(UPDATE) AS the Philippine Azkals prepare for the Asia 7's Championships, set from October 9 to 12 at the EV Arena Elmina in Kuala Lumpur, they were honored by one of their most steadfast supporters, Bounty and Chooks-to-Go, on Friday night at the Inoza Tower in Bonifacio Global City. The warm welcome highlighted the deep-rooted support that Bounty and Chooks-to-Go have provided to Philippine football. Leading the reception were Bounty Fresh Group Holdings Chairman of the Board and Chooks-to-Go Inc. President Tennyson Chen, his spouse and Senior Vice President Terry Chen, Chief Executive Officer Kenneth Cheng, Vice President for Corporate Marketing and Chooks-to-Go Inc. Executive Vice President for Operations Patricia Cheng-Lim and Chief Finance Officer Diane Choi. Tenny Chen commended the team for its unwavering dedication to representing the Philippines on the global stage. "You guys are doing a good job representing the Philippines. We have a company in New Zealand, and I remember when the Filipinas won against New Zealand, everyone there was very disappointed while I was elated. That's the effect football has now, and you guys started the fascination with the beautiful game with your winning ways. Please continue raising the bar of football in the Philippines. You are our team now. Continue inspiring the next generation," Tennyson Chen said. The event also featured the presence of Azkals' legends who have been instrumental in shaping Philippine football. Veterans such as Stephan Schröck, Daisuke Sato, Misagh Bahadoran, Anton del Rosario and team manager Dan Palami were in attendance. Also present were the current stars of Philippine football, the players of One Taguig FC. Kenneth Cheng expressed his admiration for the team's accomplishments and the growth of football in the country. "I remember playing football in our Physical Education classes, and I never realized how big it can be here. I'm honored to meet the team who has done so much. I wish you all the luck in the coming 7s tournament and in all your other tournaments. Mabuhay ang Azkals! Mabuhay ang Philippine Football!" Cheng said. Chooks-to-Go has long been supporting Philippine football, including past iterations of the national team, the Philippines Football League and numerous clubs. The company's unwavering commitment continues to play a significant role in the team's preparation and motivation as they head into the Asia 7's Championships, aiming to achieve new heights and inspire future generations of booters in the Philippines.
