Reebok Philippines Has New Apparel for Empowered Women

  

When In Manila, let’s look into what makes an empowered woman.

 

To empower is ‘to equip or supply with ability.’ But empowerment to me is equal to beauty. It is strength, wisdom, determination and kindness combined. And while the media may place a high degree of importance to physical beauty, being attractive is not confined to beauty that we see. Confucius was right when he said: “Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it. “

 

WhenInManila.com recently got invited to the launch of Reebok easy tone apparel and footwear that also featured eight accomplished Filipino women who are all reaping success in their fields of endeavor. The event that was held in Trinoma mall in Quezon City. It also included a demo of the Zumba workout that successfully made the audience groove to the beat.

 

 

 

 

At the Reebok launch, selected women were featured in a fashion show – wearing some of the stylish and colorful Reebok EasyTone apparel and footwear. Before the end of the show, EasyTone brand ambassador Nikki Gil joined them onstage. Collectively, they are called The Women of Reebok.  

 

 

 

The Reebok EasyTone apparel is FINALLY here! Launched last Thursday, 15^th of September, at the Trinoma Activity Center, the EasyTone line is well on its way to making true Reebok’s commitment to make you look and feel good as you get moving.

 

Both EasyTone footwear and apparel combine function and style that’s fashionable enough for everyday wear, yet is signed to help provide toning benefits as you move.

 

To reinforce EasyTone’s message of fit and active lifestyle without compromising fashion and intelligent style, Reebok has tapped empowered Filipina women to represent the brand: Bow Valdez, Rowena Aquino, Pearl Managuelod, Kassy Pajarillo, Nikki Gil, Nina Terol-Zialcita, Betty Romero, Vicky Ras, Ana Santos, Nikka Sarthou, and Darlene Anderson.
