As the Worldwide Olympic Partner and the Official Ice Cream of the Philippine Olympic Team, Aice
underscores its commitment to supporting athletes and promoting a ‘healthy and quality’ lifestyle
by highlighting the inspiring stories of Filipino olympians Carlos Yulo, Elreen Ando and, Nesthy
Petecio. Their stories will be featured in a video series that will be streamed via the official Aice
Philippines Facebook page.
Aice firmly believes that the remarkable energy and perseverance of Filipino athletes as shown in
the videos will serve as a profound source of inspiration for the youth throughout the country.
In his video, Yulo imparts some encouraging words to aspirants, “Ang maipapayo ko lang sa mga
kabataang katulad kong atleta o estudyante, ay maging mas enthusiastic kayo sa mga bagay na
gusto ninyong gawin. ‘Wag kayo mawalan ng pag-asa, ituloy ninyo lang kung ano ‘yung ginagawa
ninyo at siyempre, ‘wag kalimutang magpasalamat sa itaas at mag-enjoy.”
[“The only advice I can give for today’s youth, especially athletes and students, is to be more
enthusiastic in the things you are passionate about. Don’t give up, just keep going, and don’t forget
to thank God and enjoy the journey.”]

Elreen Ando also recounted her humble beginnings, “I started weightlifting at 13 years old. From
dating batang walang kinabukasan na na-discover lang ng isang coach na naghahanap ng atleta,
after one year, napasok po ako sa national team. Doon na po nag-start ang naging journey ko. Ito na
po ako ngayon, isang atleta na nag-qualify sa Paris Olympics.”
[“I started weightlifting at 13 years old. From a kid that didn’t have a future to being discovered by a
coach, after a year, I made it to the national team. That is when my journey began. And now, I am an
athlete who is qualified to compete at the Paris Olympics.”]

“Pinaka-memorable na journey sa career ko ‘yung first laban ko na lalaki ‘yung kalaban ko ang sa
inter-barangay na laro ‘yun. And ito na ako ngayon, maglalaro na sa pangalawa kong Olympics sa
Paris,” Nesthy Petecio proudly shares.
[“The most memorable part of my career’s journey was my very first competition, I was up against a
man, it was an inter-barangay competition. Now, here I am competing at my second Olympics in
Paris.”]

Like these Filipino athletes who work hard in the Olympics, Aice is committed to continually
enhancing the quality of their products in pursuit of global success. Its dedication to innovation and
excellence embodies the same spirit of perseverance and ambition that drives our athletes forward.
As we celebrate the achievements of these remarkable individuals, Aice is honored to reflect their
values in its designation as the Worldwide Olympic Partner and the Official Ice Cream of the
Philippine Olympic Team. Upholding its ‘healthy and quality’ philosophy, Aice strives to consistently
offer delicious, innovative, and affordable ice cream products that their customers have grown to
love.
The journey of the brand, akin to that of the celebrated athletes, exemplifies the power of
determination and the relentless pursuit of dreams. Entering the market was no easy feat with such
fierce competition but like many athletes, Aice started from humble beginnings. There were
significant challenges to overcome before emerging as a leading brand in Southeast Asia.
In its early years, Aice employees navigated the streets of Southeast Asia with foam boxes filled with
ice cream and dry ice, bringing their products directly to the people. Without a factory nor a market,
the team repurposed an underground garage into a makeshift office, sleeping on meeting room
tables and working from dining tables. Through persistent dedication and hard work, Aice gradually
opened markets, eventually reaching extraordinary industry milestones.
To date in the Philippines, Aice has launched over 30 ice cream flavors, including some crowd
favorites like Chocolate Crispy, Mochi Ice Cream, Coffee Macchiato, and Sweet Corn. With coverage
extending to more than 100,000 sari-sari store outlets nationwide, this remarkable growth is a
testament to the impact of unyielding commitment and perseverance.
Aice invites their patrons to watch these inspiring stories to witness the dedication that drives these
athletes to the pinnacle of their sport and see how Aice is honored to be a part of their journey.
