FILA Philippines' Ambassadors - country’s national rugby team, the Philippine Volcanoes, celebrity/model Fabio Ide and socialite / fashionista Tessa Prieto - Valdez visited the Fila store of Glorieta and SM Mall of Asia to meet and greet their fans this weekend June 22, 2014. 

FILA Philippines is the Official sponsor for the Philippine Volcanoes starting last year when the team vie for the Rugby World Cup held at Moscow Russia.

FILA has been in the sportswear business for many years. It comes from a long line of athletes who immersed themselves on the art of their sport. The brand has actively participated in several sports events and activities and have supported several national teams and athletes.

I'm also the fan of national rugby team! I really admired them for their power, tenacity and skill.

The fans had so much fun and excitements during the meet and greet with the Philippine Volcanoes, Fabio and Ms. Tessa! Aside from the fan, some fans had bought shirts and shoes and had been autographed by FILA ambassadors, plus more fun with the picture taking with them.

Fabio Ide really loves the Philippines, immersing himself in all things Filipino. Aside from modelling, he is busy improving his other craft now - acting and hosting in events.

We all enjoyed the wonderful weekend and had a day full of treats from Fila. Thanks FILA!

Congratulations to the Philippine Volcanoes for winning their game against the UAE during the Asian 5 Nations Rugby Championship, Saturday May 18, 2013 at the Rizal Memorial Stadium in Manila, Philippines.

The Volcanoes, the Philippine rugby team came up with a brave, battling game to smother the United Arab Emirates, 24-8, held at Rizal Memorial Stadium Saturday night. The Volcanoes whip UAE, keep its spot in the HSBC Asian Five Nations elite group at least until next year.

The Volcanoes, who made their debut in the division this year, won for the first time after dropping matches against champion Japan, Hong Kong and Korea in their first three assignments.

This proved that Filipinos can play rugby. The Volcanoes  are a force in Asia being in the top five and I really believe that we deserve to be here. The victory installed the Philippines as No. 4 in the continent. 

The night with about 5,700 spectators , the biggest attendance ever in a rugby game held in the Philippines showed up and the majority of them expatriates who cheered both sides.

Thanks FILA Philippines for giving us, tri-media people the chance to witness the first, live great championship rugby game here in  our country! This is one experience of being inside the game, with full of excitement and cheers!
