Basketball and charity took center stage as Mighty Sports inaugurated its new courts at AcroCity in Guiguinto, Bulacan, turning the occasion into a festive gathering where fans got to watch some of the country’s familiar stars while continuing its tradition of giving back to athletes and communities.

The celebration brought together former Philippine Basketball Association players, collegiate standouts, and current stars for an exhibition game that gave fans a glimpse of the new facility while raising support for Guiguinto student-athletes, the Persons with Disabilities Malolos Foundation, and the Xavier School Association Retired Colleagues Inc.

For AcroCity and Czark Mak chairman Caesar Wongchuking, the event reflected the family’s long-standing connection with sports and its support for schools and communities.

“Sports has truly become like family to us,” Wongchuking said, citing the family’s support for Xavier School, Ateneo de Manila, and other schools, as well as its success in international basketball competitions.

“It would be a huge honor for us if this becomes a venue for discovering our athletes,” he added, referring to the new courts as a potential venue for discovering and developing young talent.

Team AcroCity Zavier All-Stars featured Chris Tiu, Charles Tiu, TY Tang, Jett Manuel, Tyler Tio, Joseph Yeo, Jeron Teng, and AcroCity executive vice president and director Angelo Wongchuking.
