FIBA 3×3 remains committed to Chooks-to-Go PH 3×3


FIBA 3×3 lauded Chooks-to-Go Pilipinas 3×3 for continuing to compete in the 2021 pro circuit.

For FIBA 3×3 managing director Alex Sanchez, the participation of Manila Chooks TM shows the commitment of Chooks-to-Go Pilipinas 3×3 in growing the halfcourt game in the country.

“I think we should be very grateful to Chooks-to-Go for insisting and continuing its effort to help 3×3 in the Philippines,” said Sanchez. “We always thought and believed that the Philippines is a great opportunity and market for 3×3.

“Therefore, we can only be grateful for this continuous effort in these difficult times where we know the pandemic is hitting the Philippines hard.”

Since the pandemic broke out, Chooks-to-Go Pilipinas 3×3 has sent teams to four FIBA 3×3 World Tour Masters tournaments.

Back in November 2020, Manila Chooks TM competed in the Doha Masters.

Though the results fell short of expectations, Sanchez understands that the program is in a rebuild.

“Well, I think that we have proven that we believe in Chooks-to-Go,” he said. “We invited you to several events during these 18 months of pandemic and you are here with us in Abu Dhabi.

“Unfortunately, it did not perform as expected. We hope that when it’s allowed to continue training, Chooks-to-Go can send strong teams. From that perspective, we believe in what you are doing. We hope that by the end of this pandemic, Chooks-to-Go will come back stronger like in the past. We will continue to support you,” he expressed.

Besides sending a team to Abu Dhabi, Chooks-to-Go Pilipinas 3×3 also renewed its ties with FIBA 3×3. Sanchez met with the company’s sports and marketing head Mel Macasaquit.

During the meeting, FIBA 3×3 shared that once the conditions clear, they will be back in Manila to strengthen their ties with the league.

“We were close to having a 2020 Manila Masters. The issue is the current pandemic. We had a nice venue chosen together,” lamented the Spanish sports official.

“I’m optimistic that in 2022, we will be having more events together.”
