WINNERS OF NESVITA PRO-WEIGHT MANAGEMENT’S WEIGHT & SEE VIDEO CONTEST SHARE THEIR STORIES

The NESVITA Pro-Weight Management Weight and See video contest showcased the many tips and secrets to weight management—whether it be to gain, lose, or maintain weight. On January 21, 2009, winners gathered at the Nestlé office not only to receive their prizes, but to meet the other winners as well.

For DLSU-College of St. Benilde students Carmen Del Prado and her boyfriend Julian Rodriguez, doing their video entry entitled “The Secret” was a labor of love.  Since both of them are taking up multi-media arts, they had fun doing their own 30-seconder video. Carmen and Julian are both much into sports, doing football, volleyball and spending a lot of time mountain biking together.  For their entry to end up in the top 10, they both aggressively campaigned in social networking sites such as Facebook and promoted their video among classmates. The entry they submitted landed them a spot in the top 10 and won them a brand new iPod Nano.

Victory Church’s Communications Director James Michael Deen found out about the video contest through an online link.  Since he was already on his weight-loss program as stated in his blog, James decided to join the contest and make it as his testimonial as to how he dropped his weight from 234 lbs. to his present weight of 198 lbs.  His entry entitled “Little Things Count” which he did for 2 days ended up in the top 10 videos and also won him an iPod Nano.

Twenty-year old UST student James Edward Uy was enticed to join the contest by his high school classmate.  His entry dubbed “The 4 Aspects” reiterated the importance of exercise, diet, healthy lifestyle and discipline as his secret in maintaining his weight.  James regularly works out to keep himself in tip-top shape.  He was more than happy that his entry ended up as one of the winning entries in the NESVITA Pro-Weight Management Weight and See Video Contest.

Gerry Barcelona’s entry, “Tubig para sa Too Big”, was executed in a single sitting, from concept to shooting schedule.  Gerry, a blogger himself,  promoted his entry thru SMS.  He also invited other bloggers to vote for his entry.  He believes that exercise and other physical activities such as jogging is the key to maintaining his body weight.

The other winners received an iPod nano each and these are “Brother” by Maui Reyes, “Just Move And Exercise” by Monina Lao, and “Macho Gwapito” by Jonald Linga.  The top entry, “Ways To Maintain Your Body Weight” by Steve Christopher Wong won P50,000 in cash and an iPod Nano.  The 2nd prize entry is “S.E.E.cret To Weight Management” by Jeffrey Sy took home P30,000 in cash and an iPod Nano.  The 3rd prize worth P20,000 and an iPod Nano was won by Jerome Estrella for his entry entitled “Know Your Body First.”
