MANILA, Philippines - Local sports icons and Milo champs Chris Tiu and Japoy Lizardo recently drew a huge crowd at the Milo booth of The Joy of Wellness Fair organized by Nestlé Philippines. Held at SM Megamall, the fair promoted the condition of good physical and mental health through proper diet and exercise.
The Milo booth featured the theme The Joy of an Active Lifestyle and is one of the many activities aligned with the efforts of Milo to help build champions in sports and in life. “I strongly encourage parents to get their kids into sports because of the many benefits that it brings not just in terms of their health but also for their character,” says Chris.
Guests had a blast testing their basketball skills against Chris via a free throw shootout while Japoy, on the other hand, showed everyone how to prepare the perfect Milo mix, also known as The Champion Mix. Fans also enjoyed having their photos taken with their sports idols and getting their autographs as well.
The activities were complemented by an exhibition featuring students of the Association for the Advancement of Karatedo, the Milo Best Center, and a sports talk. Attendees were also treated to an insightful mural about the National Milo Marathon and its progress to become the country’s longest and most prestigious running event as well as the evolution of Milo as a pioneer in sports. Wellness isn’t just about engaging in enough physical activity; it’s also about eating the right kinds of food, which is why a free nutrition counseling was also offered to everyone.
The activity also featured the launch of the Milo Champ Camp, a Milo school tour that started this month.
