Sports Foundation Manuel V. Pangilinan came into the small studio at Cignal TV to have an almost no-holds-barred conversation on “Thought Leaders” about his views on how sports, particularly basketball, can play a huge part in nation-building.
“I think sports evoke very deep and emotional sentiments on my part, whether it’s collegiate basketball or Gilas Pilipinas. It’s an entirely different feeling when you see the Philippine flag unfurling on the world stage,” Pangilinan said. Aside from supporting Gilas and other national teams, the MVP group also supports three basketball teams and two volleyball organizations in professional leagues. In fact, the teams under the TNT Tropang Giga banner won three championships this year: 2023 3×3 Grand Slam Champion, 2023 PBA Governors’ Cup Champion, and the inaugural PBA Esports Bakbakan Champion.
MVP also recognized the important role that the private sector plays in sports development. “For a developing country like us, my impression is that it is private sector-led, but obviously, government support is needed. It could be a model for a public-private partnership,” he said.
