MANILA, Philippines - Richard Gonzales was recognized recently by private company NRG for his silver medal finish in the Singapore Southeast Asian Games.
Gonzales, an Army reserve, bagged his second SEAG silver medal in Singapore last June after winning his first in the 2005 Manila SEAG.
Gonzales, 44, has been a national team member for more than 20 years.
“At NRG (NRG Health and Wealth Corp.), we salute people like Richard. I played for the Philippine table tennis team in the past SEA Games, too,” says NRG CEO Julius Esposo. “And I know how our athletes experience less than ideal support.”
“Teams not being able to train and go to international events, because of lack of budget, is not new at all. We want to help change that in our own little way, and recognizing people like Richard is a start for us.”
“You win and you lose based on how much you put in your training... I think it’s a reflection of how you do other things in life...
“And in NRG, one of our guiding principles is wanting a better life for people. We put this in consideration when designing compensation programs and creating high quality products for our consumers,” Esposo said.
NRG is a young and progressive company inspired by the will to enable Filipinos to be gainfully productive and financially independent through its distribution of excellent quality and globally competitive products and services.
