BROTHERS Matt and Mike Nieto have once again come to the aid to the people of Cainta, Rizal as they donating 13 pairs of shoes for aspiring basketball players there.
Incumbent city mayor Kit Nieto shared the latest deed from the Gilas Pilipinas duo as he hopes to give it to deserving beneficiaries in the next 13 days.
The Nieto brothers have always been generous in helping their fellow Cainta residents, raising donations at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.

But it's also an interesting side story for the local elections in the city where basketball will be at the forefront.
