Kids and kids-at-heart will be happy to know that Nestlé Philippines has officially opened the MILO Stadium, its state-of-the-art, kid-sized sports arena located inside KidZania Manila. Designed for children aged 7-14, the MILO Stadium will get young ones started on the path to an active and healthy lifestyle through physical activity and proper nutrition.
Founded in 1997 and headquartered in Mexico, the presence of KidZania in Manila provides an ultimate role-playing environment for Filipino children because it allows them to live out their big dreams in a fun, learning experience. Inside the MILO Stadium, kids can get to play the athlete, and can try their hand at basketball, football, volleyball or cheerleading. Each sport has a series of drills that will train kids and take them through a live game simulation that promotes the value of teamwork, among others.
Apart from the physical benefits of sports, the KidZania instructors, called Zupervisors, will also teach about the importance of proper nutrition to enable athletes to live an active and healthy lifestyle. Another activity of choice for the kids is the MILO Champ Moves dance, a three-minute exercise emulating sports movements and designed to energize their minds and bodies for the day ahead.
“For over 50 years, MILO has continued to build champions in sports and in life. The opening of our MILO Stadium marks another important chapter in our story as we continue to nourish kids with the winning energy to live an active and healthy lifestyle, and discover the champion in them,” remarked Jacques Reber, chairman and CEO of Nestlé Philippines.
Kidzania Manila State Governor Maricel Pangilinan Arenas shared, “We are very proud of our partnership with Nestlé in creating the MILO Stadium. By combining education with entertainment, we hope to inspire kids to learn values and lessons that will lead them to be outstanding KidZania citizens. Teamwork, discipline and hard work are just some of the values they will walk away with when they leave the MILO Stadium.”
During the opening, MILO also recognized the important role moms play in the lifestyle choices of their children as they can inspire and influence their kids to make the best choices and grow up to be good-natured, respectful, disciplined, and responsible individuals.
Being a champion is no easy feat, and raising one is equally challenging. This is why MILO has introduced its new formula with Activ-Go – designed to energize both the body and mind to help kids reach their full potential both physically and mentally.
