I’ve been wearing the brand since I was a kid and up to this day and it never failed me in my sport/outdoor activities. It is comfortable, durable yet stylish! I am looking forward for a long relationship with PUMA. This is to send my gratitude to the brand and its management for choosing me to be one of your brand ambassadors.”
PUMA Philippines and Aljur Abrenica will launch fan activations throughout the partnership around the country such as consumer and retail events, training and fitness related social media content, and product programs.

Santos, AVP – Sales and Marketing at PUMA Philippines commented: “Aljur is the perfect embodiment of PUMA Training, and will be a wonderful complement to our sports-marketing Training campaign of “What are you training for? Get there #nomatterwhat”. He may be very busy with the rigorous demands of his career as a local TV/ Movie celebrity, singer, and host; yet he still makes it a point to stay fit and train to keep that much toned body. He brings a lot of joy to the local audience because of his charisma and dedication to his craft.
