"I invite the bayang karerista to come to SLLP or to any OTB near you and witness the well-balanced races. I would like to thank Philracom headed by chairman Jimmy Dilag for their continued support to MJC," said MJC vice president for corporate management Henri Kahn.
Providing support in today’s main event is the Philracom-sponsored "Chino Roces Freedom Cup" in honor of well-known freedom advocate, Don Joaquin "Chino" Roces. — Ramon Romualdez
