MILO® Philippines officially launched its newest campaign, “My MILO® Story”, at SM Megamall, highlighting the personal connections Filipinos have with the brand. The campaign celebrates stories that go beyond a morning drink or sports practice, emphasizing experiences that shape character and build champions.
The campaign is headlined by pole vaulting champion EJ Obiena and rising international tennis star Alex Eala, who embodies the journey from grassroots sports programs to global recognition. Eala, the first Filipina to break into the Top 50 of the PIF WTA Rankings, reflects MILO®’s belief that sports programs can shape future champions not just in sports, but in life.
“MILO® has always been more than just the Filipino kids’ favorite breakfast drink—it’s been a companion in the journey of every Filipino champion,” said Lawrence Lorico, Vice President of Marketing, MILO® Philippines. “Through the My MILO® Story campaign, we’re celebrating the incredible diversity of experiences that connect us all through sports, nutrition, and the MILO® brand.”
The campaign launch also featured testimonials from notable Filipino athletes:
-
Commissioner Walter Torres shared how MILO® supported his early fencing journey.
-
Nikko Huelgas, Philippine Olympic Committee representative, recounted how participating in the MILO® Marathon inspired his transition from swimming to triathlon.
