Summit Natural Drinking Water showcases, once again, its unwavering commitment to supporting Filipino athletes thrive, this time in their bid to bring honor to the country in the 31st Hanoi Southeast Asian Games this May 12 to 23.
As the official bottled water partner of the Philippine Olympic Committee, Summit is one with our athletes in their journey to aspire, perspire, and inspire fellow Filipinos.
The Philippines’ first Olympic gold medalist Hidilyn Diaz, Asian pole vault record-holder EJ Obiena, and now, Filipinas, the Philippine National Women’s Football Team are all set to have their hydration levels covered by Summit with the right minerals, allowing them to remain focused on their goals and deliver at peak performance.
Even before Hidilyn and EJ entered the pantheon of Filipino sports icons, Summit has been there to support their respective journeys.
Hidilyn’s Journey to the Summit
Diaz has been making a name for herself since 2008, when she was selected as a wildcard entry for the Beijing Games, becoming the first-ever Filipina to compete in weightlifting.
It was in 2016 when Diaz ended the country’s 20-year Olympic medal drought by bagging silver at the women’s 53-kg category in weightlifting.
Summit was honored to have witnessed that feat at the Rio Olympics.
To show their love and support for Diaz, Summit officially made her one of their ambassadors in the year 2018.
The goal is not only for Diaz to promote the brand but also to back her up in terms of training and hydration as Summit believes in her persistence, motivation, and capacity in achieving a Gold.
True enough, in 2019, Diaz won her first SEA Games Gold medal after topping the 55-kg division. With a committed sponsor by her side, Diaz powered through challenges en route to her historic win in the Tokyo Games that ended the country’s 93-year hunt for an Olympic gold medal.
With back-to-back milestones from various competitions, she proved that she has always had a #ThirstforGold.
To commemorate Diaz’s success story, Summit Natural Drinking Water is launching Summit Labels featuring Diaz in 350ml, 500ml, and 1L formats and Sports Bottles in 500ml format, which you can now get in leading stores nationwide.
