Gilas Pilipinas and Max’s Restaurant is collaborating anew! Renowned Filipino restaurant Max’s is getting involved again with the national basketball team, this time for FIBA 2023. This collaboration could bring various benefits for both parties as Gilas Pilipinas will receive support and resources from Max’s Restaurant, which could help enhance their performance and preparation for the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023. Likewise for Max’s Restaurant as they would gain increased visibility and brand exposure through their association with the national team and the widely-watched sporting event.

Such partnerships often showcase the unity between sports and local businesses, fostering a sense of national pride and support for the team. It will be interesting to see how this collaboration unfolds and how it impacts both the team and the restaurant.

True to its “Puso to the Max” campaign—a reflection of Gilas Pilipinas and Max’s Restaurant efforts to empower every Filipino—the partnership would see the two collaborate in delivering inspiration for aspiring Filipino athletes through joint efforts that are aimed to help the Filipino youth realize their full potential in the sports arena, basketball in particular.

To kick off the partnership, Max’s introduced the “Gilas Pilipinas Best Plate.” This features the restaurant’s all-time favorites, including its famous Sarap-to-the-Bones Fried Chicken plus a glass of Pepsi for only P499.

The brand has committed that for every purchase of the “Mythical Five Set Meal,” ₱100 will be dedicated to finance the renovation of 3 local basketball courts through the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas.

During the event, Gilas Pilipinas players also made announcements of their scheduled games as they will represent the Philippines in the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023 where they would be facing off cagers from other countries.
