Manila, Philippines, January 2015 – For over 50 years, leading
beverage brand MILO has been warming the hearts and tummies of children from generations
of Filipino families. With every cup brimming with energy-giving nutrients and
the classic Chocomaltee flavor that Filipinos love, MILO has become a familiar
mainstay in the breakfast table as the favorite drink in the morning for kids
and adults alike.
A cup of the
rich, chocolate malt drink evokes nostalgia and wonderful childhood memories to
those who grew up with the drink. Elena, a mother of a 10-year-old
son and 7-year-old daughter, shares how MILO would always help her gain the
energy she needed for sports and other activities since she was a child.
“My mom introduced
MILO to me. When I was younger, my mom would prepare a hot cup of MILO for me
during breakfast, or after school, before I do my homework. Drinking it would
make me feel energized and invigorated,” says Elena. “Until now, a warm cup or
a cold glass of MILO, full of its Chocomaltee flavor, makes me feel renewed,
energized, and ready for the day’s challenges.”
MILO’s distinct
Chocomaltee flavor from a combination of malted barley, milk powder, sugar and
cocoa, coupled with the goodness of ACTIGEN-E, a unique combination of vitamins
and minerals which help to optimize release of sustained energy from food, is
what makes is what makes it special. Children love the goodness of the
Chocomaltee taste from a glass of MILO that gives them the energy essential in
an active lifestyle.
“Now that I’m a
mom, I have passed on my love for MILO to my children. I prepare MILO for them
in the morning, and after school. For variety, I also come up with new ways to
include MILO in their nutritious, well-balanced meals,” says Elena. “As they grow up, I hope they can also pass on the
Chocomaltee goodness of MILO to their own children.”
