Kabacan hosts PPS Mindanao leg

Action in the Mindanao stage of the Palawan Pawnshop Palawan Express Pera Padala circuit resumes in Kabacan, Cotabato, today with new faces out to grab the spotlight.

Earl Bermudez and Bruce Hurtado are the names to beat in the boys’ singles 18-and-under class of the tournament that will be played at Kabacan Tennis Club.

Princess Haro will banner the girls’ side of the premier division of the Group 2 tournament.

A free clinic will also be held for participants as part of the PPS-PEPP’s commitment to help develop the sport in the countryside and at the same time sustain the circuit’s talent search program.

“There’s a lot of potentials waiting to be tapped, especially in the countryside and the PPS-PEPP circuit will provide them the proper venue to hone their talent and skills,” said Palawan Pawnshop president/CEO Bobby Castro.

Ysay Ysulat, Joyce Saldivar, May Torrecareon and Haro, meanwhile, lead the girls’ 16-U field with Reyman Saldivar Jr., Geoross Manuel, JB Comendador and Brent Magno looming as the players to watch in the boys’ section of the same age group.
