NRG throws support to tennis academy

MANILA, Philippines - NRG Health and Wealth Corporation, a global direct selling company, has expressed its support to the young athletes of Philippine Table Tennis Academy (PTTA) headed by its founder and president,  and Southeast Asian Games table tennis medalist Jon Ebuen.

NRG, through its president Josuard Gonzales and CEO Julius Esposo, inked a memorandum of agreement with Ebuen’s PTTA to support potential young athletes of PTTA.  The agreement was formalized during NRG-PTTA table tennis tournament over the weekend.

Gonzales said NRG would provide PTTA players allowances, supply of products, one-on-one training with former Esposo, and actively promote their table tennis activities.

Esposo and Ebuen both remain hopeful that “in due time a first Filipino Olympic table tennis player will emerge thru this small effort.”

“That’s what they’ve been asking for, a future Filipino table tennis Olympian to be sponsored by NRG,” said Gonzales. “That’s a possibility, a big possibility.”

 Before agreeing with the PTTA, NRG gave current national table tennis and the country’s oldest athlete Richard Gonzales a cash reward recently for winning the men’s singles silver medal in the 28th SEA Games in Singapore last June.

NRG is eyeing to support the advocacies of other sports that can put Filipinos in the international limelight especially in the Olympics.

“NRG is eyeing to support more athletes in the future because their success will also be a success for us Filipinos,” he said.
