Mighty Sports backs Siargao Island kids

MANILA, Philippines - Mighty Sports continued its community work in the countryside as it donated books and rehabilitated the lone basketball court in Barangay Garcia, Sta. Monica in Siargao Island recently.

The court, according to Mighty Sports director Harlan Yu, was officially inaugurated last May 25 to the cheers of over 100 kids, most of them carrying balls also donated by Mighty Sports in cooperation with SOS Youth Inc.

“Everybody was ecstatic, and despite the heat, the barefoot kids played after the inauguration,” said Yu.

Barangay captain Lina Virtudazo thanked Mighty Sports for its assistance, saying: “I couldn’t believe that a private company like Mighty Sports, with no interest or connection to our barangay, will do this for us and I thank Mighty Sports for having the heart to share its blessings to our poor community.”
