For 59 years, leading breakfast drink kids love
MILO® Philippines has been nourishing Filipino kids with energy-giving nutrients and the well-
loved chocomaltee taste that help them live an active lifestyle. Because with a sports-driven
active lifestyle, kids not only reap physical benefits but take lifelong learnings and skills too.
They take home new values such as perseverance, discipline, and grit which sets them up for
success in all aspects of life.
However, as the country faced pandemic-related restrictions in the past few years, the
opportunities for physical activity were also restricted or limited; leaving kids at home and glued
to their couches. As steps turned into screen time and physical activity moved online, 84% of
Filipino adolescents were shown to be insufficiently active doing less than 60 minutes of
moderate to vigorous physical activity per day.
Because MILO® believes in the power of sports and an active lifestyle, the brand challenged
Filipino kids from couch to court with the launch of MILO® Active Pilipinas, inviting kids
nationwide to live an active lifestyle whether at home or in school. All year-long, kids will have
access to MILO® sports programs that were designed to help them unlock the champion within
● MILO® Sports Clinics - Now in its 38th year, the annual MILO Sports Clinics will
continue to teach kids the basics of sports like basketball, taekwondo, swimming, and
tennis, among others while instilling discipline, confidence, and teamwork.
● MILO® Marathon - After 3 years on halt, the biggest running event in the
country is set to return this March 2023. This national event brings together
people to get back into sports and help build tomorrow’s champions.
● MILO® Champ Camp - Co-created with the Department of Education (DepEd), the
MILO Champ Camp is a nationwide school tour that teaches students the basics of
sports without disrupting their classes, since parents also play a role as we teach them
proper nutrition. This is one of the widespread efforts to help improve the physical
literacy of kids because we believe that active kids are better learners.
● MILO® Home Court - A digital portal launched in partnership with the Philippine
Olympic Committee (POC) and the Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) during the
pandemic, MILO Home Court will continue to help kids pursue sports even at home by
providing video tutorials and online sports classes.
● MILO® Barangay Liga - The much-awaited grassroots basketball tournament will
launch in March this year, inviting more than future champions from barangays
nationwide to work with their teams in showcasing their skills on the court. Participating
moms from the 2022 Barangay Liga share how it helps their kids lessen screen time to
make them more active and healthy while learning values such as discipline and social
skills.
“Now, more than ever, we see the importance of energizing kids and bringing back active
lifestyles through the variety of MILO sports programs that will be made available nationwide.
Through these opportunities, we aim to build the champions of tomorrow and instill values
learned through sports for future success in life,” said Carlo Sampan, Head of MILO Sports.
MILO® Active Pilipinas will officially launch on January 28 through a live-streamed event on the
official MILO Facebook page. Stay tuned on January 28 (Saturday) from 3-5 PM for the full
rundown of the programs.
