“With this first Bato Cup, we hope to give our share in national efforts to further encourage interest in table tennis as a sport among our youth and thus help them steer them away against illegal drugs and other nefarious activities that may ruin their lives and rob them of a brighter future,” pahayag ni Police Director General Chief PNP Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa.
Suportado rin ang tatlong araw ng kompetisyon ng PSSLAI, Emperador, Trust Trade, PRO Regional Directors at PNP Finance Service.
