MANILA, Philippines - To create everyday surprises –– “O, Wow! Moments” –– is the goal of Oishi when it created Team O. Team O is a unique group of individuals from different parts of the media and entertainment industries. Its members are Oishi brand ambassadors Elmo Magalona, Tim Yap, Smart C+ endorser Slater Young, Rock Ed’s Gang Badoy, and Ramon Bautista. A mystery girl is set to join the team very soon. How do the members of Team O emphasize the Oishi catchphrase “O, Wow”? By creating everyday surprises for various audiences.
Elmo and Tim surprise high school kids
Students from Marcelo H. Del Pilar High School were gathered in the Bulacan Sports Complex supposedly for “intramurals.” There was anticipation in the air as the students were told that a celebrity guest would be arriving. At 2:20 p.m., the students were surprised when a helicopter thundered over the sports grounds, and circled above them. Excitement filled the entire complex as students shouted and started to run and jump after the helicopter. Waves of air were accompanied by waves of surprise as the chopper hovered over the gathering crowd and began to shower the students with Oishi O, Wow! surprise packs.
Hundreds of snacks falling from the sky was enough to motivate everyone to draw nearer and grab all the snacks they could. From Potato Fries, to Marty’s Vegetarian Chicharon, to Bread Pan, they didn’t know what they got until they open the Oishi O, Wow! Surprise packs.
Crowds cheered as Elmo Magalona and fellow Team O member Tim Yap emerged from the chopper.
Both made their way to the stage area for a mini program where different games and activities took place, starting off with Elmo performing his famous dance number, Teach Me How to Douggie. He even sang a duet of Call Me Maybe with a lucky girl while Tim kept the crowd engaged. By the end of the day, thousands of students had fun and over 3,000 Oishi Surprise Packs were given away.
Ramon Bautista goes to pup
Last Aug. 31, the campus of Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP) Sta. Mesa looked and felt like a typical Friday afternoon. Nothing was going to happen out of the ordinary –– or so they thought –– for minutes later, what looked like a typical red pick-up turned out to be the vehicle carrying Team O member, Ramon Bautista.
Ramon came out and rounded up his team of runners in red suits with Oishi O, Wow! Surprise Packs as their main accessory. They were set to run around the campus for students to yank the snacks off their suits. Placed on their marks and readied, they all ran at Ramon’s signal and in no time, the snacks were gone. The runners then lined up for everyone to see the message formed by the letters printed on each of their suits, “Go Team O!”
To close the afternoon, Ramon and the red runners danced to the tune of Macho ka by Parokya ni Edgar.
