A confirmation of attendance was also held today at the same school.
?We would also like to thank the help and hospitality of School Principal Doleriano Cacait Jr. for also allowing our boxers to stay at the school,? said Annie Ruiz of the PSC Secretariat.
Bago City, dubbed as the ?Boxing Capital of the Philippines? has the most number of qualifiers with a total of nine followed by Victorias City with six.
