Last November 8,
2013, super typhoon Yolanda (international name: Haiyan), said to be the
strongest storm ever recorded to make landfall, battered major areas of the
Philippines. With thousands feared dead and
more injured, and damaged infrastructure now reaching billions of pesos,
numerous countries and organizations all around the world have scrambled and
provided immediate assistance to those who were affected in the Visayas region
and nearby areas.
Among those who
have responded and made generous donations for the relief efforts are AND1 USA
($5000) and its partner advertising agency Catch New York (additional $1000). Together they have raised roughly Php 250,000
and will be donating it to the victims in the Philippines.
AND1 USA’s official Facebook account (www.facebook.com/and1basketball) has also posted
about donation options – such as the Philippine Red Cross’ website (click HERE) - for those who wish to help.
Check out some screenshots below.
On behalf of the
Filipino nation, AND1 Philippines extends its sincerest thanks to the AND1 US
team and Catch New York for the kind gesture.
This assist (and any upcoming help
from individuals/institutions/nations for the Yolanda victims) only proves that
the core values of teamwork, unity, and brotherhood (family) are ever present
even in the most trying times.Truly the
strong linkage reflects AND1’s “No Borders, No Boundaries” tagline.

AND1 Ph's behind-the-scenes coverage during NBA Global Games Philippines 2013

Greetings, AND Juans!
Just last week (October 10, 2013), the first ever NBA Preseason Game in
the Philippines was held at the SM MOA Arena.
It featured the Houston Rockets going up against the Indiana
Pacers. Two NBA players currently signed
as AND1 brand ambassadors were in town to play, Indiana’s Lance Stephenson (aka
Born Ready) and Houston rookie Isaiah Canaan.
Prior to the actual Preaseason Game, AND1 Ph was able to secure some very exclusive invites to the NBA Welcome Reception held at the Sofitel Philippine Plaza courtesy of Relzbach
Ventures Inc (RVI), the local distributor of AND1. The cocktails were held last Wednesday (Oct
9, 2013), and guests were able to mingle with NBA legends and
personalities. Among those spotted in
attendance were Houston Rockets head coach Kevin McHale, Indiana Pacers head
coach Frank Vogel, associate head coach Nate McMillan, and Pacers team President
and member of the NBA’s 50 Greatest Players – Larry Bird.

all having a good time last October 9, 2013.
Former Boston teammates Larry Bird (Pacers President)
and Kevin McHale (Rockets head coach).

Also seen were former Portland
Trailblazer/Houston Rocket Clyde Drexler, Robert Horry, and Jalen Rose. Some local celebrities and sports
personalities were also present, headlined by PBA players Ali Peek and current
Gilas Pilipinas players Jimmy Alapag, Gabe Norwood, and Beau Belga.

the HOU-IND match at SM MOA Arena last October 10, 2013.
During actual gameday,
Lance Stephenson wore his custom AND1 Tai Chi exclusive PEs while Isaiah Canaan
rocked Tha Beast Mids in black/red. More
images on Lance’s and Isaiah’s kicks below:

As for the game itself, SM
MOA Arena was definitely buzzing with energy and basketball frenzy was at a
fever pitch. Crowd attendance was
reportedly at 12,885, and despite a lackluster start by Indiana, the game
started to become tighter between both teams by the end of the 2nd
quarter. Just a couple of possessions before
halftime, Lance Stephenson scored on a tough drive despite being fouled – thereby
giving him the chance for an (quite fittingly) AND1 opportunity. Check out the Youtube video below:
Click to play.
Relying on their high-powered offense, Houston simply outshot and outmuscled Indiana by the 2nd half. The game ended with the
Rockets coming out on top, winning handedly by 20 points (116-96) over the
Pacers.

The Rockets defeat the Pacers, 116-96 in the
first ever NBA Preseason Game in the Philippines.
