A dozen teams will compete for a whopping P500,000 worth of cash prizes in this annual cage fest.
For several years, Moalboal has been actively pushing for a broader sports program.
Besides basketball, the town, known for its pristine white-sand beaches, the ‘sardines run’, and diving spots, organized several sports programs for its youth.
Last year, it highlighted its sports and academic program, catering to more than a hundred youngsters who took part in various sports and academic workshops.
This time, it will have a top-notch basketball league with Group A to be played by Argao, Aloguinsan, Malabuyoc, Badian, Dumanjug, and Ronda.
Meanwhile, Group B will have Sibonga, Samboan, Barili, Dalaguete, Boljoon, and Alcantara.

March 10 will feature Malabuyoc versus Badian for Group A and Sibonga versus Boljoon for Group B. Games also start at 6:45 p.m.
The champion of this tournament will pocket P200,000, while the runner-up takes home P150,000.
The third and fourth placers will receive P100,000 and P50,000, respectively.
Last year, Moalboal also hosted the 1st Mayor Inocentes Cabaron Inter-Collegiate Invitational Tournament.
After the basketball tournament, Moalboal, which celebrates its fiesta every May 19th, also held a chess seminar, simul, and tournaments for kids and residents. It also organized tournaments for arnis, dayon-dayon volleyball, and Mobile Legends.
