Grassroots sports development in Bacolod City! 🧡
Today at the MICES Gym, 30 young Bacolodnon girls laced up to train directly with the Gilas Pilipinas U18 Women’s Team. Through a powerhouse partnership between the city and the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (SBP), elite, national-level standards were brought straight to our local hardwood.
Running drills alongside the country's top athletes changes the game entirely. Our young hoopers absorbed the exact plays, intense discipline, and winning mindset required to dominate. Getting this close to the action gives them a realistic, hands-on look at exactly what it takes to represent Bacolod—and eventually the nation—on the biggest stages.
This level of exclusive access perfectly captures Mayor G’s approach to sports development, aggressively closing the gap between local talent and national mentors. By consistently driving high-caliber grassroots programs like this, Mayor G is actively building a local culture of excellence, ensuring our homegrown athletes are always equipped and primed for the top. 🧡
