PUMA Social is a global campaign that celebrates the after-hours athlete – those unsung heroes of the night who, after work or any undertaking takes time to relax, grab a pingpong paddle, dart pin or bowling ball while a drink on the other; those who take life not too seriously.

Believing that life itself is a sport and that everyone should be its champions, PUMA unveiled its new campaign at Manila’s happening club Republiq recently. Dubbed PUMA Social, the event paid tribute to Manila’s ‘after-hours athletes’, personalities who are top scorers in table tennis, foosball, darts, asking for a girl’s number, or any other social challenge that can be played with a beer in one hand.

Last April 30, 2011, Puma Social was brought to Cebu City with after-hours games held at the Ayala Activity Center. Challengers took their best shot in either ping-pong or foosball after purchasing a Puma shirt or jacket. Winners from the elimination round advanced to the finals on May 1, 2011.

The championship round for the Foosball competition pitted a battle of the sexes! Seth and Grace were the last two standing and it was one hell of a close fight wherein Seth took home the prize. Congratulations to Seth (foosball) and Neilben (ping-pong) for being the Puma Social Games Cebu champions and for winning Php10k worth of Puma products each!

Puma Social continues until May with Social Games featuring ping-pong and foosball matches. Next stop will be Cagayan de Oro, followed by Bacolod and Davao.

The Puma Store located in Ayala Center Cebu's Activie Zone.
