According to Bounty Agro Ventures, Inc. (BAVI) president and general manager of Chooks-to-Go, Ronald Mascariñas, they will support the pre-season games and trainings as well as the entire campaign of the UP Fighting Maroons in the 79th UAAP season. This involves full merchandising, meal provisions, life-coaching, and personal development of the team and staff as we encourage the players to be shining examples of true sportsmanship, on and off the court.

During a press launch of the UP Fighting Maroons and Chooks-to-Go, Dan Palami UP’s team manager claimed that the UP Fighting Maroons led by veterans Jet Manuel, Kyles Lao and Henry Asilum will aim for a final four spot in the upcoming UAAP tournament against the perennial powerhouse teams La Salle, Ateneo, UST and FEU to name a few.

Alongside Mascariñas were BAVI assistant vice president for North Luzon operations and team liaison Paul Tiangco and brand supervisor Jose Montes—all of who are alumni of the state-owned university, which made the partnership even more significant for both parties.

During the last UAAP Men’s Basketball competition, the UP Fighting Maroons ended the season with a 3-11 win-loss record and ranked at the 7th spot among eight teams.

With a strong partnership and an even better start to the upcoming games, expect an empowered squad of basketball players guided by the values of sportsmanship—as together with Chooks-to-Go, the UP Fighting Maroons are off to face their UAAP Season 79 campaign with a loud bang.
