Team O strikes in Bulacan
MANILA, Philippines - Students of Marcelo H. Del Pilar High School in Malolos, Bulacan were treated to a delicious new kind of downpour. Last July 20, the school administrators gathered the students at the Bulacan Sports Complex supposedly “in preparation for intramurals.” There was anticipation in the air as the students were told that a celebrity guest would be arriving, but they had no idea who. At 2:20 p.m., the students were surprised as a helicopter thundered over the sports grounds, and circled above them.
As the chopper hovered over the gathering crowd, what happened next took everyone by surprise and caused them to cheer even louder. The helicopter began to shower the students with Oishi O, Wow! surprise packs from 200-feet. The students excitedly grabbed what they could like there was no tomorrow, as the deafening sound and strong gusts of wind from the chopper beat upon the sports grounds.
From Potato Fries, to Marty’s Vegetarian Chicharon, to Bread Pan; from Gourmet Picks to Baked Porky Popps, to Oishi Prawn Crackers, they didn’t know what they got until they open the Oishi O, Wow! Surprise Packs!
After circling the grounds five times, dropping thousands of snacks on its extraordinary mission, the helicopter finally came in for a landing. As it touched down amid the thousands of onlookers, the celebrity guests finally revealed themselves as Elmo Magalona and fellow Team O member Tim Yap emerged from the chopper. The crowd went crazy, with many shouting “I love you!” while others snapped pictures of the famous pair. The festivities had only just begun!
Team O warmed up the crowd with a snack-eating contest. Yap then invited students to take turns showing off their dancing skills, and the crowd’s favorites got to stay on with Elmo Magalona as he performed a dance number to the tune of Teach Me How to Douggie. Then Team O tested the crowd’s familiarity with Oishi products in an Oishi-themed guessing game. After a game of “The Longest O,” the program ended with Elmo and a lucky female student singing a duet of Call Me Maybe.
The chopper shower was the first of its kind in the Philippines and is the first of Oishi and Team O’s big surprises. Team O is a unique group of individuals from different parts of the media and entertainment industry consisting of Oishi brand ambassador Elmo Magalona, Tim Yap, Smart C+ endorser Slater Young, Rock Ed’s Gang Badoy, and Ramon Bautista. A mystery girl is set to join the team at a later date, though Oishi is keeping her as a surprise for now. Team O emphasizes the Oishi catchphrase “O,Wow!” by creating everyday surprises for various audiences.
