Allianz Philippines and Conquer Challenge working together to promote Obstacle Course Racing

Allianz PNB Life Insurance, the local entity of Allianz, the world’s leading insurer, announces its partnership with Conquer Challenge Philippines, to promote obstacle course racing in the Philippines.

 

The partnership includes the staging of three major races under the name Allianz Conquer Challenge, the first of which, will be on 13 May at the Vermosa, Daang Hari in Imus, Cavite. 

In a press launch held at the Allianz PNB Life office in Makati, Alexander Grenz, Chief Operating Officer at Allianz PNB Life, expressed his enthusiasm in the partnership emphasizing how the company would like to create a positive impact on people’s lives by making them experience new challenges through an obstacle course race. “OCR is a sport that has started to gather a strong following in the Philippines. We at Allianz believe that this sport can inspire Filipinos to take on a new challenge and embrace it without fear,” he said.

Grenz explained that the challenges in the race give individuals a chance to test their mind and body’s capability to get a serious workout. “OCR challenges one to develop endurance and physical strength as well as better coordination skills,” he added.

Allianz Chief Market Management Officer Gae Martinez, however, affirmed the growing patronage of Obstacle Course Racing Sports in the Philippines, lodging her support as more and more Filipinos  become interested on the sport that calls for mental alertness, emotional stability, and physical endurance to overcome obstacles in lives. This is true for millenials who comprise a great number of obstacle course racers, but also for GenXers who have also tried it. The increasing awareness of Filipinos to live a healthy and active lifestyle is indicative of a shift of lifestyle that now recognizes the threats of critical illness, but at the same time the pursuit of aspirations for a better future.

Conquer Challenge President Rob Afzelius shares that Allianz Conquer Challenge, with its key message of “Dare to Conquer your Impossible, consists of three races: the Conquer Challenge Power Race which is a 7 Km + 20 obstacles race, the Conquer Challenge Beginner’s obstacle Race, which is 3 Km + 12 obstacles, and even a Conquer Challenge Kids race that is 1.5 km long plus at least 7 obstacles. Kids joining the race must be accompanied by an adult. We see this partnership with Allianz as fit because both entities’ are aligned in inspiring the Filipino never to waiver on its aspirations.

Rei Abrazaldo, Allianz Philippines’ Branding Communications and Digital Director revealed that the company’s foray into supporting obstacle course races is part of a special trio of activities on 13 May, that espouses Filipinos’ to take part in a fitness activity. Abrazaldo explains – Allianz Philippines declares 13 May as Allianz Day of Courage, because aside from the Allianz Conquer Challenge , the company is also supporting two other sporting events on the same day, namely, the Philippine Heart Association Heart Run at SM By the Bay and the Bayanihan Walk in Singapore.

 

Allianz globally has been supporting various sports and institutions like football, Paralympics, golf and rugby, among other sports that capture the emotional spirit of its business and inspire millions of people around the world with stories of human achievement through sport and innovation.

The ANG Family's UNICORN ISLAND Experience

 

Early Thursday morning, The ANG Family was up for a new adventure to north area. It was for the family to experience the newest UNICORN ISLAND. What really excites me few days before our trip was the Pink & Purple Lounge.

 

 

We arrived at the Inflatable Island with so much excitement to dip in the clear water and witness the opening of the latest addition, The Unicorn Island. Of course, the young ANG was double and triple excited for her first inflatable experience.

 

The world's first unicorn is now floating here in the Philippines. This first giant Unicorn Island can bring your magical dreams to life. You don't need to imagine, you just need to experience it. Yes, it is the biggest floating playground in Asia. That can be a world record.

 

The Inflatable Island itself features inflatable slides, bridges, swings and towers that you can try for fun. Kids and kids at heart will definitely enjoy the island. As my daughter and my youngest sister had their share of wonderful experience. Starting from the rainbow walk, you'll know, it's the start of your magical experience.

 

 

 

 

 

The activities includes the Jungle Bars, which Mr. Ang had so much fun, the Kiddie slide and the trampoline. Time flies really while watching them enjoy every steps and every fall. Yes, I only took their videos and photos. Seeing them having fun is just enough for me. I can say that you will need a whole day to super enjoy all the activities with some pauses to catch your energy.

 

 

 Yes, what you can see the is the UNLI BBQ. If you are a fan of barbecues, you'll surely by stand on this corner. Because playing on the inflatables makes you hungry, this unli thing can surely cover your hunger.

 

 

The launch was supported by some generous sponsors, namely Lily's Peanut Butter and Smirnoff.  Before we left the place, Lily's Peanut Butter gave us baon (take home) on our way home. Yes, the much needed refreshment helped out beat the summer heat. Though our visit was a real blessing. The clouds was a little dark but not raining.

 

 

 

The Bali Lounge at night is so lovely. A romantic sight where I would wish to stay forever. My obsession with purple and pink strikes again. Yes, The ANG Family wearing our purple top too.

 

All in all, the adventure of my kids, including my youngest sister and my husband was super awesome. Me, as a watcher, photographer and videographer had so much joy in my heart seeing them with their big smiles.

 

If you are planning for a family getaway or even company team building, the Inflatable Island should be on your list.

MONTESSORI DE SAN JUAN : Taking the first step to STEM

 

Local school partners with US-Based STEM program for child-friendly engineering education

Back in 2009, a parent named Dori Roberts had a hard time finding an educational program to get her six- and eight-year-old started on engineering. The Virginian mother was also an educator specializing in math and science, and she quickly realized that there is a need for a Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) program that is geared towards young children.

Where most parents would have just given up and enrolled their children in regular schools, Roberts saw opportunity. With her extensive background in STEM and a passion for teaching, she started Engineering for Kids (EFK), which is now one of the world’s most popular child-friendly STEM programs. It is franchised and implemented in 30 American States and in 30 other countries.

Thankfully, Philippines, will not miss out on this excellent STEM course. Montessori de San Juan, a local school that utilizes the latest in techniques in both traditional and progressive learning, recently partnered with EFK and is offering the after-school program as an extra-curricular activity to its students.

 

The program is offered to students four- to fourteen-years old, and features fun and interesting ways to present engineering concepts appropriate to each individual child. It goes beyond just classes by giving children opportunities to learn more about STEM through workshops, camps, and other events. Through these exercises, the children learn problem-solving, cooperation, critical thinking, and many other skills that will serve them well in the future.

 
MD Principal Sandy Arellano, who has a Masters Degree in Education and is one of the country’s leading voices on integrated learning, believes that the EFK program will not only teach, but also inspire students. “The hands-on activities offered in EFK will foster their natural curiosity,” said Arellano. “Once that curiosity is activated, the students will continue to explore and develop their problem-solving, analytical, and applied knowledge skills.”

Currently, the EFK program is offered throughout kindergarten and junior high-school. It operates like a school club and is applied outside of regular school activities. The program runs for two quarters of the school year and is available for both students of MDS and those from other schools. The program costs P10,000, but MDS students may avail of the program for a discounted rate of P7,500.

Although the EFK program is not available for Senior High School Students, MDS offers top-rated tracks in Humanities, General Academics, and Accounting & Business Management for its Senior High curriculum.

Kidzania is actually my daughter's favorite place. This is her happiest place on earth, according to her. We got so excited to do her first job, which is to design her own favorite Goldilocks mammon.

 

 

Such activities include, an indoor “play city” which taught the children the value of spending and earning money by applying for “jobs” one of which was a ability to work and create cakes in a mini bakeshop that has been partnered with Goldilocks, and much more!

In addition to the activities during the event, entertainment acts such as dance numbers were present, guaranteeing a fun filled day for everyone in attendance. The surprise dance number of the Goldilocks mascot even made the event more fun with the kids.

 

 

 

The event was a hit to everyone in attendance as all members, both young and old were able to experience the joy of working hand in hand while simultaneously learning through the process of doing.
