Few more days and the wait would be over! The excitement builds up over the 1st UNTV Cup, a project spearheaded by UNTV-BMPI CEO Daniel Razon. Seven government agencies and institutions will battle face-to-face that will start on the 29th of July to be held at Smart Araneta.
One of the more talked about development is future boxing hall of famer Manny Pacquiao, a basketball enthusiast himself, is invited to play with his co-public servants in the event. If decided, this could be a great opportunity to the Sarangani Congressman to showcase his basketball skills and to play the game for a cause.

Mr. Public Service, Kuya Daniel Razon, recently spearheaded the MOA signing held at Dolce Latte in Quezon Ave., Quezon City. According to Kuya Daniel, this competition would be a great avenue to give public servants a chance to enjoy playing basketball and a chance for them to help their favorite charitable institution through the prizes they could win in the competition.
1 Million Peso cash prize will be given to the chosen charitable institution of the winning team. The runner up will receive 500,000 pesos.
The seven teams are represented by Col. Agane Adriatico of the AFP, Reynaldo Agoncillo of PNP, Joseph Cabanting of the Judiciary, Isagani Obispo Jr of the Department of Justice, Mario Matanguhan of PhilHealth, USEC GM Corazon Jimenez of MMDA and former PBA player Gerry Esplana for Congress/Local Government Unit (LGU).
Mr. Gerry Panghulan, VP for Operation BMPI/UNTV, will head the game while former PBA star and now Mapua coach Fortunato “Atoy” Co will be the commissioner with Mr. Ed Cordero acting as the assistant commissioner.
