Over the years, Osprey PH has evolved into a melting pot of diverse personalities, backgrounds, and abilities, united by a shared belief that adventure is accessible to everyone, anywhere.
The 50th-anniversary celebration of Osprey PH was held on June 21 at ROX Bonifacio High Street, attended by media partners, guests, and members of the Mountaineering Federation of the Philippines Inc. (MFPI). The event offered a retrospective on Osprey’s journey over the past five decades.
Among the highlights was an inspiring talk by Anna Tolentino, winner of the Osprey adventure contest. A dedicated Osprey user, Tolentino shared her experiences of traveling the world with her reliable Osprey gear. The celebration also featured the awarding of a limited-edition 50th Anniversary Arcane Bag to Anna.
The festivities began with a warm welcome from Aiza Dagdagan, senior brand executive of Osprey PH. “Osprey started with a dream to create innovative and high-quality gear that would support adventurers in their quests. From summit climbs to snowy adventures, trail rides to sunrise runs, Osprey has been there, helping them carry their legacy,” Dagdagan shared.
In honor of this milestone, Osprey PH organized a three-leg hike in partnership with ROX Peak Pursuit, showcasing the landscapes of Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. The hikes took place at Mt. Holon in South Cotabato, Mt. Talinis in Negros Occidental, and Mt. Makiling in Sto. Tomas, Batangas. A compiled AVP of these hikes was showcased during the event, highlighting the beauty and adventure that Osprey gear has supported over the years.
A significant highlight of the anniversary celebration was the formalization of Osprey’s partnership with MFPI. The memorandum of agreement was signed by Erwin Nava, vice president for Luzon at MFPI, and Aiza Dagdagan, representing Osprey Philippines.
As part of this partnership, Osprey PH provided various products to MFPI, underscoring its commitment to supporting the organization and its members. This collaboration promises exciting opportunities and adventures, reinforcing Osprey’s dedication to fostering a vibrant outdoor community.
Half a century later, Osprey PH remains as passionate as ever about inspiring adventurers in their pursuits, whether it’s a summit scramble, a snow-capped thrill, a single-track lap, or a sunrise run. Reflecting on this remarkable milestone, Osprey PH extends heartfelt thanks to the community that has supported the brand from untrodden trails to well-worn paths.
