BOGO INTER-BARANGAY BASKETBALL LEAGUE – MAYOR CARLO’S PET PROGRAM
Sometime in June 2016, I was privileged to have a casual conversation with
the newly elected Mayor of Bogo City, Atty Carlo Jose A. Martinez while waiting
for Mayor Junie Martinez at their residence in Taytayan, Bogo City, Cebu.
Mayor Carlo, being a basketball enthusiast told me
that he dreamed of holding an Inter Barangay Basketball League in the City of
Bogo that will culminate during fieasta season every month of May. He wanted to
give to the young people of Bogo something to look forward to and make
themselves busy on their free time. He
wanted to make sure that all 29 barangays of Bogo will create their team and
join the league. He even want it to be a regular event every year.
Matud pa niya
nga makahatag gyud kinig kalingawan dili lang sa mga batan-on kondili sa mga
lumulupyo sa Bogo in general. Makatabang pa gayud kini nga malikay ang mga
batan-on sa droga ug mga bisyo kay malingaw naman unya silag duwa ug sa pangandam alang sa ilang mga duwa.
Pinaagi sab kuno niini, daku pud chance ang Bogo nga modaug ug mo top sa mga sports
events sa probinsya o sa rehiyon. Kadtong mga batan-on nga maningkamot nga
mahimong maayong laking mga players, makatabang ni sa ilaha nga makalampus sila
sa ilang pangtungha sa kolihiyo pinaagi sa scholarship grants nga mahatag sa
mga universities tungod sa ilang pagka Basketball player.
Since last August he made the necessary preparations to ensure the
holding of this event (and of other sports events also). He also commissioned
Hon. Noel Seno, Sangguniang Panglunsod Chairman on Sports to prepare, draft and
suggest the ground rules as well as people that will help in holding the league.
Mayor Carlo is looking forward to start the league before year 2016 ends.
So as long as everything is in order, he will then set the date for the opening
of the league.
Padayon Bogo, padayon!
