GENERAL SANTOS CITY – The ‘Stallions’ of Malungon anchored its way to the top after crushing down Maitum’s finest in the newly held basketball open which highlighted the 1st Rep. Manny Pacquiao SarGen Sports Fest at Pacman SPORTS Stadium here in the city.

Aside from the well-played open and enter-government basketball categories, other included games during the event are boxing, volleyball, table tennis, lawn tennis, chess, darts and marksmanship.
“I am certain that the Congressman sponsored these activities in an aim to foster solidarity, unity and friendship among government employees, not only within the seven municipalities of the province but likewise to its nearby city of General Santos and the Liga ng mga Barangays,” Constantino added.
Pacquiao, amid awarding of prizes at Veranza Mall on Saturday, said he is once again eyeing for a much bigger and more ‘perfect’ event to hold in the upcoming days in a bid to to continuously endorse what he have started. “Because I believe that it is not only because of what we got in terms of prizes that we are enjoying today, but of the sportsmanship and unity that we have shared while in course to victory. That is why no team will go home ‘empty’ today because we deserve to be happy,” said Pacquiao in a vernacular.
