Neymar Jr’s Five Kicks off to Incredible Start with Qualifier A

Wazzup Pilipinas!

On Saturday, February 18th 2017, 6 teams squared off for in the Qualifier A matches for the Neymar Jr’s Five. The afternoon saw many exciting matches, including the semi-final contest between Kidzania and Laro, which saw the latter taking the win with a score of 4:0.

Team Captain Anton Del Rosario commented, “The qualifier today was a great time. Had to learn the game and adjust tactics as we were all new to it. Amazing that Red Bull has gotten involved in the football scene. It’s something we need more of.”

Neymar Jr’s Five is the Brazilian forward’s signature football tournament which pits five-a-side teams in head-to-head in 10-minute matches with a twist. Every time one team scores, the opposition loses a player. It’s fast, technical, and tactical.

In total, four teams have made it to the March 4’s finals, including El Retiro, Kidzania and Underground Football.

Team Leader, Kevin James Olayvar of Underground enjoyed the challenge of Neymar Jr’s Five, commenting, “This is entirely different but still has the real essence of typical football. It was intense and heart pumping! It was hard to go against another team when you’re a man down, makes you think whether you should attack or just stay in defense the entire game and wait for them to make mistakes.”

A number of teams are scheduled for Qualifier B for what’s expected to another exciting round as we get closer to the finals.

Qualifier B will happen this coming Saturday, February 25th in SPARTA Philippines, in Mandaluyong; with the finals taking place the Saturday after, March 4th, 2017. Registrations are open until Thursday, February 23rd at 5:00PM.

Sign your team up now – and who knows, you could soon be playing on Neymar Jr’s home turf. Dare to dream, and outplay them all!

They recently invited Malaysian Master Baker Edwin Tan to do a demo for bloggers on February 9, 2017 at their Glorietta 4 branch. Together with other bakers, Master Baker Edwin presented their sandwich delights using their premier beads combined with fresh ingredients via a sandwich making demonstration. This demo also involved creating dessert-like recipes using their bagels.

The four kinds of breads mentioned are of the higher quality breads more popularly used in fine cuisine that you can find at classy hotels and venues that offer premium quality breads as starters, sandwiches or slices cut into pica-pica portions. Unlike the usual soft breads that we are accustomed to, the breads like bagels, ciabattas, sourdoughs, and baguettes, are primarily available only at upper class restaurants that mostly offer fine dining options.

Bakers Maison makes these bread available for even the common people with their many branches located at different areas. The brand comes from the same company that gave us Gardenia, and they have also informed us that they also have a bakery options that caters to neighborhood popular breads that we normally could purchase from the nearby bakery just across the street or a few blocks away from our home.
