Gatorade introduces a new variant, and a powerhouse line-up of ambassadors

After a historic stroll down memory lane in celebration of its golden anniversary, Gatorade is all set to pave the way for greatness.

The world's favorite sports drink beefs up its roster with the official launch of its newest variant - the orange-and-grapefruit-flavor based White Lightning.

With the new variant comes a powerhouse line-up of ambassadors who are among the top local athletes of this generation -- UAAP volleyball superstars Alyssa Valdez from the Ateneo Lady Eagles and Mika Reyes from the De La Salle Lady Spikers together with the basketball hotshots Chris Banchero of the Alaska Aces and Jeron Teng of the De La Salle Green Archers.

"Coming from the 50th anniversary wherein we celebrated Gatorade's legacy of fueling local and international sports' greatest moments, we now want to focus on empowering a new breed of athletes and game changers," Pepsico Philippines Marketing Manager for Hydration Tony Atayde said. "Alyssa, Mika, Chris, and Jeron are top athletes who know the value of working hard to stay in peak form and understand that games aren't won on the court but in the gym and practice venues. We're excited to see them inspire more people to pursue active lifestyles and understand the value of proper hydration."

Road to greatness

Where does greatness begin?

Gatorade believes that it begins with hard work - the kind with no shortcuts, the kind that's relentless and that will make you ache and sweat. Whether the goal is to finish a 21K half marathon, climb a mountain peak, or just feel physically stronger overall, preparing yourself in the gym and constantly working to improve your game is key to winning on game day.

And with this kind of hard work, proper hydration is crucial to be able to push forward and grow stronger. 

With a refreshing, light orange-grapefruit flavor, White Lightning is formulated with non-carbonated water that does not cause stomach discomfort; 6% carbohydrates which research has shown to be the optimal level in promoting absorption and providing energy to working muscles; electrolytes for rapid rehydration and minerals to help prevent cramps.

Atayde added, "You don't have to be a pro athlete to benefit from proper hydration. For as long as you move and you sweat, your body needs to be properly hydrated so you continue to work towards achieving your full potential. We're confident that our new variant and our new ambassadors will help us reinforce that message."

R-E-S-P-E-C-T

Ngayon lang to. Pagbigyan na. 

Recently, na-legalize na ang same-sex unions in the United States. YEHEY! Celebrate ang mga bakla. Sa US, wiz sa Pinas. Aminin na natin, kahit anong baligtad sa Earth ang gawin natin, hindi accepted ang ganyan sa Pinas. Tolerated, yes, but tolerance is very different from being accepted. Truth is, at the back of my mind, legalization of same-sex unions in the United States is politically driven. Well, karamihan naman nyan, ganyans, sad truth. So same-sex unions are still too far from being accepted by most people. But recently, more and more people are starting to accept us. They are defending us from people who, as they say, are "close-minded" cos hindi nila matanggap na legalization of same-sex unions will not harm them in any way. Ang point nila, corrupted na daw ang morality ng future generations, next na daw ang legalization ng incestuous relationships at human-animal marriage, etc. Point taken. 

But, it doesn't end there. The pro-LGBT will respond, syemps sasagot yung isa. Never-ending na. May point naman both sides. But the thing is, once a person's mind is made up on a certain issue, you won't be able to persuade him into your side, lalo na when it involves religion or morality. Wouldn't it be better if we just let them be? Cos, in the end, we will all resort to name calling, and ridiculing each other. We will say na they are all bigots and all that, pero in the process, aren't we becoming bigots as well? Aren't we discriminating the people against same-sex unions in the process na din? 

Respect begets respect, that's what I always say. Well, most of the time. I may be a bitch, most of the time, but only to people who deserve it. Charot! I am not saying na ang linis ko, napakadalisay, my point is, maybe we should start respecting each other and then, maybe one day, acceptance. 

A day or two after the US proclamation of the legalization of same-sex unions, na-sight ko yung photos sa Brazil gay pride. Naloka ako, tumambling ako ng bonggang bongga na may kandirit pa at pati yung straight kong hair eh kumulot pa. 

Photos courtesy of Google.

Naloka ako dahil ang slogan nila ay "I was born this way, I grew up so I will always be like this: respect me." There's that word again, respect. I was born and raised a Catholic. Well, no longer practicing, but still. I support freedom of expression, hanash ka lang beks, go mo lang. Chika mo lahat ng bet mo, as long as wiz ka nakakaoffend. Yung bida sa Roman Catholic Church pa yung ginawan ng ganyan. I hate to say this pero, at times, we give them the license to disrespect us as well, or worse, hate us. 

Personally, yes, of course I am pro same-sex union. UNION ha, not MARRIAGE. When you say marriage kasi, you can't help but associate it with religion. Cos for me, I am only after the legalities of the relationship. And don't worry, dahil hindi ko din pipilit na magpakasal sa Church. As long as recognized lang ng government yung benefits, like tax exemption (ASA? CHAROT!), separation of assets (just in case, yknerrrr), and other shit, check na ako dun. That is my idea of EQUALITY. Kung itakwil ako ng Catholic Church (feeling importante. BIG TIME!), fine. Choice nila yun, I respect their decision. Simple lang di ba? RESPECT. If other people still look down on you cos you're gay and maoffend ka, say your piece, but don't force yourself on them. Sayang lang effort, dahil wiz mo na mababago pag iisip nila, instead, learn from it. Be a better person by showing them that you are still worthy of their respect inspite of what they did. 

OKAY.... tama na. Back to regular programming na. CHOS! Pero alam nyo naman kasi, si Beks, pro world peace kaya may ganitong paandar. Yun lang.
