THE MANDAUE-CEBU Landmasters/RDAK face the Air21 Express this Sunday at the Mandaue City Cultural and Sports Complex.
Gametime is set at 6:30 p.m. as the Landmasters are hoping to keep their winning run going after shocking the rest of the league by taking home the Cebu leg crown of the Liga Pilipinas V last weekend against the M. Lhuillier Kwarta Padala-Cebu Niños.
The team presented the title to Mandaue City Mayor Jonas Cortes at his office yesterday. Cortes was ecstatic at his team’s recent performance.
“Pila sad ka tuig nag-puwasa ang Mandaue and finally, naka-championship ra jud. This is really something that we can be proud of and I am hoping that ang mga kabataan, ma-inspire sila ani na feat. Wala juy imposible basta maningkamot ug maayo,” said Cortes in an interview.
Cortes added that they are looking forward to promoting the game of basketball by reviving a year-long tournament between the different barangays in the city and not just during the city fiesta.
The Landmasters will be hosting the Mandaue leg on June 8 to 11 at the Mandaue Sports Complex. /Correspondent Jonas Panerio
