AcroCity has thrown its full support to the Negros Basketball Association (NBA) Invitational Basketball Tournament on 22 February at the Po Hang gym of Tay Tung School in Bacolod City.

The event — dubbed as AcroCity presents NBA Legends Cup — will gather prominent players of Negros, including former Ginebra star Noli Locsin, Bong Ravena and Villarias brothers — Vernie and Vic — who once competed with pride and passion in major collegiate and amateur leagues, and eventually in the Philippine Basketball Association.

“We are more than glad to be part of this momentous event that will see Negros legends showcase once again the talents that have made them big in various leagues,” said Angelo Wongchuking, executive vice president of Czark Mak Group, developer of AcroCity that is located in the high-growth region of Bulacan and Central Luzon.

AcroCity is poised to become the region’s newest lifestyle hub, offering an exceptional experience for both residents and visitors alike.

“We have lots of friends from Negros who played for my team before, including Victor Villarias,” Wongchuking said.

Like older brother Vernie, Victor played for University of the East in the University Athletic Association of the Philippines and later on in the Philippine Basketball League.

“We know very well how they are missed by their families, friends and fans, so we are giving our support to their reunion games to provide fun,” CZM director Keith Wongchuking Jr. added.

The event, also backed by Upgrade, Apir and Sapporo, will also honor the founding officials of the association, led by the late Dodong Bascon.

As part of their “giving back” to the communities that supported them all the way, the NBA legends decided to make their “reunion games” free to the public.
