Notwithstanding difficulties as world-renowned athletes, boxing legend Manny Pacquiao and weightlifting champion Hidilyn Diaz showcased their determination as they challenge one another at the recent Alaxanβs Showdown of the Year held at the Unilab Bayanihan Center.
To celebrate the coming together of Pacquiao and Diaz for Alaxan FR, the duo challenged each other by switching rolesβDiaz challenged Pacquiao to lift weights while Pacquiao dared Diaz to a sparring. Aside from the challenges, the top-notch athletes also shared about their recent professional and personal endeavors and reveals their companion in their triumph through the years.
Together with the pain relief medicine brand Alaxan FR, Pacquiao and Diaz, aim to empower hardworking Filipinosβthe everyday championsβwho continuously persevere and push their limits to achieve their goals and aspirations.
Moreover, as they continue honing their craft to level up with their respective sports, Pacquiao and Diaz, likewise demonstrate the same passion in their other endeavors.
Pacquiao recently unveiled his housing project called βPacman Villageβ in Saranggani Province after he was named “ambassador for the homeless and vulnerable” by international organization Spring Rain Global. He is also dedicating his time in supporting young boxers including Mark Magsayo who held the WBC featherweight title in 2022. Pacquiao juggles these social projects with his training as he gears up for an upcoming match this 2023 in Japan.
Hidilyn Diaz, on the other hand, is undergoing rigorous training as she transitions to the 59-kg division for the upcoming 2024 Paris Olympics in her attempt to defend the gold after snatching it in the last Olympics in 2020. Named the Athlete of the Year by the Philippine Sportswriters Association (PSA), Hidilyn strives to promote weightlifting and empower young aspiring athletes, especially women, to reach their dreams.
While busy with both professional and personal ventures, Pacquiao and Diaz ensure they are accompanied by their tried and tested pain relief partner which helps them focus on being champions without worrying about body pains and without fear of any serious side effect.
Since 2001, Pacquiao has been taking Alaxan FR in fighting body pains not only from trainings but also from his non-athletic activities and endeavors.
βAlaxan FR ang naging kaagapay ko for the past 22 years. Ngayong 44 years old na ako, masasabi kong malusog at malakas pa rin ako, at βdi ako nangangamba kapag nakararanas ng sakit ng katawan dahil sinusunod ko ang correct dose,β Pacquiao shared.
[Alaxan FR has been a reliable companion for the past 22 years. Now that I am 44 years old, I could say that I am perfectly healthy and have nothing to worry about when experiencing and treating my body pain because I always follow the correct dose.]
βKilala ang mga Pinoy bilang masisipag kaya talagang isinasabuhay ko βto hanggang ngayon. Kapag weightlifter ka, hindi talaga maiiwasan βyong sakit ng katawan. Iβm sure marami rin sa atin ang nakakaranas ng ganito sa araw-araw kaya importante na mayroong trusted companion gaya ng Alaxan na tumutulong labanan ang body pain at magpatuloy sa laban,β Diaz said.
[Filipinos are known for being hard-working and it is a value that I always keep in mind until now. As a professional weightlifter, body pains are inevitable. Iβm sure many of us also experience this in our daily lives so itβs important to have a trusted companion like Alaxan that will help us beat body pains and continue moving forward.]
Trusted by many Filipinos for 50 years, Alaxan has not caused serious side effects with regard to taking this pain relief medicine. That is because it combined a lower level of Ibuprofen & Paracetamol (200mg Ibuprofen and 325mg Paracetamol).Β In fact, in a systematic analysis done by Cochrane in 2015, they found that βthere were fewer side effects for people taking ibuprofen plus paracetamol than those taking placebo (a pretend treatment).β The study highlighted only Ibuprofen Paracetamol as having a good safety profile among all other common pain medicines that were included in the study.
βPacquiao and Hidilyn have been icons and testaments that attaining your dreams is possible through determination. Weβre very honored to have these champions who are very discerning about their health trust Alaxan, and weβre looking forward to seeing them achieve bigger things in life and in their career without worrying about body pains,β said Valerie Ifurung-Siquian from UNILAB Consumer Health.
