Naxional Scores Victory at Neymar Jr’s Five!

Wazzup Pilipinas!

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.

This past Saturday, March 04, 2017, eight teams squared off in SPARTA Philippines, in Mandaluyong, for the finals of Neymar Jr’s Five:

Laro
Underground
Strafford
Kidzania
El Retiro
Naxional
Tondo FC
Manila Tala

One of biggest surprises of the Finals was the addition of Tondo FC, who stood in following the withdrawal of qualifying team, Baggie FC. Tondo FC proved to be the sentimental favorites for those who attended February 25th’s qualifier B, making their return to the tournament a welcome surprise.

The afternoon saw a series of round robin matches that ended with Naxional taking the victory following an intense match against Tondo FC. True to the nature of Neymar Jr’s Five, the match was fast and intense, leading to a heated one-on-one draw that lasted well over two minutes.

Neymar Jr’s Five Finals:

1st Place – Naxional
2nd Place – Tondo FC
3rd Place – Manila Tala

Also included in Neymar Jr’s Five’s finals were the FutKal Freestyle Football Championship; a freestyle exhibition that took place between matches. Eight participants squared off, showcasing their unique skill in handling a football.

Futkal Freestyle Competition:

1st Place – Dennis Lucito
2nd Place – Dennis Balbin
3rd Place – Ival de Castro

Winning team, Naxional, is comprised of Miguel Artillera, Roberto Orlandez, Ahmed Hwedi, and former ULF Stallion members, Hector Zaghi, Mark Daniel Rivera and Team Captain, Daniel Matsunaga. The team is supported by the Latin American bistro of the same name, which Matsunaga is part-owner of.

“We are very excited!” the team shares. “It proves that us Filipinos can play internationally. It’s a good experience for us. Neymar is a world class player and we want to learn. He is an inspiration for us!”

Naxional will compete at Neymar Jr’s Five global finals in Brazil later this year.

Australian Nursing Expo Opens Doors for Pinoy Nurses

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Over 200 nurses explored possibilities of nursing careers abroad as they joined the Australia Nursing Career Expo (ANCE) at Radisson Blu Hotel yesterday.

Organized by Enhance Visa to educate local nurses on how to pursue successful careers in the Australian healthcare industry, the expo was open to fresh graduates and registered nurses alike.

Nurses got to hear directly from Vikram Sharma, an Australian Registered Migration Agent, on how to qualify for employment and permanent residency in Australia through international education. Sharma also shared about the different skilled work professions in the healthcare industry that are currently in high demand in Australia.

“One of Australia’s problems in recent years is that it is losing most of its professionals to retirement and we need more healthcare workers to meet the demands of an aging population,” says Sharma.

There has been an increasing demand for personal care workers and other aged healthcare professionals which considered skilled work professions in Australia.

According to the Federal Employment Department, healthcare and social assistance jobs are projected to increase by almost 800,000 by the year 2025.
