IN response to the rapid growth of volleyball in the country, Mighty Sports inaugurated its new volleyball courts at AcroCity in Guiguinto, Bulacan on Saturday, drawing a good mix of young and old fans.
What made the event very special was the presence of the ZUS Coffee Thunderbelles and PBA star Scottie Thompson of Ginebra San Miguel.
Thunderbelles turn up
The inauguration of its volleyball facility came just two weeks after Mighty Sports officially opened its basketball courts, where former Xavier School and PBA stars, led by Chris Tiu and Joseph Yeo, took part in a charity basketball event.
This time, it was the Thunderbelles’ turn to provide action and entertainment to the crowd, especially to the young ones who are also dreaming of representing the country in big-time events someday.
The huge turnout of fans elated AcroCity and Czark Mak chairman Caesar Wongchuking, who said: “Volleyball has a different magnetic force, fans really enjoyed the moment.”
“Acrocity's commitment to Bulakeños is to provide wholesome family entertainment, food and sports facilities,” said Wongchuking. “Soon, we will expand our development in providing quality homes and to cater to the Bulacan residents but as an alternative to Metro Manila and other nearby Central Luzon investors.”
Wongchuking said the success of the event would not have been possible without the support of Bulacan Vice Governor Alex Castro, ZUS Coffe owner Frank Lao and the Thunderbelles, especially Jolina Dela Cruz and veterans Jovelyn Gonzaga, and Rachel Anne Daquis who gamely interacted with the young fans during the meet-and-greet session.
The affair was highlighted by the exhibition game between ZUS Coffee and the Makata Selection of Bulacan, with the proceeds going to the Tahanang Mapagpala of Immaculada Concepcion Foundation, Inc.
AcroCity, envisioned as a “Live, Work, Play” destination in Guiguinto, is also home to Acro Residences Hotel and restaurants like Cafe de Margaux and Mt. Fuji and event venues (Ang Hardin) and NDW Plaza – named after the Wongchuking family matriarch Nelia D. Wongchuking.
