Adamson
Baby Falcons
For
the past five years, Akari has been supporting Adamson in the
University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP). Season 81
is no exception as Akari continues to soar with the Falcons.
Akari
is once again going all out to support the Adamson Falcons in their
bid for a men’s basketball championship. Since taking over the
program in 2016, coach Franz Pumaren has steered the team to two
consecutive Final Four appearances. This year, the Falcons are touted
as strong contenders in the senior men’s basketball division.
Meanwhile,
third-year American mentor Airess Padda is training the Lady Falcons
to compete at a higher level. As part of their off-season build-up,
the volleybelles are joining several leagues ahead of their UAAP
season opening in February 2019.
For
the program’s continuity, Akari has also included the high school
girls’ volleyball team under its management. Early this year, the
company held the Akari National High School Volleyball Championships
to scout promising players and bring them in to the Adamson junior
and senior volleyball programs.
After
delivering the university’s first championship in the UAAP Cheer
Dance Competition (CDC) last year, Adamson Pep Squad coach Jam
Lorenzo and his wards are training harder than ever to defend their
crown as the UAAP CDC unfolds in November.
Akari’s
unwavering support to the Adamson University for the past five years
is just one of the many initiatives under the brand’s youth
development and sports program. The company has formalized the Akari
Foundation to extend its support to the youth beyond collegiate
sports. Akari recently gathered the 2018-2019 Adamson University
scholars of the company. In an intimate dinner, Christopher Tiu,
Akari chief executive officer, reiterated the lighting and energy
company’s commitment to help enlighten the future of the Filipino
youth.
“Through
the Lim Liok Lim and Carter Tiu scholarships, we aim to give back via
tertiary scholarship grants. The immediate family members of our
employees, as well as the nearest kin of the athletes of the
company-sponsored school teams are our priority. We’re also open to
providing scholarship grants to indigent but deserving individuals,”
Tiu said.
