Summer is not complete without playing the country’s national pastime – basketball.

Good thing MILO Philippines is very creative, making the summer of Filipino kids worth the wait with its innovative grassroots sports program – the MILO Barangay Liga. 

As sports activities slowly reopen on-ground from the pandemic, MILO launched its summer leagues anew with hundreds of kids from various barangays in the country showcasing their skills on the court, accompanied with enthusiasm of the crowd.  

 “It is with excitement that we welcome our Champion kids from the couch to court again, and see them playing on a team setting.  At the MILO Barangay Liga, we see teamwork, discipline and respect in action,” said MILO sports executive Carlo Sampan.

 “Aligned with the brand’s purpose of nourishing kids’ journey to success with nutritious energy and inspiration to grow with sports, the MILO Barangay Liga served as a platform for kids to develop their skills, build confidence, and become a role model to their peers.  More than that, we see a lot of potential talents that we can hone and build as champions in and outside the court,” he added.

 Parents were also in full support of their kids as these kinds of activities provide their children the physical and social interactions they need.

MILO Barangay Liga is well-supported by local government units, as it is aligned with their development programs for the youth.  

 MILO Philippines and DepEd have proven to parents across the country that there are opportunities to adapt and continue their child’s Champion journey at home.

As schools and sports venues start to open up again, MILO Philippines is excited to welcome back kids to continue their Champion journeys in the upcoming MILO® Summer Sports Clinics.
