TNT Tropang 5G are going all-out in harnessing the potential of young Filipino hoopers through the “RHJ On Tour,” a free basketball clinic led by former NBA player and three-time PBA Best Import Rondae Hollis-Jefferson.
Coming off back-to-back PBA championships, RHJ and the entire TNT Tropang 5G have been looking for ways to give back to fans for their unwavering support. RHJ on Tour, held in Metro Manila and select provinces, is an opportunity to do just that.

“This is something truly special for me as I have become quite a Filipino at heart playing for Tropang 5G. I look at this basketball tour as a huge opportunity to share my experience and push young Filipino players to chase their dreams and become the future of the game,” said the 30-year-old import.
Five-time PBA Best Player of the Conference and three-time Finals MVP Castro said he wasn't going to miss the opportunity to give back to TNT fans, particularly to young basketball hopefuls, even if he's recovering from a knee injury.
For the TNT brand, this program is part of its commitment to harness the next generation of Filipino athletes.
“TNT and Smart have always championed youth basketball, a sport that’s ingrained in our DNA. We are happy to do our part and go around the country and maybe even find potential young athlete in the process,” shared Lloyd R. Manaloto, FVP for Brand Marketing at Smart Communications, Inc.
