Philippine Collegiate Championship update

The stakes are high in the 2008 Philippine Collegiate Championship games presented by SMART, PLDT, KFC and FilOil Flying V Sports. The last team standing will be hailed as the sole national champion with the distinct privilege to represent the country in collegiate international competitions like the 2009 Universiade at Serbia. Apart from these bragging rights, FilOil Flying V group of companies is giving directly to the schools represented by the winning teams the following grants to support their sports development programs: P500,000.00 to the champion, P200,000.00 to the runner-up, P100,000.00 and P50,000.00 to the third and fourth placers, respectively. On top of the above, Manny V. Pangilinan, president of Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (SBP), has volunteered to put up an additional amount of P850,000.00 to be awarded directly to the coaching staff and players of the top four teams in recognition of their extra time and effort in preparing and competing in the search for the national champion.
