RAIN OR SHINE OWNER TERRY QUE: A Range of Feelings Following the Governor’s Cup Campaign

Terry Que, a co-owner of Rain or Shine (RoS) Elasto Painters, was both pleased and disappointed with the team’s performance in the just finished PBA Governor’s Cup.

The franchise, which Raymund Yu also co-owns, saw its season campaign come to a premature end after losing their best-of-seven series to the Tropang Giga on TNT.

Since the Elasto painters were pitted against the more seasoned TNT Tropang Giga, just making it to the semifinals is itself a significant accomplishment. It was a difficult task, but regardless of the result, RoS learned an important lesson.

“Nakarating kami ng semifinals for the first time sa mahabang panahon. Malaking achievement na yun. Pagdating dito, alam naman namin na malakas yung kalaban namin,” said Que. “Alam naman namin na mahirap sila talunin sa series. Pero umasa kami na maka-isa, maka-dalawa. Kaya saying”, added Que.

While the team displayed flashes of brilliance and fought hard in every game, inconsistencies and injuries ultimately ended their playoff run.

“We had a good start to the conference, but we had some challenges” Que admitted. “It’s frustrating but we have to learn from our mistakes and come back stronger next season. Tsaka sabi ni Coach Yeng positive lang. So, positive din kami” shared Que.

The Elasto painters began the conference with a strong 3-0 record, showcasing their offensive firepower and defensive intensity. However, during the middle of the season, RoS experienced a dip in form, losing several crucial games and dropping to the middle of the team standings.

The Elasto painters made a late push to climb back into contention, but it was not enough to secure a playoff berth. Other factors include injuries to several key players, disrupting the team’s chemistry and depth.

Rain or Shine has shown signs of promise despite the dismal ending. The Elasto Painters can strive to be a formidable force in the forthcoming Philippine Cup with a healthier team and increased consistency.

The team learned an important lesson from their performance in the Governor’s Cup. Rain or Shine will also be hoping to get stronger in the league and learn from their mistakes as the PBA season progresses.

PBA Finals Game 1 Draws Massive Crowd

The much-anticipated PBA Governors’ Cup Finals between Barangay Ginebra San Miguel and TNT Tropang Giga kicked off with a bang, drawing a massive crowd to the Ynares Center in Antipolo City. A total of 11,021 fans attended Game One of between Barangay Ginebra and TNT – the largest PBA crowd in the venue.

The game, which saw TNT dominate Ginebra 104-88, was a testament to the league’s enduring popularity.

PACKED TO THE RAFTERS

The Ynares Center was filled to capacity, with fans from both teams creating a vibrant and electric atmosphere. The passionate crowd cheered on their respective teams, adding to the intensity of the game. The huge turnout underscored the intense rivalry between Ginebra and TNT, two of the most popular teams in the PBA.

BARANGAY GINEBRA AND TNT TROBANG GIGA RIVALRY

The high attendance for Game 1 is a promising sign for the rest of the series. With both teams boasting talented rosters and passionate fan bases, the PBA Governors’ Cup Finals is expected to be one of the most exciting and competitive series in recent years.

The crowd attendance surpassed the previous high of 10,952 set on December 21, 2011 during a quarterfinal doubleheader between Barangay Ginebra and Rain or Shine, and Petron and Meralco during the 2011-12 Philippine Cup.

Long time PBA fan Marlon Estrada who came with his wife Eloisa enjoyed the action-packed Game 1 even if his PBA team San Miguel Beer is not playing for contention. “Thankful ako kasi yung finals ng PBA nandito sa Ynares Center. Malapit sa amin sa Teresa and tamang-tama, Sunday ngayon kaya parang date na din namin. Masaya akong nakitang enjoy ang asawa ko kasi first time din nyang nakanood ng PBA” shared Estrada.

Rizalenyos and PBA fans from nearby provinces and even cities braved the traffic going to the venue. The PBA Game 1 tickets between Barangay Ginebra and TNT Tropang Giga were selling like hot cakes and PBA fans can be seen entering the Ynares Center even after the start of the game.

Incidentally, Game One was also for a cause as the PBA Board announced during a press conference in Taguig City that all Game 1 earnings will go to the calamity victims.

Board chair Ricky Vargas of Meralco said all Game 1 earnings will be coursed by the PBA through the Alagang Kapatid Foundation Inc., the corporate social responsibility organization of TV5 Network Inc.

Anytime Fitness is celebrating strength and fitness by bringing back the Battle of the Purple Champions

21 teams battled it out for the ultimate title of Purple Champions

COO of Inspire Brands Asia, Mark De Joya takes an energizing group photo with our Purple Champions

Battle of the Purple Champions, Anytime Fitness’ much-anticipated strength competition, returned on August 25, igniting the spirit of community and strength once more. The occasion showcased the abilities of its community members around the nation and highlighted the best in health and fitness. With challenges based on real-world situations, this year’s competition offered something new and challenged competitors to go beyond standard training regimens.

Samuel Diones, John Kenneth Solonia, Danilo M. Quirabo Jr., Tristan Ivan Melgarejo, and Dexter Ansaldo were the winners of Team Anytime Fitness Ecoland Davao. With this triumph, they have now won three straight championships; they have also won in 2018 and 2019. In an astounding period of seven minutes and eighteen seconds, the team secured the victory. It is indeed a fun and enthralling fitness activity, as they have shared their talents and camaraderie and are able to move their bodies at the same time. We totally enjoyed all the performances and got inspired by the dedication.

Team Anytime Fitness Ecoland Davao consisting of Samuel Diones, John Kenneth Solonia, Danilo M. Quirabo Jr., Tristan Ivan Melgarejo, and Dexter Ansaldo wins First Place at Battle of the Purple Champions!

Securing second place was Team Anytime Fitness Bacoor with a time of 8 minutes and 44 seconds, while Team Anytime Fitness Mall of Asia took third place, completing the course in 9 minutes and 2 seconds.

Strength in Teamwork

Winning the title didn’t come easy for Team Ecoland Davao. All teams faced grueling workouts in the qualifying rounds, striving to complete the challenges in the shortest time. For the champions, teamwork, focus, and effective communication were key to their success.

Reflecting on their third win, the team shared, “We are incredibly grateful for the opportunity to compete again and proud to be champions. This event reminded us that anyone can be a champion if they work hard and persevere. Our journey shows that dedication pays off.”

The team members hope their victory inspires others to pursue an active lifestyle and reminds everyone that you can be a champion anywhere, Anytime.

“To be a champion, you need discipline and consistency in your workouts. We didn’t become champions overnight; it took patience and hard work. Not everyone can persevere through the challenges, but if you stay focused and committed, the results will come,” the team emphasized.

A Unique Comeback

This year’s Battle of the Purple Champions embraced a new approach, turning everyday activities into fun, fitness-oriented challenges. With Anytime Fitness’ state-of-the-art equipment on hand, participants pushed their limits while engaging in creative tasks.

The competition kicked off with Moving Day, a challenge inspired by the milestone of moving houses. Teams were tasked with organizing a shuffled room by lifting and arranging furniture to match a given layout.

Next was the Sandbag Shuffle, where teams carried five sandbags, loaded them onto a sled, and navigated through obstacles, testing their core, leg, and upper body strength.

To acknowledge the growing biking trend in the Philippines, the Bike Race challenge required teams to alternate between stationary biking and high jumps on a plyometric box, combining endurance and explosive power.

The final challenge, Champion’s Climb, saw participants racing up and down a staircase while carrying kettlebells, reminiscent of the strength required during travel.

Although Team Ecoland Davao emerged as the champions, every team exemplified the event’s core message that “real life never stops.”

Celebrating Champions

Mark de Joya, COO of Inspire Brands Asia, commented on the success of the event: “We are proud not just of our athletes who gave it their all during Battle of the Purple Champions, but for all who came to celebrate with us. At Anytime Fitness, we always want to push boundaries; that said, we want to take this chance to remind everyone that anyone can be a Champion – you just need to have a fighting spirit committed to making yourself a better version of yourself everyday.”

In Korea, Januarius Holdings intensifies the Fighting Maroons’ training

UPMBT in Korea

The Pre-season is being utilized to its fullest by the UP Fighting Maroons as they prepare for UAAP Season 87.

The UP Men’s Basketball Team will spend two weeks practicing in Novi Sad, Serbia, where they defeated collegiate and professional teams in every tune-up game. From July 28 to August 9, they will return to Korea to continue their training.

In keeping with his pledge to be the Maroons’ “training buddy” from 2018, longtime UPMBT supporter JJ Atencio, CEO of Januarius Holdings Inc. (JHI), has once again helped the squad improve by funding their abroad preparations.

Although Atencio hails from Ateneo de Manila University, he has been one of the staunchest supporters of the Fighting Maroons, pledging to take care of their athletic training abroad yearly to prepare them for the upcoming collegiate seasons.

Atencio supports the team in a very focused way – by funding their training in places where they could get better. He has funded the Maroons’ training in Las Vegas, Serbia, Japan and Korea in various years.

“In the beginning, when they were the perennial underdogs and had not yet won a championship, I was attracted to the UP story. I identified with them because they were underdogs and I had a similar experience. Through hard work, persistence, dedication, integrity, sincerity and prayer, you can reach your goal. And I did, they did.”

STATS Technical Sportswear, a subsidiary of JHI, has also outfitted the Maroons and produced their official merchandise since Atencio started supporting the team.

“JHI is one with the UP Men’s Basketball Team as we all strive to be stronger and better in Season 87,” said Atencio. “Since we entered into a partnership with UP, our goal is to be a contender every year, which we have done for several seasons now. But we are not stopping there.”

“The story of the UP Fighting Maroons, who were once an underdog and now is a team to beat, continues to resonate with me and our company. That’s what makes this team special. Some may see them as the top dog now, but deep inside, they still have that underdog mentality. They will keep trying and trying and will stay hungry all the time,” Atencio added.

Bo Perasol, director of the UP Office for Athletics and Sports Development (UP OASD), acknowledged the teams’ gratitude for Atencio’s efforts’ significant contribution to the Fighting Maroons’ progress both on and off the court.

“JJ is like a father figure to the boys. We are really grateful for his generosity and help in our overseas training camps. More than that, we are extremely blessed to have him as a partner in guiding the players and looking after them beyond the corners of the basketball court,” said Perasol. Coach Bo was UP’s head coach when Atencio first partnered with the team in 2018.

Vermosa opens its Athlete’s House, advancing its goal to assist PH Sports


[L-R] Ayala Land Estates Senior Project Development Head Mayi Rodriguez, Ayala Land Estates Head Chris Maglanoc, Imus City Administrator Tito Monzon, Ayala Corp. Managing Director and Corporate Resources Head Francisco Milan, Ayala Foundation President Tony Lambino
 

At the Ayala Vermosa Sports Hub inside Vermosa Estate in Imus, Cavite, a Athlete’s House has opened with the goal of improving the training of elite national athletes who are honing their abilities for national and international tournaments.

On July 10, the 30-room athletes’ housing, situated on the expansive Sports Hub premises of the 752-hectare Ayala Land estate, was formally opened. Shortly thereafter, the Athletics Center Dugout’s groundbreaking ceremony was held.

One of only three football pitches in the nation with a valid FIFA certification, the Athlete’s House is conveniently located near the various sports facilities of the Ayala Vermosa Sports Hub. These facilities include an Olympic-sized swimming pool that meets FINA standards and has a warm-up area, an IAAF-certified 400-meter track oval, a multi-sport open field, and an indoor fitness center with a sports science laboratory.

Designed with the Filipino athlete in mind, room configurations are built to suit a team seeking a comfortable and convenient home base for training or a family looking for an active getaway. The bathrooms have a three-way feature to enable three persons to use the shower, toilet, and vanity area simultaneously. There are other offers such as a marketplace, open bar and lounge that guests will enjoy. The best part is that the training facilities and gym are just a few meters away.

The Athletics’ Center Dugout meanwhile is the only missing piece to the FIFA Certified football field that will turn the AVSH grounds into a busy competition venue for both professional and amateur leagues. It is projected for completion in the first quarter of 2025. The facility features locker rooms for playing teams, a dedicated room for officials and referees, a room for media partners, and an open deck for VIP guests with panoramic views of the field and track. AVSH also improves spectator experience by investing on expansive canopies to better protect spectators from the weather.

The professionally managed Ayala Vermosa Sports Hub has long been intended to be the premier training ground of amateur and professional athletes and the preferred venue for national and international sports events in the Philippines.

Among the athletes supported by Ayala Corp. are two-time Olympic swimmer Jasmine Alkhaldi; gold-medal archer Andrea Robles; youngest nationally ranked karateka Prince Alejo; world-ranked archer and SEAG medalist Pia Bidaure; world-ranked archer Abby Bidaure; Philippines’ top foil fencer Nat Perez; world-ranked fencer Noel Jose and Filipino Olympian pole vaulter EJ Obiena, currently ranked second in the world.

Recently, Vermosa also opened its facilities to the young athletes of Takbo Kabitenyo, a non-profit organization for young runners from Cavite who aspire to become national athletes one day.

“The formal inauguration of the Athlete’s House is a testament of Vermosa’s ongoing commitment to support Philippine sports and encourage a healthy and active lifestyle for all,” said Moses John (MJ) Aragones, Project Development Manager of Ayala Land Estates, Inc.

National sports associations including the Philippine Athletic and Track and Field Association, Philippine Rugby Football Union, and Triathlon Association of the Philippines regularly train at the Ayala Vermosa Sports Hub (AVSH). AVSH has a pay-per-use facility and is accessible to the general public. By making a reservation on the hotline 09674055782, anyone can train there.

The Takbo Kabitenyo group will also receive freebies and gifts from all Vermosa Green Run sponsors at the Run that will gun off on Sunday, June 30.

“We are committed to providing these aspiring athletes with the training, support and opportunities they need to achieve their dreams and represent our community on a national level,” said Ms. Roa. The Ayala Vermosa Sports Hub, envisioned to be the preferred venue for national and international sports events in the Philippines, will be a perfect training camp for the young Cavite athletes.

Noel Diaz, Takbo Kabitenyo president, expressed his gratitude for the support – ”We are deeply grateful to Ayala Land Estates Inc.and Vermosa  for choosing Takbo Kabitenyo as one of the beneficiaries of the 2024 The Green Run. The exposure to this prestigious event will hopefully inspire our young runners to elevate their aspirations and work even harder towards excellence in their chosen sports,” he said.

Ayala Land Estates has launched another running initiative alongside The Green Run this year called the Ayala Vermosa Running Club. It has weekly activities for its members and classes conducted by Ayala Vermosa Sports Hub coaches. The environment-themed run is also supporting the Pawssion Project and Haribon Foundation on its third year.

Fueled by its 2024 theme of ““Go Greener, Get Leaner, Give Back: Run Towards a Brighter Future”, The Green Run 2024 is supported by Avida Sentria Storeys, Kremil-S, Diatabs, Merrell, Pocari Sweat, Park Access, Chris Sports, Fitbar, Naturals, Healthway Medical Network, Fuwa Fuwa, Nutrition Depot, and Oishi.
