Longtime Commissioner Boy Tiukinhoy the Cebu Schools Athletic Foundation Inc., (CESAFI) as a ?a milestone in local basketball in Cebu and in the South. He added ?it is with great pride and privilege that we enter into a partnership with VIVA.?
The well-known businessman-sportsman whose love for the sport and a burning desire to see CESAFI grow and be part of the sporting consciousness of Filipinos particularly in the Visayas and Mindanao encouraged him and the CESAFI board to enter into an agreement for the TV coverage of the games by VIVA Sports.
On the eve of a formal press conference to formalize the agreement and to discuss the opening of the new season on August 1, the Commissioner expressed his confidence that the CESAFI-Viva partnership ?will bring the games closer to the local fans in the South and would provide nationwide exposure to the teams, players, and the schools? even as he acknowledged that ?We are happy and grateful that finally VIVA lends their expertise in this worthwhile endeavor. ?
To Commissioner Tiukinhoy Cesafi ?richly deserves this meaningful tie-up not only for being one of the longest existing inter-school leagues in the country but also for its unflinching commitment to provide Cebuanos, classic and highly entertaining hardcourt action through the years.?
He said ?It is about time that Cesafi shall be made known and accessible to the fans across the country and the outside world through its partnership with VIVA. I look forward to a long-term deal with VIVA as this breakthrough undertaking will surely be a big boost to the growth and development of the CESAFI that takes pride for being the most storied and respectable basketball league outside of Metro Manila.?
