ICTSI supports Manila Jeepney FC

THE ICTSI Foundation Inc., the corporate social responsibility arm of International Container Terminal Services Inc., recently partnered with the Manila Jeepney Football Club as part of its support to the city’s sports programs.

“We saw the potential of a strong partnership with the City of Manila in the area of sports,” said ICTSI Foundation executive director Narlene Soriano. “The ICTSI Foundation believes in what sports could offer in providing life skills to the youth of Manila. Manila is home to ICTSI’s flagship Manila International Container Terminal and we are committed to assist government efforts in transforming communities into safe and growth havens for marginalized young persons.”

Manila Jeepney, which has launched a football development program dubbed “Lipad for Manila’s street children,” is the official football team of Manila in the United Football League.

Under the program, some 500 street children will undergo 30 free football clinics for six months starting this month up to June 2014.

ICTSI has been at the forefront of Philippine sports through its support of the Philippine Golf Tour, the Ladies Philippine Golf Tour and the Junior Golf Foundation of the Philippines.
