MANILA — A handful of former and current PBA players showed up to celebrate the inauguration of new basketball courts at AcroCity in Guiguinto, Bulacan recently.
The inauguration of the new courts by Mighty Sports was highlighted by an exhibition game and also raised support for Guiguinto student-athletes, the Persons with Disabilities Malolos Foundation and the Xavier School Association Retired Colleagues Inc.
"Pamilya na rin po talaga namin ang sports," said AcroCity and Czark Mak chairman Caesar Wongchuking. "Magiging malaking karangalan po sa amin na ito yung maging venue ng discovery ng mga atleta natin."

Fifth District of Bulacan Rep. Agatha Paula Agay Cruz said the development also reflects the potential of Guiguinto and the opportunities it can provide to its residents.
"What we are creating is opportunities for families to grow, to live, to work and to play," said Cruz.
The new courts form part of the Mighty Sports Center at AcroCity, a development envisioned as a "Live, Work, Play" destination in Guiguinto.
