"If you don't have time to do it right, when will you have the time to do it over? Stop searching the world for treasure, the real treasure is in yourself"
I always believe that the perfect right time in achieving your child dreams in life, is start in their own self and develop it with proper guidance and support. And I am glad to know that Alaska Philippines partnership with Jr. NBA and Jr. WNBA is here to guide us in developing our children skills in basketball and also to promote healthy lifestyle.
Basket ball is big hit in our country, and I see that we Filipinos truly love this game by being a fan and always love to play and watch this sports. This is the reason why every street in our country you will see basketball ring/court.
Last January 23, 2016 at Don Bosco Technical School Makati City, Jr. NBA and Jr. WNBA tip-off is already started. And I am lucky to be part of this event because it was a successful basketball program and i see that all the participants - children, coaches and parents are enjoying the whole day program and activities.
