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.

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.
