Vivo Philippines has officially sealed a new partnership deal with one
of the leading shopping mall brands in the country, Ayala Malls, during its
first mall show held last April 14, 2018 at Market! Market! in support of its newly-launched
flagship smartphone, the Vivo V9.
Making the deal completely legit were Ayala Malls Synergies Inc. (AMSI) president Rowena Tomeldan and general manager for entertainment Gabby Katigbak, Vivo Philippines brand manager Annie Kim and Capdase CEO Alex Fong. Through the newly-forged partnership, Vivo will be the official major sponsor for an upcoming sporting event to take place in our local shores soon - the Vivo Battle Hoops Championship Philippines 2018.
The Battle Hoops Championship is a 3x3 basketball event which has been
originally held in China and eventually gained traction in various Asian
countries, and it seems like the Philippines is the latest to stage this exciting
endeavor. A series of 3x3 basketball tourneys are set to take place across various
Ayala Malls nationwide in the coming months where the winners will have a
chance to take on various teams around Asia in China. Of course, Capdase has
already pledged its support and participation in the event though details on it
may have to wait for a while.
