang sa One Ginebra Nation Jersey and Cap Collection Promo” lets basketball fans collect Gin Kings merchandise and give back at the same time.

The jersey and cap collection promo had a virtual media launch recently that was streamed live via Ginebra San Miguel’s Facebook page. The promo is in line with Ginebra San Miguel’s latest campaign “Bagong Tapang” which highlights the new courage and strength that Filipinos possess to overcome the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The jerseys that were unveiled during the event featured Scottie Thompson (6), Stanley Pringle (11), Japeth Aguilar (25), La Tenorio (5), and Mark Caguioa (47). Starting on May 1 to June 30, 2021, fans can get their hands on the limited-edition merchandise for only P100 for the One Ginebra Nation jersey or P150 for the One Ginebra Nation cap for every six (6) seals or caps of any combination of Ginebra San Miguel, GSM Blue, GSM Blue Flavors, Ginebra San Miguel Premium Gin and Primera Light Brandy.

During the launch, Barangay Ginebra San Miguel fans got to see their favorite players for the first time after winning the 2020 Philippine Cup championship at the historic PBA bubble in December last year. With the restrictions in social gatherings, the traditional championship victory party and fans day had to be set aside.

“Ang Ginebra fans ibang level talaga. May PBA man o wala, nararamdaman namin na nandyan sila at sumusuporta sa amin. At first, we thought we are not going to survive playing without the fans because as a never-say-die team, doon kami humuhugot ng lakas. Sila ‘yung 6th man namin sa game. Napag-usapan ng team na iisipin namin ‘yung ginagawa namin ay para sa fans at para magbigay inspirasyon lalo na sa panahon ngayon,” relates LA Tenorio of the Gin Kings’ PBA bubble experience.

PAYING IT FORWARD

The jersey collection promo had been one of Ginebra San Miguel’s most patronized consumer promotions. For this year, GSMI tapped non-profit organization Gawad Kalinga (GK) as its partner for this project’s noble undertaking.

“To underscore the need for unity during these times, we partnered with Gawad Kalinga and through the promo, we aim to support GK’s Barangay Walang Iwanan program that helps Filipinos who are severely affected by the pandemic. We hope to encourage Gin Kings fans and our consumers to ‘put on’ a Bagong Tapang kind of courage and to wear this kind of Bagong Tapang for others to see and emulate,” says GSMI General manager Noli Macalalag.

For every jersey or cap that they redeem, basketball fans and consumers will be able to donate to GK’s Barangay Walang Iwanan program that supports the farmers in Sariaya, Quezon, and the fishermen in Barangay Bagumbayan, Pililla, Rizal.

“Bagong Tapang sa One Ginebra Nation Jersey and Cap Collection” merchandises are available for redemption at selected Puregold and other redemption outlets nationwide. To confirm the merchandise’s authenticity, an authentication patch can be found on the lower left part of the jersey, while an authentication sticker is attached to the cap.

For more details and updates on the promo, log on to www.ginebra.com.ph, check out the official Facebook page of Ginebra San Miguel www.facebook.com/barangayginebra or call the GSMI customer care hotline at 8632-2564.

GSMI is the producer of Ginebra San Miguel, the world’s largest-selling gin according to leading global drinks journal Drinks International. It is also a 15-time Gold Quality Label awardee of the Monde Selection International Quality Institute.

Feeling “low-batt”? Here are simple ways to help you stay energized

Our days can get so packed that we often lose energy. Whether you’re a student or a working adult, you know the feeling of needing a midday pick-me-up to help you get through all your tasks and activities. At the same time, make you livelier and happier even when you’re super busy.

If you’re looking for simple joys that will keep you energized anytime at home, here are some suggestions.

Play fun music

Bust out your favorite playlist to keep you awake while chasing deadlines or doing chores. Dancing and singing out loud aren’t required, but you’re free to do so.

Get pet cuddles

Sometimes our pets love to disturb our virtual meetings, but we don’t turn them away because they make us happy (and our officemates love seeing them too). So if you feel like your energy is drained, step away from your tasks and play with your fur baby for a few minutes.

Watch interesting and funny videos

When our day starts turning bland, we can’t help but go through social media and watch random videos. They can be simple food videos, makeup tutorials, or a compilation of funny clips. These can get your creative juices flowing, especially when you’re looking for pegs for work or school, and also improve your mood.

Munch on a yummy, energizing snack

A midday snack is great for giving you that quick boost of energy in between tasks. One snack you should try is Jack ‘n Jill Magic Creams, which are crunchy crackers that comes with Linamyum Palaman cream filling – Chocolate, Butter, Condensada, Peanut Butter, and now with a new flavor, Cheese.

Energize every day and stock up on Jack ‘n Jill Magic Creams at your favorite supermarkets, sari-sari stores, or online through Lazada.

Because with Magic, puno ng saya at puno ng sigla ang araw mo! For more updates, follow Magic’s official Facebook page.

In recognition of his significant contributions to education and philanthropic initiatives, Jean Henri Lhuillier, the President and CEO of Cebuana Lhuillier, was awarded with a lifetime membership by the World History Association (WHA).

The WHA is a professional association of scholars, teachers, and students whose aim is to promote world history by means of encouraging the teaching of history through research and publications, as well as via personal interactions.

“I am very honored and elated to be the recipient of this lifetime membership from such an esteemed organization.

Alongside the awarding of a lifetime membership, Lhuillier was also featured on the organization’s spring edition newsletter. He was featured for his contributions to education through the Cebuana Lhuillier Foundation’s Alternative Learning System (ALS) program which has since opened close to 100 ALS centers nationwide which has benefited more than 8,000 learners. The ALS serves as a training ground for individuals who otherwise do not have access to learning programs. These centers aim to mold responsible citizens who can be assets to the community through relevant education and livelihood training workshops.

History has played a huge role in my life and I have benefited from it as well. It has played a huge role in my capability as the Honorary Consul General of the Republic San Marino and it has likewise influenced my decision making. Itis also one of the reasons why I am a staunch advocate of making education accessible for all,” part of Lhuillier’s quote reads.
