vivo and UA&P Inspire Young Athletes in Quezon City

MANILA, PHILIPPINES – The University of Asia and the Pacific (UA&P) Community Outreach Program, in collaboration with vivo, recently hosted an inspiring event that highlighted the talents and enthusiasm of young athletes in Quezon City. On November 30, 2024, children from 10 barangays participated in a mini-tournament featuring mixed teams, as well as age divisions from under 10 to under 14 years old.

A Heartwarming Initiative

UA&P Men’s Futsal Team Coach Christian Dominguez, who initiated the outreach, shared the origins of the program, which began before the COVID-19 pandemic. “We gathered the kids from our neighborhood so they could have fun, meet each other, and eventually, I suggested that we turn it into a community outreach program. After the pandemic, we resumed the program and were fortunate enough to partner with an LGU to help fund and support our efforts,” Dominguez explained.

Long-term Vision and Support from vivo

The program’s long-term goal is to build a competitive team in Culiat that could represent the city at the Palarong Pambansa. Dominguez expressed gratitude for vivo’s ongoing support, emphasizing that vivo has played an instrumental role in the program’s growth by providing necessary resources and backing.

Glenn Chiu, Assistant Brand Marketing Director at vivo Philippines, remarked, “At vivo, we’re proud to support programs like this that nurture young talent and promote active lifestyles. Our partnership with UA&P allows us to inspire the next generation of athletes.”

Fostering Future Athletes

The success of this event underscores the significant impact community and sports can have on shaping the future of young athletes. With vivo’s continued support, the program is poised to inspire even more local youth to engage in sports, foster teamwork, and strive for excellence in all aspects of their lives.
