Our heartfelt gratitude to the LGU of Pagadian, led by Mayor Sammy Co, and Asenso Sports, headed by Councilor Lance Co, for the warm hospitality extended to our entire delegation.
From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with open arms and made to feel truly at home. Their generosity was evident throughout our stay, from hosting a memorable Mayor’s Night that treated more than 700 delegates to a sumptuous dinner featuring several whole lechons and fresh tuna prepared as sashimi and kinilaw, to providing transportation, guided tours, and complimentary access to local attractions.
What makes this support even more meaningful is Councilor Lance Co’s personal connection to youth sports. As a former Passerelle player at Ateneo de Cebu, he experienced firsthand how the tournament develops not only basketball skills but also discipline, teamwork, and strong values. Those lessons helped shape his character and continue to guide him in his service to the people of Pagadian.
Thank you, Mayor Sammy Co, Councilor Lance Co, the LGU of Pagadian, and the entire Asenso Sports team for giving our delegation such a warm welcome and a truly unforgettable experience. Your generosity, hospitality, and commitment to youth development have left a lasting impression on all of us.
