The money is given in form of Financial assistance and Projects to the city. Funding is provided for from Senator Villar's Pork Barrel.
Players must be from the City they represent. Only 2 Ex varsity or Ex commercial players allowed per team.
Last night the Lapu lapu City Chiefs beat Danao by about 15 points. Tonight, the Lapu Lapu City Chiefs take on the Cebu City Nino's at the Lapu Lapu city basketball court at 8PM.
I will post the schedule once I get a copy of it.
It is very fun watching these teams as we cheer for our very own city sponsored teams.
