Cagayan de Oro City, Philippines – June 22, 2024 – 8a Performance, a premier Filipino sports
apparel brand, is thrilled to announce the grand opening of its first-ever store with The Ayala

A Journey from Passion to Performance
Founded by Arman “Maman” Salada, a professional rock climber, born and raised in Cagayan de
Oro, 8a Performance was born out of a need for high-quality, affordable sportswear. Maman’s
journey through local and international climbing competitions highlighted the scarcity of costeffective, comfortable sports apparel, motivating him to create a brand that caters to the needs
of athletes like himself. Named after the ‘8a’ grade in sport climbing, which signifies advanced
performance, 8a Performance embodies the spirit of pushing beyond limits and achieving
excellence.

Grand Opening Event Highlights
The opening ceremony will feature a ribbon cutting with photo opportunities alongside the 8a
Performance owner and representatives with special guests. Councilor Bernie will deliver welcome
remarks, followed by a media interview. Refreshments will begin at 3:00 PM, with giveaways
distributed at 3:20 PM.

Additionally, a 20% discount on selected items will be available exclusively on opening day,
making it the perfect opportunity to experience 8a Performance’s top-quality gear.
