(Makati City, February 22, 2025)… Did you know that NFL star Camryn Bynum of the Minnesota Vikings spends the NFL off-season in the Philippines? Bynum is Filipino through his mother, Jen, a third generation Filipino-American. He and his family established the nonprofit Bynum Faith Foundation to provide aid and holistic relief to underprivileged communities in the United States and the Philippines through food distribution, helping rebuild homes of disaster victims, providing tools for livelihood and education, and inspiring youth in athletic activities. Bynum goes to the Philippines to personally oversee these projects.

And did you know that Flag football is part of the sports program of the LA 2028 Summer Olympics (LA28)? The Olympic website describes Flag football as a non-tackling version of American football in a five-on-five format. Players wear belts with flags on them, and minimal equipment. Instead of tackling a player to stop a play, defenders try to grab one of their flags. The game’s emphasis is on speed. Flag football is played by an estimated 20 million people in 100 countries— including the Philippines.

When Bynum discovered that the Philippines had its own small Flag football community, and a national sports association–Flag Football Philippines–affiliated with the Philippine Olympic Committee, and players who loved the sport as much as he did, he was inspired to use his platform and resources to help elevate and grow awareness for Flag football in the country. And Camp Beezy was born.

Now going on its 4^th edition, Camp Beezy is a series of Flag football training campswhere players of all experience levels can learn how to play the game the right way. Bynum brings in professional coaches and trainers, and sometimes his fellow NFL players (the Kansas City Chiefs’ Nikko Remigio, the Chicago Bears’ Elijah Hicks, and the New England Patriots’ Jaylinn Hawkinshave all volunteered for Camp Beezy’s previous editions) to work with the participants. The camp gives participants an opportunity to learn tips and skills from professionals, and apply what they learned in a friendly tournament.

While Flag football arguably doesn’t have a huge following in the Philippines, itsinclusion in LA28 could be a turning point. Bynum believes that, and in a 2024 interview with The Game he said, “I think there’s so much good talent out here, especially among Filipinos. We love basketball, and that’s a really athletic sport, you have to be fast, you have to be quick, so the fact that they’re getting into flag football now, it’s just a matter of experience and people actually playing the game.”

It’s a sentiment echoed by RIESA Management, Inc.’s COO, Anthony Raymond, himself an avid Flag football player. RIESA has partnered with the Bynum Faith Foundation to help expand Flag football’s reach in the Philippines. “We were intrigued by the idea of promoting an up and coming international sport. We believe that Flag football is a sport that Filipinos can excel in. This is relatively a new sport to the country that we believe can grow and expand in a few years. The Philippines has put so much into professional sports such as basketball but we have yet to qualify for the Olympics. Maybe it’s time for us to groom Filipino athletes that suit our best physical attributes–speed, agility and quickness,” Raymond explained. And with companies already interested in a possible Philippine team for LA28, RIESA’s support for Flag football would jumpstart things for the sport.

RIESA is a locally-grown service hospitality company that manages and developsindividually distinct lifestyle boutique hotels and restaurants. Some of its brands are Hotel Dumaguete, Cala Laiya, La Mensa Dumaguete, and Buglas Isla Cafe (whose popularity and success in Dumaguete prompted the company to open branches in Arcovia, Pasig; Alabang, Westgate, and Batangas).

Bynum is now even more motivated to share and grow the game that he loves— and has given him the life that he has in the Philippines. Camp Beezy Vol. 4 takes place in Vermosa from February 20-22. This time, it will bring in 75 players with the best potential from around the Philippines and Asia to experience “a day in the life of an NFL player.” There will be coaching, training and drills, physical therapy and strategy sessions, and playing, of course. Lots of playing. The goal is for professionals to evaluate the participants with an eye towards forming a national training pool for the Olympic Games Los Angeles 2028. 

Anthony Raymond is excited. RIESA is hosting a lunch for Bynum and his team at Buglas Isla Cafe in Alabang on February 23, and he hopes that RIESA’s partnership with the Bynum Faith Foundation is a sign that Flag football will finally have its day in the sun. “I am hoping one day, Flag football can be an after school sports activity offered for boys and girls in  grade schools, high school and college level,” he said.

As for Cam Bynum, he knows that Filipino athletes have the speed, smarts, and agility to excel at Flag football, so he will keep on doing what he is doing to spread his love for the game, and to help get a Philippine team to qualify for Flag football in the LA Olympics.

Sidebar: Why Filipinos can Excel in Flag Football

• Speed and Agility – Flag football isn’t about size or height. Filipinos are smaller and quicker, which is an advantage.

• Smarts – The sport requires a lot of strategy and the ability to think on your feet and sometimes improvise. Filipinos have the brains and the ability to do that.

• Hardworking – Filipinos have always worked hard to achieve their goals. Excelling at Flag football is no different. Learning and studying the game, improving skills like throwing, catching, running—can be done even without special camps or workshops.

• Space – Especially in the provinces, there’s always a park or vacant lot somewhere to throw a football around or play a quick game, and just like basketball, you only need 5 players a side.

Sidebar: Flag football 101

• It is a no-contact sport with ‘tackles’ made by removing one of three fabric ‘flags’ attached to the ball-carrier’s waist – one on each side and another at the

• There are 5 players from each team  on the field, and matches consist of two 20-minute halves.

• Play starts at the team’s own five-yard line with the centre snapping the ball back to the quarterback who either passes the ball forward to try and find a receiver, or hands off to a running back.

• The play is over when either a flag is removed (a ‘tackle’), the ball-carrier goes out of bounds, or a forward pass hits the ground.

• The team on offence has four attempts – known as downs – to go from their own five-yard line to halfway. If successful, they have another four downs to reach the endzone and score a touchdown. If unsuccessful on either count, the ball is turned over to the opposition who start on their own five-yard line.

• After a touchdown, worth six points, teams go for an extra point – by running or passing – from the five-yard line, or two extra points from the 10-yard line.

• If the scores are tied after 40 minutes, sudden-death overtime begins with the first team to score taking victory.

Gold Fortune Textile (GFT) is true to its commitment to helping develop and uplift lives in the underprivileged communities in the country, particularly in the Rizal area. In upholding this principle, GFT  conducted a medical and dental mission last December 7, 2024, at the San Francisco Covered Court, Brgy. Muzon, Taytay, Rizal, from 8 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

This photo features the barangay officials, including Punong Barangay Aniel ‘Bugloy’ Cruz and the Barangay Kagawad of Pamahalaang Barangay Muzon, Taytay, Rizal (on the left side), along with representatives from the Taytay Municipal LGU, including Konsehal Joan Calderon and Konsehal Diño Tak Faeldon (on the right side), as well as other councilors who attended the medical mission. The presence of Mayor Allan De Leon of Taytay was also highlighted by the mascot.

The charity event was spearheaded by GFT CEO Enrico Sy, in partnership with the local government unit of Taytay, Rizal led by Mayor Allan de Leon, Dr. Mary Elinore F. Borja-Sta. Ana, and some volunteer medical doctors and dentists. Residents of Barangay Muzon, especially the children and elderly, were the main focus of this endeavor, solely committed to providing top-quality medical and dental care to people having limited access to basic healthcare.

At the RBS (Random Blood Sugar) booth, healthcare professionals are conducting blood sugar tests to help monitor and manage the community’s health during the medical mission.

From morning until afternoon, the venue was packed with people for medical consultations and treatment, including ECG, RBS testing, reflexology, dental check-ups, and tooth extraction. Licensed medical practitioners who participated in this project were Dr. Gerald Medina, Dra. Jozelle Mariz Medina, Dr. Paolo Meidrick Artezuela, Dra. Rizalyn Jane Balasabas, Dr. Aldwin Aguinaldo, Dr. John Gerome Simeon, Dr. Lia Angela Esguerra Reyes, Dr. Ralph Suarez.

For oral care, on the other hand, six dentists extended their helping hands to this worthy cause. They were Dra. Mary Grace Aguila, Dra. Frances Sta. Ana, Dr. Rommel Gatapia, Dra. Adina Lopez-Abogado, Dra. Corazon Amasigla and Dra. Nilda Santiago.

This photo shows the appearance of Mayor Allan De Leon. On the left side is Ms. Lualhati Fausto, CEO of Lakbay Magazine, and in the middle is Mr. Enrico Sy, CEO of Gold Fortune Textile and Chairman of Lakbay Magazine. Also present are the Vice Chairman and Chairman of Gold Fortune Textile, as well as Konsehal JV Cabitac of the Taytay Municipal Council on the other side

The medical and dental mission is an annual charity event of GFT since December 2022. Enrico, together with his parents, chairman Eduardo Sy and vice chairman Helen Sy, have taken the initiative to improve the quality of life in the community where their company is situated, especially the children and the elderly people who may feel helpless due to their medical conditions. GFT’s programs and training initiatives aim to empower these individuals to start small businesses, fostering self-reliance.

True to its tagline, “We Help, We Can,” GFT has not only provided free medical and dental check-ups but also made it possible this year to offer to residents of Barangay Muzon free haircut, pneumococcal and flu vaccines.

In line with this charitable act, Gold Textile Fortune will soon be launching the GFT Foundation in its aim to help certain causes such as caring for elderly people as well as homeless children. Those who wish to become volunteer personnel or send donations whether cash or goods, will be greatly appreciated.

Belmont Hotel Manila proudly supports the Global Handwashing Partnership’s advocacy, which is dedicated to mobilizing communities worldwide to enhance handwashing practices. Global Handwashing Day serves as an important reminder of the vital role proper hand hygiene plays in preventing the spread of diseases, not only within the foodservice industry but also in combating emerging public health threats.

In collaboration with Project Pearls, a non-profit organization focused on community service and scholarships, Belmont Hotel Manila aims to raise awareness about hand hygiene across various communities, including Tondo, Bulacan, and Naic, Cavite. The hotel provides essential hand hygiene supplies, such as soap and sanitizer, empowering individuals with the knowledge and tools necessary to maintain clean hands and reduce the incidence of illness.

To further promote hand cleanliness, the hotel has installed plumbing-free handwashing stations called “tippy taps” in Tondo. This practical design encourages effective handwashing without requiring plumbing infrastructure.

Located in Sta. Mesa, Manila is Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, a hospital built in 1948 in response to the need for medical facilities after World War II. Today, Lourdes Hospital stands as a healthcare institution with approximately 400 accredited active and visiting physicians. It hosts five medical residency programs in fields like Internal Medicine, OB-Gynecology, Surgery, Pediatrics, and Radiology. 

In its 75 years, the hospital’s management has evolved from the Missionary Sisters Servants of the Holy Spirit (SSpS) to Manny V. Pangilinan’s Metro Pacific Health, and it has remained steadfast in its mission as a Christ-centered community of healthcare professionals dedicated to holistic healing.

Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital’s commitment to exceptional care is rooted in its Alagang Lourdes service culture, a philosophy built on three core promises: Alagang May Puso, Alagang Tapat, at Alagang Abot-Kaya.

Alagang may Puso (Care that is Heartful) is Lourdes Hospital’s promise to take care of its patients centered on their well-being as a whole person. Lourdes Hospital recognizes that patients are more than just their illnesses, and that their emotional and spiritual health are just as important as their physical health.

Alagang Tapat (Care that is True) is Lourdes Hospital’s promise to prioritize the needs of its patients. It is a commitment to providing the best possible care in a way that is respectful, ethical, and empowering. It emphasizes ethical and respectful treatment. Patients are involved in informed decision-making, receiving clear explanations and having their choices respected.

Alagang Abot-Kaya (Care that Affordable) is Lourdes Hospital’s promise to provide affordable and accessible healthcare to everyone. Aside from its prime location in Manila, Lourdes Hospital offers a wide range of healthcare services while maintaining prices affordable.

These three promises work together to create a unique healthcare experience at Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital.  Patients not only receive quality medical treatment, but also feel cared for as individuals, with their physical, mental, social, psychological and spiritual needs addressed in a way that respects their dignity that adds a positive impact on their healing process.

Looking towards the future, Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital remains committed to upholding its legacy. By continuously innovating its services and facilities, while staying true to its  Alagang Lourdes culture, the hospital aims to serve the community for generations to come.
