MANILA, Philippines - Axe recently brought awe and inspiration to thousands of air travel fans at the 18th Hot Air Balloon Festival (HABF) with the Axe Apollo Space Academy (A.A.S.A.). The AASA astronaut showed spectators a greater glory that goes beyond the skies: That going to space is to leave as an ordinary man and come back as a hero. Crowds cheered as the Axe astronaut performed and played in different stunts, as well as seeing the AASA balloon capture the skies. Heating up the field were the Axe Apollo Space Girls and Jinri Park and Ashley Rivera. In photo (from left) are Ashley Rivera, Marc Nelson and Axe brand manager Gem Laforteza.
