Former Philippine Basketball Association superstars Ronnie Magsanoc, Benjie Paras, and Jerry Codiñera were in Brgy. Taloc, Bago City yesterday to lead the unveiling of the “Court of Inspiration” constructed by local folk in partnership with a corporate sponsor.

The three PBA legends also played a three-on-three game with the selected players in the area in the newly-constructed half court facility.

Magsanoc, now assistant coach to the Meralco Bolts in the PBA and head coach of the San Beda Red Lions in the NCAA, said he accepted the invitation to be part of the “Court of Inspiration” project of Alaxan FR as he sees it as an opportunity to motivate young players to achieve their dream.
