FILA's Newwest line of running shoes: Skele-toes, Swerve and Flow

Since 1911, FILA traces its roots from Biella, a province set at the foot of the Italian Alps. This small time brand, unknown to many, participates and acts on corporate social responsibility.


At the recently concluded 2012 FILA Polo Cup, project “500 for 500” was launched by FILA President Butch Albert to help Typhoon Sendong victims once again by donating 500 pesos to 500 families for every purchase of Skele-Toes.

Skele-Toes is FILA’s latest line of revolutionary active footwear that is fast raising many eyebrows and causing the curious to utter #whattheheckisthat? For us at FILA, it’s simply a shoe that changes the game.

Running as a Passion

photo source

I have been running since I was a little kid. My Dad use to take me and my sister along the railway near our home and just let us run in the wide stretch of the place. There are times that we would see who runs the fastest and would end up getting a burger meal at Jollibee :) Ever since then, Running has been my sport. I don't play ball games, I only want to run. When I was in high school, I join the track and field games in our church sports fest and would often get the second place for our church. When I was in college, I joined the track and field team of my course and would compete every year for the sports fest. I run fast that's why I am their sprinter.

Now that I am already working, though I don't have any track and field teams to join, I still continue running. I usually run after work in Ultra, it’s very near my office and I can leave my things aside the oval safely.

Next Run is for Home

My first run for the year was the Century Run wherein I was able to talk to Derek and asked him what he thinks about running. Running has always been my sport (because im afraid of the ball and i cant swim) and my release of stress. Now, it is not only a sport but also an activity even for the whole family to enjoy. People run and join races because they are now health conscious and its a really cheap exercise.

This coming March 21, 2010 - Run for Home is back!

The Ayala-Globe Run for Home 2010 is a charity fun run that aims to raise funds for the beneficiaries of Habitat for Humanity. Last year, runners and health enthusiast was able to raise more than 1M for the Habitat for Humanity. It's a chance for us to help and a rewarding way to get healthy.

Derek Ramsey on Running

It was a good chance for me to ask Derek what he thinks of Running since he endorsed the Century Tuna Run. This is what he has to say.



Thanks Derek, it was nice meeting you.

I am a SUPERBOD

I sped through the 3KM run! That's what the back dropped says. Haha!


Just this morning a lot of people joined "The Run of the Century". This event includes not only runners and fitness enthusiasts but also top celebrities like Derek Ramsey, Rian Ramos, Jon Avila, Rafael Rosel, Iza Calzado and many more.

Century Tuna, the country’s leading canned tuna brand, leads the way to health by encouraging more people to be part of this year’s biggest celebration of health and fitness. And through events like the Superbods Run, Century Tuna is bringing the concept of living healthy within easy reach of more people. Century Tuna has joined forces with the country’s top running coach, Rio de la Cruz of RunRio, to mount the most exciting running event of the year. As the first leg of the RunRio Trilogy, the Superbods Run features heart-pounding race events and fun-filled activities that are sure to inspire everyone to move towards a healthy lifestyle.

The Superbods Run is more than just a race as runners enjoyed race packs and loot bags with free Century Tuna products and other treats such as Nature Valley energy bars. Besides from the runners that enjoyed the race and freebies, UNICEF and WWF will also get donations for every label dropped , as the event's fundraising activity was supported too. Century Tuna will have a raffle-for-a-cause, where participants who present as many Century Tuna labels at the drop-off areas at registration venues and at the event itself get a chance to win big prizes.

It was indeed a whole morning of fun and healthy lifestyle!
