A little over two months after winning in the locally-held 7-Eleven 2022 Run Series, the race’s top overall winners got to test their mettle in the international running arena.
Sixteen Filipino elite runners with various backgrounds and age categories were brought by 7-Eleven Philippines to Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam to compete in the full and half-marathon categories of the 5th Techcombank Ho Cho Minh City International Marathon. This international race participation is part of the runners’ prize for finishing within the top three overall spots of the recently-held 7-Eleven Run Series 2022.
The Ho Chi Minh race, which holds claims to be Vietnam’s biggest international marathon event, was held last Sunday, December 11, 2022, with a total of 11,114 participants coming from 64 countries. All sixteen runners proved that the long lay-off from running races, both local and international, is not a deterrent to winning as the team practically ruled the event’s long-distance race categories.
Team 7-Eleven Philippines showed dominance in the full marathon category with Iligan’s Pride, Bryan Quiamco ruling Male Division by clinching the top spot overall, finishing the race with a time of 02:38:28. Cagayan de Oro’s Jerald Zabala, finished 2nd overall with a time of 02:41:04. Completing the team’s male participants to the 42km is Florendo Lapiz from Cebu, who finished 4th overall with a time of 02:44:52, 12 seconds shy of the Vietnamese 3rd overall finisher.
For the Female Division, newly-married Judelyn Miranda-Fann finished as the second-fastest female overall with a time of 03:13:04, her new Personal Best time record. The team also took the top 3 overall spot at the podium with Maricar Camacho’s finish time of 03:13:33. April Rose Diaz, on the other hand, showed what “small but terrible” is like by finishing as top 5 overall finishing at 03:23:46.
Meanwhile, first-timers in the international racing scene, Rosalyn Tadlas (Bukidnon) and Stephanie Cadosale (Negros), also had their moment at the podium as the 1st and 2nd top female for the 18-29 age group.
The team also ruled the top honors of the half marathon category. Philippine National Team athlete and 2021 SEA Games participant Richard Salaño from Bulacan, became the Male Division’s Champion with a finish time of 01:10:38, a good seven minutes away from second-placer Prince Joey Lee (Cebu) who finished at 1:17:12.
Completing the top 5 spots at the podium are fellow Team 7-Eleven Philippines runners, Jerome Casinillo, (01:17:44), Roy Laudit (01:19:35), and Arlan Arbois (01:20:22) who finished 3rd, 4th, and 5th, respectively. Incidentally, Jerome Casinillo, UP Diliman Isko Roy Laudit, and Arlan Arbois made their debut as part of Team 7-Eleven Philippines in this event. It is also worth noting that Laudit finished first and Arbois second in the Male 18-29 age group.
Equally remarkable was our Filipina athletes’ half-marathon performance as they grabbed top honors in the Female Division. Christine Hallasgo, Philippine National Team athlete and 2021 SEA Games silver medalist established a new personal best time of 01:21:05, bringing her to the top of the podium as the overall female champion. Nhea Ann Barcena finished second with her finish time of 01:27:53. Last but not least, San Juan’s Jocelyn Elijeran finished as the top female in the 40-49 age group.
“Our runner’s impressive performance at the 5th Techcombank Ho Chi Minh International Marathon was a welcome surprise. They were originally slated to compete in Thailand’s race event last November but it was not meant to be. The last-minute shift to the Vietnam race made us lower our expectations considering the race participants’ history showed a deep and very competitive field. The team almost swept the awards in this race and I am very proud of them. The runners are happy to have a good Christmas ahead of them, with 7-Eleven Philippines supporting them with an incentive and assistance in claiming their cash prize from the organizers.”, shared 7-Eleven Philippines General Merchandise Division Head and Managing Director for Digital, Mr. Jose C.

PRESS RELEASE
Toby’s Sports, the leading sports retailer in the Philippines, recently hosted the first Toby’s Sports Arnold’s Army Open Workout at the Bonifacio High Street Amphitheatre, wherein fitness icon Arnold Aninion shared different group exercises and held a live free workout for a select few.
At the event, Andrea Tan, Toby’s Sports Head of Marketing and Communications, affirmed that Toby’s Sports has always advocated a healthy and active lifestyle among millions of Filipino consumers. Noting that more people have become increasingly health conscious, Tan disclosed that Toby’s Sports aims to connect with them—and other fitness enthusiasts—by holding complimentary trendy workout sessions.
The first to lead Toby Sports’ workout activities was Aninion, an eminent fitness coach who trains celebrity clients such as Anne Curtis, Isabelle Daza, Solenn Heussaff, and Georgina Wilson, among others. He is also credited for social arbiter Raymond Gutierrez’s dramatic transformation.

“The enthusiastic response we received from the public and industry influencers was overwhelming,” said a highly pleased Tan, who revealed that Toby Sports was just looking to holding a walk-in event. “But after posting about it online,” Tan said, “it generated so much interest that we had to do pre-registration a couple days before the open workout. The event likewise drew attention from local celebrities like Michael de Mesa and Eric ‘Eruption’ Tai, among others.”
Tan averred that being trained by Arnold Aninion, or becoming part of #ArnoldsArmy for a day at least, is a distinct privilege. “We hope that our participants will walk away with some workout tips from Arnold, himself—those that they can do at home or in the gym, even without a trainer,” she announced at the onset of the event.
True enough, the workout participants had an intimate exercise session with the popular trainer, who appeared thoroughly engaged as he encouraged them to work out beyond their perceived limitations.
Tan happily noted that the event’s success was due to the fact that people are more stimulated when exercising with a group—and using a variety of workout styles—because of the social atmosphere and community vibe. “With group exercise,” Tan pointed out, “you are likely to work out harder than you would if you were on your own.”
Apart from the workouts, information on fitness recovery strategies was likewise underscored. “That is something you should know when you kick-start your fitness journey,” Tan related as she acknowledged that people exercise for a variety of reasons: to lose weight, to lead a generally healthier lifestyle, to manage stress, and much more.
“Whatever their fitness motivation is, or whatever stage in their fitness journey they’re in,” Tan stated, “we want them to know that Toby Sports, as the leader in sports and fitness, will always have their backs.”
To be sure, Arnold’s Army Open Workout was just the beginning. “This wonderful workout experience merely set them on the path to a consistently active lifestyle and improved their overall health,” Tan said.
For his part, Arnold Aninion, who has acquired iconic status for his revolutionary and life-changing workouts, assured his students that they will get closer to their workout goals “when they train with me.”
