The Philippines has never lacked basketball talent. Across different cities and communities, there are countless young athletes dreaming of making it big someday. But as PBA legend and TNT Tropang 5G team manager Jojo Lastimosa continues to believe, talent alone is not always enough. Sometimes, what young players need most is opportunity, support, and people who believe in their potential.
Since launching the Jolas Cup back in 2004, Lastimosa has remained committed to supporting grassroots basketball and creating opportunities for the youth through sports. This year, that mission became even more meaningful as PLDT Home joined in supporting Jolas Cup 2026 in Cagayan de Oro — helping bring not only competition, but also connection, visibility, and encouragement for the next generation of athletes.
