Christopher Massaro, Director of Creative and Design of Global Retail for Under Armour had this to say, “The Philippines is an important market for us, because it is a sort-of melting pot where East meets West, and is key in our global push. We’re happy to see all the excitement we’ve been getting after the store opened.”

Under Armour is a dynamic brand that caters to those seeking an active lifestyle, so it’s no surprise that only a few days after the ribbon-cutting the global powerhouse unleashed a fitness enthusiast’s dream: a daunting obstacle course situated in Bonifacio High Street, dubbed the “Under Armour Challenge”.

Popular hosts and athletes Gretchen Ho and Robi Domingo were on hand to host the celebrity race portion of the  event, as well participate in the grueling course that tested the mettle of fellow athletes, celebrities, and regular people willing to rise to the challenge.

Apart from Ho and Domingo, other participants included Natasha Alquiros, captain of the Philippine Women’s National Football Team “The Malditas”, as well as Harry Morris, team captain of Volcanoes-Rugby, and Johan Aguilar, three-time UAAP MVP for swimming, and mainstay of the national team.

The huge course was spread out along High Street, dotted with stations requiring participants to crawl on their stomach, scale up and over a cargo net, drag a weighted bag they were harnessed to, and even climb a rock wall, then rappel down the other side.

In the end, the team composed of Natasha Alquiros, Sebastian Ripoll, Marco Benitez, Elle Veneracion, Julia Quisumbing, and Gui Adorno took home the win, scoring themselves a special prize from Under Armour, as well as the right to call themselves champions of one of the most formidable courses the Philippines has ever seen.

Back-to-school with Bum Univarsitee

Going back to school doesn’t have to be a stressful tale or a sad story of summer’s ending. It doesn’t have to be boring either. Make going back to school an exciting one! Dress up and express yourself with BUM Univarsitee.

BUM-Back-To-School-Chalk-Cover-2

BUM’s back-to-school campaign “BUM Univarsitee” encourages students and the young bloods to rise above the norm and express themselves with school-proper yet colorful and stylish fashion. School time doesn’t have to be dull and dreary so when it’s time to meet up with school friends, gear up by wearing items from the BUM Univarsitee collection.

The BUM Univarsitee collection takes inspiration from the concept of school chic fashion—a style influence that is preppy with a twist. It’s all about being school-compliant without alienating one’s individuality—a delectable combination of grunge, rebel chic, and punk. BUM incorporates the fashion trend it’s known for—color in a garment.

The campaign is about being comfortable in school, and even after-school, wearing what you like and being non-conformist in a surrounding that somehow encourages uniformity. “Sometimes being in school makes one reluctant to be themselves especially when they’re in a sea of students who look the same. BUM Univarsitee encourages students and the youth to be proud of who they are and to be non-conformist without breaking the rules. Fashion-wise, the youth can express themselves with whatever style they favor with BUM Univarsitee,” Rai Lacoste of BUM said.

BUM believes that everyone should love their own style and share it to the world especially this back-to-school time. The BUM Univarsitee collection is now available in all leading department stores nationwide.

Reader's Digest Holds the Annual Trusted Brands Award

In an ever changing world of preferences, and with the ongoing shift in the relationship revolution between companies and their consumers, is there still such a thing a BRAND LOYALTY?

On its 16th year, Reader’s Digest conducts its annual Trusted Brands Survey in recognition of the companies that have consistently maintained excellent products and service to earn them a Platinum or Gold award.

The grand awarding ceremony will be held on Wednesday June 4, 2014, at the CROWNE PLAZA MANILA  Gracing the event will be Readers Digest Asia editor in chief Sue Carney and Readers Digest Group Advertising Director for Asia Pacific, Sheron White as well as the top executives of the winning brands.

The Reader’s Digest Trusted Brands Survey has a well-established reputation as the premier consumer-based and international measure of brand preference. Each year, it has approached ordinary consumers and asked their opinions on what brands of products and services are important to them.

The survey is carried out on behalf of Reader’s Digest by Ipsos in 7 markets:  Hong Kong, India, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand and Philippines. Those surveyed include Reader’s Digest  subscribers as well as randomly selected consumers.

This year’s categories include consumer electronics, finance, household products, personal products, food and beverage, health and personal care, services, motoring, and telecommunications.

Respondents are asked to name their most trusted brand in each of the product categories, then give each brand named a rating on a scale from 1 (Poor) to 5 (Excellent) on six qualitative criteria: Trustworthiness & Credibility, Quality, Value, Understanding of Customer Needs, Innovative and Social Responsibility. Each brand then receives a score based on the number of times it was named by respondents, multiplied by the average rating of the six qualitative criteria.

Trusted Brand award winners are identified for each of the eight surveyed markets as well as on an Asia-wide level. In order to win an Asia Trusted Brand award, the brand must win a Trusted Brand award in at least 3 of the 7 markets surveyed.

Backed by years of research Readers Digest confidently dissects the features a trusted brand must possess in order to maintain relevance and purpose for Asian consumers. A trusted brand enjoys international appeal, yet at the same time upholds a strong local connection.

Being ranked on the Trusted Brand list is a great achievement, but maintaining this ranking involves a genuine commitment to protect and fulfil the promises made to the consumer. It means ensuring the quality doesn't drop. It means that great taste stays the same. And it definitely means delivering the same value and consumer satisfaction year in and year out, while always remaining open to innovation and reinvention – no easy task!

Are your favorite brands  among the most trusted in the Asia?

Edge of Tomorrow Holds Special Sneak Previews on June 2 & 3

“EDGE OF TOMORROW” HOLDS SNEAK PREVIEWS JUNE 2 & 3

Warner Bros. Pictures' new exhilarating sci-fi thriller “Edge of Tomorrow”starring Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt will have special sneak previews on Monday and Tuesday, June 2 & 3 in selected theaters across the country.

The Doug Liman-directed action-adventure will be available for previews in cinemas starting at 7PM on the aforementioned dates. Regular ticket prices will apply.

Hailed by U.S. critics as Cruise's “best movie in years,” “Edge of Tomorrow” currently has a 92% fresh rating at the review-consensus site Rottentomatoes.com. Variety's Justin Chang described the film as “cleverly crafted and propulsively executed sci-fi thriller,” while Edward Douglas of ComingSoon.net praised it as “The best action movie of the summer.”

The epic action of “Edge of Tomorrow” unfolds in a near future in which an alien race has hit the Earth in an unrelenting assault, unbeatable by any military unit in the world.

Major William Cage (Cruise) is an officer who has never seen a day of combat when he is unceremoniously dropped into what amounts to a suicide mission. Killed within minutes, Cage now finds himself inexplicably thrown into a time loop—forcing him to live out the same brutal combat over and over, fighting and dying again…and again.

But with each battle, Cage becomes able to engage the adversaries with increasing skill, alongside Special Forces warrior Rita Vrataski (Blunt). And, as Cage and Rita take the fight to the aliens, each repeated encounter gets them one step closer to defeating the enemy.

The international cast also includes Bill Paxton, Brendan Gleeson, Jonas Armstrong, Tony Way, Kick Gurry, Franz Drameh, Dragomir Mrsic and Charlotte Riley.
Liman directed “Edge of Tomorrow” from a screenplay by Christopher McQuarrie and Jez Butterworth & John-Henry Butterworth, based on the novel entitled All You Need is Kill by Hiroshi Sakurazaka.

Opening wide across the Philippines on June 5, “Edge of Tomorrow” will be distributed in 2D, 3D and IMAX 3D by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.
