Students were able to apply what they learned during the second half of the course through a slalom activity on the track. The lessons concluded with a ‘follow the leader’ activity where students drove around the track behind a pace car.

More than 30 individuals participated in the classes, from sim racers looking to transition to actual racing to racing fans who wanted to experience the thrill for themselves. TMP Vice President for Marketing Services Elvin Luciano shared, “For aspiring racers, the TGRA is a gateway to achieving their dreams. Our mission with the TGRA is to provide a starting point for anyone who wants to try their hand at racing. We’re thrilled to know some even go on to pursue professional careers in the sport after graduating from the TGRA.”

Since its launch in 2014, the TGRA has produced skilled racers who have gone on to participate in various local racing events including TMP’s own racing series, the TGR Vios Cup. The TOYOTA GAZOO Racing Academy is brought to you by Petron and GT Radial and in cooperation with Seiko.

foodpanda’s grocery delivery arm pandamart has teamed up with the Coca-Cola Philippines to offer free refreshments to freelance delivery partners. This special initiative is designed to coincide with the observance of Father’s Day season, providing a refreshing treat to Ka-PanDADs who tirelessly ensure that food and grocery orders reach customers on time. Every Ka-Panda delivery partner with active pandamart orders will receive free bottled drinks. The ‘Ka-Panda Father’s Day Treat’, which began last June 16, 2024, aims to help Ka-Panda delivery partners stay hydrated and energized as they go about their daily routes.

The first leg kicked off at the pandamart warehouse in Pasig. Delivery partners expressed their gratitude as they received free drinks, sharing stories of how this simple treat makes a big difference in their delivery routines. “Talagang doble kayod kami para sa pamilya, kaya nakakatuwang may libreng drinks din kami para ma-refresh naman sa bawat biyahe. Nakakataba ng puso na naaalala rin pala yung hirap naming mga delivery partners sa daan," shared Ferdinand Cruz, a Ka-Panda for four years now. foodpanda Philippines Head of Category and Commercial Samantha Sy shared that Ka-Panda delivery partners from their service provider Delivery Hero Logistics Philippines deserve this small token of appreciation for their hard work, saying, “This treat is not only for fathers but also those who serve as breadwinners of their family, working incredibly hard to provide for their needs. This is our way of saying thank you for their dedication and perseverance. We’re also grateful to our reliable partner, Coca-Cola Philippines, for offering their resources to make this happen.”

Coca-Cola also echoed these sentiments. “We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our Ka-panda delivery partners for their relentless dedication and hard work. We hope that by offering these complimentary refreshments, we can make their day a bit easier and show our appreciation for the convenience they bring into our lives,” said a representative from Coca-Cola Philippines. foodpanda and Coca-Cola’s partnership emphasizes their commitment to the well-being of delivery partners, ensuring they feel appreciated for their important role in delivering food and groceries to customers. The initiative is expected to benefit hundreds of delivery partners. The initiative will also roll out to other pandamart warehouses across Metro Manila, ensuring more delivery partners can benefit from this refreshing treat.

PFL Forges Partnership With LEORON For PFL MENA

The Professional Fighters League (PFL), the fastest-growing and most innovative sports league in the world, has recently forged a multi-year agreement with LEORON, a leading corporate training and EdTech company in Europe, Middle East and Africa, as the official learning and development partner of PFL MENA (Middle East and North Africa). With this partnership, LEORON aims to bridge the gap between the intense discipline of the PFL MENA fighters and the equally important pursuit of knowledge and career advancement. LEORON will also use its training expertise to create well-rounded athletes within the PFL MENA community by providing custom programs, from leadership training to specialized skill development, to fit the unique needs of PFL fighters. Together, the PFL and LEORON aim to build a future where athletes win in life beyond competition.

“This partnership with LEORON is a game-changer. Fighters train hard physically, but the mental aspect and life outside of the PFL SmartCage can often be neglected. Access to LEORON expertise in leadership and personalized training programs will set them up for success outside of sport," said PFL MENA General Manager Jerome Mazet. “We’re excited to join forces with PFL MENA. This partnership is about more than just supporting a sport; it’s about inspiring individuals to ‘Fight For Their Future’ by embracing new skills and opportunities. We want to empower people to train their minds and nurture their careers with the same intensity as the athletes in MMA," said LEORON CEO Arben Jusufi. PFL MENA is a four-event season featuring the region’s top fighters and a groundbreaking initiative with SURJ Sports Investments (SURJ). LEORON offers comprehensive learning and development solutions across various functions through instructor-led sessions, in-company training, and custom eLearning, equipping over 30,000 professionals with up-to-date skills and helping clients boost competitiveness.

PFL is the only organization in MMA with a sports-season format where individual fighters compete in a Regular Season, Playoffs, and Championship each year. The combined roster of PFL and Bellator boasts 30% of its fighters independently world-ranked in the top 25 of their respective weight class, the same percentage as the UFC. PFL has an expansive global vision for the sport and is building the “Champions League of MMA” with PFL Europe, PFL MENA, and more international leagues in development. PFL leads in technology and innovation with its proprietary PFL SmartCage, powering fight analytics, real-time betting, AI scoring, and a next-generation viewing experience. PFL is primetime on ESPN/ESPN+ in the U.S. and is broadcast and streamed in 150 countries with 20 premium media distribution partners including Setanta Sports in Eurasia and the Philippines.
