TM partners with Chooks-to-Go Pilipinas to elevate 3x3

Chooks-to-Go and TM: partner in 3x3

A new partnership for the 2020 3x3 season in the Philippines.

Chooks-to-Go Pilipinas officially welcomed Globe into the world of 3x3 basketball, entering into a partnership with TM for the upcoming President Cup.

TM sees this as an opportunity for Filipinos to take a moment from their stressful days to relax and bond with their families by watching the league’s action-filled games via online streaming as we wait for the day when live audiences can be allowed in sporting events again.

Globe VP for Consumer Mobile Business Kristelle Dizon shares, "TM is one with the Chooks-to-Go Pilipinas 3x3 President’s Cup in championing the talents of our local players and bringing them to the international stage." She adds, "We continue to look for ways to help rekindle the passion of fans for basketball games by supporting Chooks-to-Go Pilipinas 3x3 President’s Cup online. This will allow fans to watch and support their favorite teams while staying safe at home."

On the new partnership, Chooks-to-Go Pilipinas 3x3 league owner Ronald Mascariñas says, "We are glad to have a partner in TM that shares the same vision as ours -- to help bring the Filipino athlete to the global stage."

Chooks-to-Go Pilipinas 3x3 held its inaugural season last year, with the aim to boosting the profile of the Philippines in 3x3 basketball. The initiatives of the league eventually led to sending a couple of its teams into the FIBA 3x3 World Tour, as well as securing a spot in the Olympic Qualifying Tournament for Tokyo 2020.

Slated to take place in October, the President's Cup powered by TM will help prepare pool members of the national team get ready for the OQT, which is scheduled next year in Austria. The pool is composed of Joshua Munzon, Alvin Pasaol, Leonard Santillan, and Troy Rike. The quartet comprise the Zamboanga City Family's Brand Sardines-Chooks team that is one of the twelve teams in the tournament.

Serving as the teams opposing Zamboanga City are Butuan City-Uling Roasters, Bacolod-Masters Sardines, Nueva Ecija Rice Vanguards, Palayan City Capitals, Zamboanga Peninsula Valientes-MLV, Porac-Big Boss Cement Green Gorillas, Bicol 3x3 Pro, Pasig-Sta. Lucia Realtors, Sarangani Marlins, Pagadian City-Rocky Sports Valientes, and Petra Cement.
