DYRD All Star Game

By Manny Bautista

The ever-popular dyRD All-Star will showcase anew their wares in another out-of-town pre-fiesta exhibition match against the Catigbian ABC basketeers set on December 6 at the Catigbian hardcourt.  Game time is 6:30 p.m.

The forthcoming match-up widely popularized by Bohol's top-rated radio station's reporters, anchormen and back-up personnel is part of the nightly activities in preparation of the town's annual fiesta celebration.

Catigbian ABC Kag. Teofredo Tongco has been negotiating with dyRD's All Star mainstays Fil Layao and Jun Gutierrez to stage the pre-fiesta game.  The neighboring town of Baclayon has been eyeing the dyRD All-Star as part of its nightly entertainment during the celebration of its annual fiesta this coming December 8.

The All-Star squad mentored by lawyer/kagawad Dandan Bantugan, who is also the playing-coach will again entertain basketball fans to further bolster the team's fund-raising thrust to help our less-fortunate brothers and sisters through the pacesetting Inyong Alagad Foundation.

Recently, the team won over the Corella Selection but what matters most was the P5,000 donation to the Inyong Alagad Foundation personally handed by Mayor Vito Rapal and Vice Mayor Ondong Bolando after the action-packed match as part of the town's Foundation Day activities.  The team has been getting invitations from different LGUs to play in their respective towns and add glitter to the celebration and at the same time, help the poor in this time of crisis.
