As the Worldwide Olympic Partner and the
Official Ice Cream of the Philippine Olympic Team, Aice underscores its
commitment to supporting athletes and promoting a ‘healthy and quality’
lifestyle by highlighting the inspiring stories of Filipino olympians Carlos
Yulo, Elreen Ando and, Nesthy Petecio. Their stories will be featured in a
video series that will be streamed via the official Aice Philippines Facebook
page.
Aice firmly believes that the remarkable
energy and perseverance of Filipino athletes as shown in the videos will serve
as a profound source of inspiration for the youth throughout the country.
In his video, Yulo imparts some encouraging
words to aspirants, “Ang maipapayo ko
lang sa mga kabataang katulad kong atleta o estudyante, ay maging mas
enthusiastic kayo sa mga bagay na gusto ninyong gawin. ‘Wag kayo mawalan ng
pag-asa, ituloy ninyo lang kung ano ‘yung ginagawa ninyo at siyempre, ‘wag
kalimutang magpasalamat sa itaas at mag-enjoy.”
[“The only advice I can give for today’s
youth, especially athletes and students, is to be more enthusiastic in the
things you are passionate about. Don’t give up, just keep going, and don’t
forget to thank God and enjoy the journey.”]
Elreen Ando
also recounted her humble beginnings, “I started weightlifting at 13 years old. From dating batang walang
kinabukasan na na-discover lang ng isang coach na naghahanap ng atleta, after
one year, napasok po ako sa national team. Doon na po nag-start ang naging
journey ko. Ito na po ako ngayon, isang atleta na nag-qualify sa Paris Olympics.”
[“I
started weightlifting at 13 years old. From a kid that didn’t have a future to
being discovered by a coach, after a year, I made it to the national team. That
is when my journey began. And now, I am an athlete who is qualified to compete
at the Paris Olympics.”]
“Pinaka-memorable
na journey sa career ko ‘yung first laban ko na lalaki ‘yung kalaban ko ang sa
inter-barangay na laro ‘yun. And ito na ako ngayon, maglalaro na sa pangalawa
kong Olympics sa Paris,” Nesthy Petecio proudly
shares.
[“The
most memorable part of my career’s journey was my very first competition, I was
up against a man, it was an inter-barangay competition. Now, here I am
competing at my second Olympics in Paris.”]
Like these Filipino athletes who work hard in
the Olympics, Aice is committed to continually enhancing the quality of their
products in pursuit of global success. Its dedication to innovation and
excellence embodies the same spirit of perseverance and ambition that drives
our athletes forward.
As we celebrate the achievements of these
remarkable individuals, Aice is honored to reflect their values in its
designation as the Worldwide Olympic Partner and the Official Ice Cream of the
Philippine Olympic Team. Upholding its 'healthy and quality' philosophy, Aice
strives to consistently offer delicious, innovative, and affordable ice cream
products that their customers have grown to love.
The journey of the brand, akin to that of the
celebrated athletes, exemplifies the power of determination and the relentless
pursuit of dreams. Entering the market was no easy feat with such fierce
competition but like many athletes, Aice started from humble beginnings. There were
significant challenges to overcome before emerging as a leading brand in
Southeast Asia.
In its early years, Aice employees navigated
the streets of Southeast Asia with foam boxes filled with ice cream and dry
ice, bringing their products directly to the people. Without a factory nor a
market, the team repurposed an underground garage into a makeshift office,
sleeping on meeting room tables and working from dining tables. Through
persistent dedication and hard work, Aice gradually opened markets, eventually
reaching extraordinary industry milestones.
To date in the Philippines, Aice has launched
over 30 ice cream flavors, including some crowd favorites like Chocolate
Crispy, Mochi Ice Cream, Coffee Macchiato, and Sweet Corn. With coverage
extending to more than 100,000 sari-sari store outlets nationwide, this
remarkable growth is a testament to the impact of unyielding commitment and
perseverance.
Aice invites their patrons to watch these
inspiring stories to witness the dedication that drives these athletes to the
pinnacle of their sport and see how Aice is honored to be a part of their
journey. Catch these videos here:

inspire young Filipinos to pursue their own dreams but also foster a deeper
connection between our community and the remarkable individuals who represent
us on the global stage. Together, we celebrate the spirit of perseverance and
success that defines both our brand and our nation's athletes,” shared Shereene Yu De Leon, Brand Manager of Aice Philippines.
