Ginebra San Miguel "2018 Limited Edition Ginebra Ako Jersey Collection" is available starting April 15!

If you are a true blue Ginebra San Miguel and a Jaworski fan and been longing to own the 2018 Limited Edition Ginebra Ako Jersey Collection.

Then this one's for you.

The Ginebra San Miguel recently launched its 2018 Limited Edition Ginebra Ako Jersey Collection on March 21 at Metrowalk. Watch out for the all new five collectible jersey designs from your favorite Ginebra players. You can collect them all or choose from: Japeth Aguilar 25, Scottie Thompson 6, L.A. Tenorio 5, Greg Slaughter 20, and Mark Caguioa 47 jerseys.

The uniform makes the player – it is a known fact that in basketball, wearing the jersey exhibits more than just tools for recognition against the opposing team. From the colors to the sewn patches, the jersey serves as the representation of the team and all it stands for. This is the philosophy practiced by Barangay Ginebra San Miguel.

To avail of the 2018 Limited Edition Ginebra Ako Jersey Collection, purchase and collect either six (6) seals of Ginebra San Miguel or Vino Kulafu; or four (4) caps of GSM Blue or GSM Blue Flavors, Primera Light Brandy, or GSM Premium Gin. Just add 100 pesos and claim your own “Ginebra Ako” jersey from any partner redemption outlets nationwide. Promo duration is from April 15 to June 15, 2018. 

For the past four decades, the jerseys of Barangay Ginebra San Miguel have become the embodiment of the team – from its decorated history to its virtues.
Last year, the Ganado Classics: 3 Decade Jersey Collection celebrated the historical moments of Ginebra. Every jersey in the collection showcased remarkable Ginebra stories behind it like winning its first PBA title in the 1986 PBA Open Conference and bagging the PBA Governors’ Cup Championship in 2016 after an eight-year title drought.

Unlike last year where the jerseys were used to recount the past, Ginebra San Miguel Inc. (GSMI) has launched the 2018 Limited Edition Ginebra Ako Jersey Collection to make the present more meaningful. It also pays homage to the “Never Say Die” spirit the whole Ginebra San Miguel community is truly proud of.

The term “Ginebra Ako” signifies the team’s resilience, determination, and perseverance throughout the four decades of playing in the PBA. During these times, it is hard to miss that the fans have also embodied the aforementioned qualities. Exhibiting sheer dedication and true value to teamwork has essentially fleshed out a new and deeper meaning to being ganado, thus making them “more Ginebra”.

Aside from the “Ginebra Ako” statement, some of the notable designs embedded on the jersey are the four stars, which represent Barangay Ginebra San Miguel’s four-decade stay in the PBA; and the crown, which depicts the team’s domination in both realms of basketball and the hard liquor industry (being the undisputed no. 1 selling gin in the world).

There are also three marks that verify the jersey’s authenticity. First, the Ginebra San Miguel Label Tag, the iconic Ginebra San Miguel label featured as the tag of every jersey embodies the long-standing heritage and culture the basketball team represents via the product. Second, the Patch of Authenticity with an embroidered signature of none other than the winningest coach in PBA history, Tim Cone, confirms the jersey is 100% authentic. Third, the ‘Never Say Die’ Patch located on the backside of the jersey features the team’s mantra and represents the team’s resilience, which they are popularly known for.

These limited edition jerseys will be worn by the team in the upcoming 2018 PBA Commissioner’s Cup starting April 2018.


Meanwhile, participants of the upcoming Ginebra San Miguel 3-on-3 Tournament will also be wearing the new jerseys, wherein 16 teams from 16 different areas play against each other to become the next Ginebra San Miguel 3-on-3 Grand Champions. The top two finalists will get to live their dreams and play at the Araneta Coliseum for the championship. The winning team gets to take home P50,000.

Sports advocate Mike Swift also known as “Mr. Pinoy Hoops” and his team will be painting murals depicting “Ginebra Ako” on every court that will be visited in the 3-on-3 tournaments. The 3rd Ginebra San Miguel 3-on-3 Tournament will be done in partnership with the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA).

The 2018 Limited Edition Ginebra Ako Jersey Collection and 3-on-3 tournaments are proof that after 40 years, Barangay Ginebra and their “Never Say Die” spirit is very much alive.

Get yourself checked if you suffered symptoms from Peripheral Neuropathy

My mother in law suffered from peripheral neuropathy long before she was diagnosed with Diabetes 2. She complained about the numbness of her feet most of the times. She has difficulty walking or just standing up. She elevated her feet when she felt pins and needles puncturing her feet.

She was heavy on medication and the symptoms further worsened when her blood sugar shoots up.

The damage to nerve systems results from high blood sugar levels and risk levels increase for those with this disease who have high blood pressure, are overweight, or are older than 40.

That's why I exercised a lot (I really have to squeeze it to my schedule) and checking what I eat. It is best to have a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Get yourself tested for this disease. Visit your doctor if you suffer for feet numbness, muscle weakness and symptoms of peripheral neuropathy. Then again, what are the symptoms, can it be treated?. What food are best if you are suffering from this disease.



I got myself tested for peripheral neuropathy when I attended the Nenoin Study event at Marco Polo Hotel on March 21 using the portable machine. It tested your numbness sensation from 1-20. I had 5-9.  Thank God I had a normal result.


In keeping your nerves healthy, a diet rich  in whole grains, vegetables, fruits, and lean protein is a good idea. If you must,  incorporate a 30-minute work out session in your weekly schedule. Engage yourself in healthy lifestyle.

Peripheral Neuropathy is a disorder affecting nerves, impairing them in their function of transmitting information and potentially affecting millions of people worldwide. Peripheral Neuropathy can cause various body discomforts, such as tingling, increased or decreased sensitivity to vibration, hot or cold, numbness, muscle weakness and even burning pain. Peripheral Neuropathy can cause "typical symptoms" which appear more often and "atypical symptoms, which are less frequent and can be overlooked or misinterpreted.

Example of symptoms of Peripheral Neuropathy: PARESTHESIA, NUMBNESS, BURNING PAIN,  SHARP PAIN


Symptoms of peripheral neuropathy can seem innocuous but have an impact of the patients' well-being and their quality of life. Early detection and treatment are crucial as well as effective treatment options, which relieve patients from their symptoms without having to suffer from significant side effects.


Causes and risk factors of peripheral neuropathy are multiple and include conditions such as:

Genetics Family member suffers from neuropathy); chronic diseases, like diabetes; environmental toxins, alcoholism; nutritional deficiencies e g vitamin B deficiency and other unexplained causes.

Neurobion Forte treatment: Neurotropic B vitamins combination has been proven effectively for peripheral neuropathy sufferers in relieving symptoms, which have been included into the study independently from the cause of their disease. The symptoms were even more reduced over longer duration of treatment (for a 3 months period tested and the treatment was well tolerated.

New observational, non-interventional clinical study-a giant leap for taking care of peripheral neuropathy sufferers 

Clinical study shows benefits on symptoms of peripheral neuropathy 

Peripheral neuropathy sufferers treated with a combination of three neurotropic B vitamins have experienced improvement on all neuropathy symptoms observed in the study independently from the cause of their neuropathy. 

NERVES 

The nervous system allows us to perceive, comprehend, and respond to the world around us. It coordinates voluntary actions like walking and involuntary actions like breathing and swallowing, Nerves, the components of the nervous tissue, enable impulses sensation and motion between the brain, spinal cord and other parts of the body. 

OBSERVATIONAL, NON-INTERVENTIONAL CLINICAL STUDY CONFIRMS THE BENEFITS OF A UNIQUE TREATMENT FOR ALL

 A new clinical study (Asian Journal of Medical Sciences, lan 2018) has brought a major step forward for nerve health: it has demonstrated that an effective treatment helps relieve all neuropathy symptoms (observed in the study), regardless of the cause of peripheral neuropathy.

Whether the patients were suffering from numbness, pain or paraesthesia (usually painless sensation like tingling or itching, often felt in the arms and feet, they experienced relief on all these symptoms. It was also observed that the longer they used the treatment, the more relief the patients felt from these symptoms.

Finally it is also very reassuring to see that the treatment has shown a good tolerance profile over the whole duration (3 months)
