Kitchen dream teams
MANILA, Philippines - San Mig Coffee Mixers cagers James Yap, Marc Pingris, Yancy De Ocampo, and Joe Devance spent one-on-one time with some of their biggest kiddie fans – Nina Gaviola, Joachim Gaviola, Isaak Cardona and Elise De Jesus – at the San Miguel Pure Foods Culinary Center recently. Known for their hardcourt hustle, the players also showed they have the right moves in the kitchen. The kids, for their part, were all fired-up in assisting their basketball idols whip up dishes with Purefoods Star Corned Beef.
The corned beef brand from Purefoods Hormel Company, Inc. is enriched with Star Margarine, which contains five height-building nutrients. These include vitamins A, D3, B1, B6, and B12, which help kids grow tall and stand out like their favorite basketball stars James, Mark, Yancy, and Joe.
