ALAGANG PBA TROOPS TO BOGO, CEBU FRIDAY
The city of Bogo in Cebu province is the next stop of the Philippine Basketball Association in its continuing efforts to help relief operations for the victims of super howler Yolanda.
Petron Blaze stars Arwind Santos and Alex Cabagnot, Barako Bull’s Willie Miller and GlobalPort’s Sol Mercado take their turn to personally lend a hand in the league’s program, joining PBA commissioner Chito Salud and chairman Mon Segismundo in their Bogo visit on Friday.
Actress Shaina Magdayao, a Bogo native, and Excite Inc. chief operating officer Icel Palomares Argana, with their own relief goods, will be part of the PBA delegation on this trip that is part of the Alagang PBA program.
The PBA is giving away basketball backboards, goals and balls on top of relief packages to the people of Bogo which was among those hardest hit by super typhoon Yolanda.
Salud and his team are coordinating with Cebu Board member Yayoy Alcoseba, travel/tours expert Andrew Teh and Congressman Celestino Martinez.
Last November, Mark Caguioa, Jimmy Alapag and Asi Taulava, LA Tenorio and Danny Seigle helped in PBA’s relief operations in Tacloban City.
“This is our way of showing support to our brothers who were devastated by Yolanda. And the PBA is on it for the long term, not just one time,” said the league commissioner then.
“Babalik kami ng babalik sa mga nasalantang lugar. We’ll visit Ormoc, Samar, Bohol and even Cebu,” Salud added.
And as promised by the PBA chieftain, the league hit the road again, delivering goods to our unfortunate brothers and sisters.
