Despite the challenges and difficulties of being a world-renowned athletes, legendary boxer Manny Pacquiao and Olympic Weightlifting Gold Medalist Hidilyn Diaz showcased their eagerness and determination as they competed against one another at the most recent Alaxan’s Showdown of the Year which took place at the Unilab Bayanihan Center in Pasig City last March 29, 2023.
During the event, the two athletes challenge one another by taking turns on doing each other’s roles-Diaz challenged Pacquiao to lift weights while Pacquiao dared Diaz to spar while at the same time, attentively and carefully learning from each other. Aside from this, the top-notch athletes also shared about their recent professional and personal endeavors and reveals their companion in their triumphs through the years.
Along with the pain relief medicine brand Alaxan FR, the two aims to empower hardworking Filipinos-the everyday champions-who persistently continue and push their limits in order to fulfill their ambitions. In addition to this, Pacquiao and Diaz exhibit the same enthusiasm in their other endeavors in life as they continue honing their crafts professions to advance in their respective sports.
Pacquiao recently unveiled his housing project called “Pacman Village” in Saranggani Province after
he was named “ambassador for the homeless and vulnerable” by international organization Spring Rain Global. He also devotes his time to assisting emerging young boxers, including as Mark Magsayo, who in 2022, bagged the WBC featherweight title. Pacquiao juggles these charitable ventures and his training as he gears up for an upcoming match this 2023 in Japan.
On the other hand, Hidilyn Diaz is putting in a lot of work and effort as she switches to the 59-kg division for the forthcoming 2024 Paris Olympics in an attempt to retain or defend the gold she won at the last Olympics in 2020. Diaz, who was honored as the Philippine Sportswriters Association’s (PSA) Athlete of the Year strives to promote weightlifting and empower young aspiring athletes, especially women, to
reach their dreams.
Allowing them to concentrate on being champions without worrying about physical discomfort or worrying about any serious side effects, Pacquiao and Diaz make sure that they are accompanied by their tried and tested pain relief partner while they’re both busy in their professional and personal ventures.
Pacquiao has been taking Alaxan FR in fighting body pains from trainings and as well as his non-athletic activities and endeavors since 2001.
Pacquiao shared how Alaxan FR has been a reliable companion. “Alaxan 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 ‘di ako nangangamba kapag nakararanas ng sakit ng katawan dahil sinusunod ko ang correct dose,” The boxer said.
On the other hand, Diaz shared how Filipinos are known for being hard-working. “Kilala ang mga Pinoy bilang masisipag kaya talagang isinasabuhay ko ‘to hanggang ngayon. Kapag weightlifter ka, hindi talaga maiiwasan ‘yong sakit ng katawan. I’m 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,” Diaz said.
Valerie Ifurung-Siquian from UNILAB Consumer Health said that “Pacquiao and Hidilyn have been icons and testaments that attaining your dreams is possible through determination. We’re very honored to have these champions who are very discerning about their health trust Alaxan, and we’re looking forward to seeing them achieve bigger things in life and in their career without worrying about body pains.”
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). In fact, in a systematic analysis done by Cochrane in
2015, they found that “there were fewer side effects for people taking ibuprofen plus paracetamol than
those taking placebo (a pretend treatment).” The study highlighted only Ibuprofen Paracetamol as
having a good safety profile among all other common pain medicines that were included in the study.
