San Remegio Beach Club caging kicks off August 14

Sports development and community service are the main objectives in the 1st San Remegio Beach Club Basketball League set to kick off 8 a.m. on August 14 at the Visayan Glass Gym in Guadalupe.

Mark Ynoc, organizer and commissioner of the league said the tournament is organized to help raise funds for scholarships for the less fortunate children in San Remegio.
