MILO "Swimmer Champion" with Enchong Dee, Johansen Aguilar and the DLSU Green Tankers






Actor, swimmer, three-time UAAP Swimming Championships men's division MVP and 2007 Philippine record holder for men's 50-meter butterfly Enchong Dee endorses Milo, a energy drink brand of Nestle.



Dee himself wears Japan arena AGL-1400_ EMBL and ARN-6014 DGRN Half Spats nux-F along with other members of De La Salle University (DLSU) Green Tankers batches 2007-2008 to 2018-2019 (except for Johansen Aguilar, Pierce Beltran, Jhonmar Gonzales and Kito Zialcita).




He led De La Salle University (DLSU) Green Tankers in 2009 to its first UAAP swimming title in 6 years while bagging 3 MVP titles throughout his collegiate career.

He made the country proud when he competed in the Asian Games held in Doha, Qatar in 2006 and Southeast Asian Games at Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand in 2007.

“I feel better, I get healthier, and I inspire people with that sport,” he said.

Dee is part of ABS-CBN’s “The Blood Sisters” headlined by Erich Gonzales, Ejay Falcon and AJ Muhlach and Regal Entertainment movie “Elise” starring Janine Gutierrez, Laura Lehmann, Victor Anastacio and Miko Raval.

He participated at the 2007 Southeast Asian Games swimming competitions at the Aquatic Center, His Majesty the King's 80th Birthday Anniversary Stadium, Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand. He was in lane 8 of men’s 100-meter butterfly finals on December 9, 2007 at past 6:29 p.m. local time (7:29 p.m. Manila time) and lane 1 of men’s 200-meter butterfly finals on Tuesday, December 11 at past 6:20 p.m. local time (7:20 p.m. Manila time) due to activists clashed with riot police in Manila, Quezon City, Rodriguez, San Mateo, Marikina, San Juan, Mandaluyong, Makati, Pasig, Cainta, Taytay, Angono, Binangonan, Pasay, Paranaque, Las Pinas, Muntinlupa and San Pedro, and he was the eighth place finish in the said event with the time of 2 minutes, 11.47 seconds.

“I hope Enchong hasn’t dropped his Olympic aspirations. I’m happy he’s getting lots of projects at ABS-CBN, but I would hope ABS-CBN would allow him to concentrate on the Olympics as well."

yung kay Enchong Dee the best example of those things that I’ve mentioned, the kid is good but if you do not take him to places where his skills and potential will be challenged then we wont get the result that we expect.

In Season 71, he cinched his second MVP title.

Season 72 turned out to be stellar for Enchong and the DLSU Green Tankers. Enchong helped steer the team to a championship, ending La Salle’s six-year drought in UAAP men’s swimming. Enchong won the 800-meter freestyle, 200-meter individual medley, 100-meter butterfly, 50-meter butterfly, 400-meter individual medley, 1,500-meter freestyle and 200-meter butterfly— a remarkable total harvest of seven gold medals in one season. His feats in Season 72 accounted for 63 points of the DLSU Tankers’ 240 points for that year.

Two years after his graduation, Enchong signed with Nike to wear 2011 Nike exclusive De La Salle Dri-Fit tee (white-green and green-white) it was bundled with 2009 adidas DLSU hoodie and pant (green).
