MANILA, Philippines—NBA superstar Kobe Bryant — who has visited the country numerous times — is coming back to Manila next month, a mobile phone company announced.
The Los Angeles star guard is scheduled to visit on August 12, according to Lenovo Mobile Philippines in a post on its official Facebook account.
“Kobe Bryant is coming back to Manila! Mark this date, August 12, 2013,” the post read, along with a photo of Bryant with the phrase “Walang Iwanan.”
No additional details of Bryant’s promotional tour have been provided as of this posting.
Lenovo Mobile tapped Bryant to be its endorser earlier this year to enhance the brand’s market reach in China and Southeast Asia.
Bryant was last in the country in 2011 for a Nike event and for a couple of exhibition games with fellow NBA players.
