This community-driven tournament promotes camaraderie, teamwork, and sportsmanship among the eight competing teams.
The tournament officially started with a motorcade from Cebu City Hall Grounds passing through South Road Properties, Barangay Mambaling, F. Llamas Street, both in Barangays Punta Princesa and Tisa, until the end of the route at Labangon Elementary School in Barangay Labangon. The tournament will occur on all Sundays in May at the Labangon Elementary School Grounds.
Congressman Rama thanked Converge for partnering with him to realize his dream of hosting a softball cup in Cebu City. The legislator also hopes that this first-ever softball cup will be the start of a bigger and better sports cup for the people of Cebu.
"It's a privilege for Converge to sponsor this pioneering sports tournament to promote camaraderie and sportsmanship in Cebu City. We look forward to more partnerships that espouse community building as we contribute to bringing people together through our fiber broadband service," said Converge Regional Manager for Visayas and Mindanao Michael Maquiran.
Eight teams, namely Wirednook, Taters, Rebels, Bandits, Vikings-c10, JBR Mega Voltz, Shenica, and KA2 Apparel Asturias, will compete for the championship.
