The coming Unigames-Collegiate Grand Slam Volleyball, finals of the National Basketball League, and the country’s first athlete to qualify in the Tokyo Olympics in pole vaulter EJ Obiena make up Tuesday’s wide-ranging discussion in the Philippine Sportswriters Association Forum at the Amelie Hotel-Manila.
Philippine Super Liga President Ian Laurel and Rommel Sytin are coming over to talk about the Oct. 19-27 Unigames in Iloilo City which will be held in honor of Dominic Sytin, the late CEO of United Auctioneers Inc. and benefactor of the University of the Philippines Lady Maroons.
The protagonists of the NBL finals meanwhile, will discuss their best-of-three title series, with coach Allan Trinidad and players Mark Tamayo, CJ Gania, and Harryson Bautista representing the Pampanga Delta, and coach Bing Victoria along with players LJ Mayo, Helino Francisco, and Mike Sampuma coming in behalf of the Taguig Generals.
And to cap the busy session presented by San Miguel Corp., Braska Restaurant, Amelie Hotel, and the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation, the 23-year-old Obiena tackles the preparation he’s been doing for the 30th Southeast Asian Games and next year’s Tokyo Olympics.
The 10:00 a.m. session is being livestreamed via the PSA Facebook page fb.com/PhilippineSportswritersAssociation and aired on a delayed basis over Radyo Pilipinas 2 from 1-2 p.m. and later at 6:30 p.m.
