Jardine Distribution, Inc. (JDI)
continues its commitment to promote health and wellness through sports by
partnering with the Rowers Club Philippines Sea Dragon Inc., a rowing
organization that’s been promoting the sport of dragon boat padding for the
past 17 years.
The RCP’s dragon boat racing team, called the Sea Dragons, holds
training activities at the Manila Ocean Park four times a week. The RCP is
active not only in helping its members achieve wellness and fulfillment through
their chosen sport but also in projects that benefit others.
JDI and RCP officials signed an
agreement on May 14th which commits JDI to provide rash guard shirts
to the Sea Dragon members for their use in training and competition. Rash
guards are special athletic wear for water sports; they protect the wearing
from rashes caused by abrasion as well as from the sun’s heat. JDI is providing the rash guard shirts
through its brand, Sureseal Elastomeric Sealant.
“Members of the Sea Dragons need
proper protection when they are paddling as they are exposed to the risks of
chaffing and abrasions when they are on the boat and in the water. The heat of the sun can also get really
intense. Rash guards are very important in keeping our rowers safe and helping
them perform at their best during training and races. The RCP appreciates very much the contribution that JDI is
making to our dragon boat athletes,” said RCP President Christian Villar.
As a company, JDI believes in
helping people, including its employees, achieve health through a physically
active lifestyle.
“JDI has employee fitness programs that include Zumba,
Bowling, and Badminton. We believe that we can all perform better at work and
in our personal lives when we are fit. This is why, as part of our partnership
with RCP, we have asked them to train our employees, those who are interested,
in the sport of dragon boat paddling,” said Mr. Edwin Hernandez, JDI President
and General Manager. The JDI-RCP partnership formally kicks off with a
200-meter dragon boat race in Camarines Norte on June 13 and 14, 2014.
Jardine Distribution, Inc. offers
Sureseal, an elastomeric sealant with “Iwas-Crack” advantage. Unlike other brands, it does not crack
because of its elastic formulation that moves with the substrate. It is an
effective sealant not only for GI roofing but also for gutters and downspouts.
