Few more days and the wait would be over! The excitement builds up over the 1st UNTV Cup, a project spearheaded by UNTV-BMPI CEO Daniel Razon. Seven government agencies and institutions will battle face-to-face that will start on the 29th of July to be held at Smart Araneta.

One of the more talked about development is future boxing hall of famer Manny Pacquiao, a basketball enthusiast himself, is invited to play with his co-public servants in the event. If decided, this could be a great opportunity to the Sarangani Congressman to showcase his basketball skills and to play the game for a cause.

Mr. Public Service, Kuya Daniel Razon, recently spearheaded the MOA signing held at Dolce Latte in Quezon Ave., Quezon City. According to Kuya Daniel, this competition would be a great avenue to give public servants a chance to enjoy playing basketball and a chance for them to help their favorite charitable institution through the prizes they could win in the competition.

1 Million Peso cash prize will be given to the chosen charitable institution of the winning team. The runner up will receive 500,000 pesos.
