The unity and great interaction among member organizations of the Filipino community in Dubai and the Northern Emirates, was once again being displayed during the Intercity Basketball League, the third series of the Congen’s Cup, organized by The Philippine Consulate General (PCG) Dubai and the League of Filipino Gentlemen in Dubai (LFGD).
Hundreds recently flocked at the Second December School Auditorium, in Al Twar to watch 16 teams battle in the hardcourt.
“It just shows to prove that when the Filipinos gather in any endeavor, they can achieve things that other people cannot,” Philippine Consul General Paul Raymund Cortes told The Filipino Times.
The basketball tourney is the third of the three-part sports series of the Consulate and LFGD. The first edition was in September 2016, which featured bowling, chess, and billiards, followed by the second one last February, featuring badminton, darts and table tennis. (Photos: Kabayan Kamera Klub)
