-

Combining the Filipino passion for basketball and the Taiwanese drive for innovation, the first-ever Taiwan Excellence Basketball Camp recently filled the Mall of Asia Music Hall with an intense 3-on-3 Hoop Challenge, top-notch innovation­s from Taiwan Excellence, and PBA stars.

A partnershi­p between Taiwan Excellence and legendary PBA star coach Eric Altamirano, the two-day camp aimed to promote sportsmans­hip as it brought together some of the Metro’s most promising basketball players while highlighti­ng the incredible products awarded with the Taiwan Excellence Seal.

“Taiwan Excellence Basketball Camp is an exemplary showcase of excellence from both countries: the fighting spirit of the Filipinos further empowered by the products of Taiwan,” said Alfred Wang, director of the economic division of Taipei Economic and Cultural Office (TECO).

Boasting participat­ion of 192 amateur Pinoy ballers, the camp put their skills to the test in a rigorous 3-on-3 matches while three PBA stars are on the sidelines showing support.

Alongside Coach E of Alaska Aces, local court heroes JC Intal and Doug Kramer of Phoenix Fuel Masters also gave their support to the budding ballers.

Also integral to the whole Taiwan Excellence Basketball Camp setup is the Taiwan Excellence Experience Zone which exhibits the top-of-the-line products of Taiwan.

With products from tech giant Asus, fitness company Johnson, and bike manufactur­er Tern, among others, the Taiwan Excellence Zone got everyone up close and personal with products made in Taiwan.
