Yamaha Motor Philippines shares in the jubilation of a nation fervent about basketball as Gilas Pilipinas triumphantly secured the gold medal at the 19th Asian Games. It marked the Philippines’ return to the pinnacle of Asian basketball for the first time since 1962. As the official lifestyle motorcycle of Gilas Pilipinas, this celebration had been meticulously planned well before their campaign in the FIBA World Cup. However, considering the immense importance of both tournaments, it was decided that the partnership celebration would take place post-games. The delay was undoubtedly worthwhile.
This event transcended being a mere formality; it underscored Yamaha’s ‘Play your Tough’ Campaign, centered on surmounting obstacles, regardless of their magnitude. Acknowledging the monumental challenges confronting Gilas Pilipinas as hosts of the FIBA World Cup and their swift transition to the Asian Games, Yamaha recognized that this team embodied the very spirit they championed. Consequently, Yamaha had been staunch supporters of the team since the FIBA qualifying rounds. They crisscrossed the nation to connect with more people and inspire them to embrace the ‘Play your Tough’ mindset, even enlisting former Gilas Pilipinas players to underscore their message.
The Park Inn by Radisson served as the venue for this celebration, where Yamaha warmly welcomed the champions for an intimate program, live-streamed on their official Facebook Page. The guest list included basketball stars CJ Perez, Calvin Oftana, Chris Newsome, and Assistant Coach Richard Del Rosario.
In a testament to their enduring relationship, Gilas Pilipinas presented Yamaha Motor Philippines with special memorabilia—a framed jersey adorned with signatures from the gold medal-winning roster.
After concluding the year on a resounding note with their triumph at the Asian Games, it is clear that Gilas Pilipinas and their official lifestyle motorcycle partner, Yamaha Motor Philippines, have more in store. Stay updated by following Yamaha on their social media platforms:
