✪ The UNTV Cup Season 2 will officially commence on February 11, 2014 at Smart Araneta. On this season’s league, the teams were given the privilege to get a maximum of two professional basketball ( PBA ) players for reinforcement, subject to certain qualifications. In addition to the participating teams of last season, the success of the advocacy inspired both Malacañan and Senate to join this upcoming season.
To further enhance the public service aspect of the league, each game day every Sunday will also be a public service day for the participating agencies. Prior to the game, each agency will be given a booth at the game venue, where our game audience may seek for the services of each organization.
All games will be held every Sunday at Ynares Sports Arena, and broadcasted live 2:30pm at UNTV.
