The vivo 3×3 Basketball Challenge continued with its second leg at SM Dasmariñas, bringing a surge of excitement to the south side on July 28, 2024. With its reinforced partnership with the National Basketball Association (NBA), vivo continues to connect with basketball communities across the Philippines, attracting a large crowd of hoopers and fans who are constantly excited about the upcoming basketball challenges. This passion for basketball was evident from the impressive turnout of registrants from various parts of Cavite for the competition’s second stop with its eligibility extended to all Filipinos 19 years old and older.
Four groups from both the men’s and women’s categories clinched victory in this thrilling second leg of the basketball competition, earning their places in the eagerly awaited grand finals. From the Men’s Category, the victorious teams are Aguilas B, Stay Groovie, Bagong Cabuyao, and CJHA – B while KENGS, Generals, DAYOC and JHA are the top teams of the Women's Division. But the thrill did not end there as the winning teams squared off with one team from each category crowned as the ultimate champs of this leg. Aguilas B proved their basketball prowess in the men’s category as every exciting shot drove them closer to triumph. “Wala kaming tulog kasi excited [kami]. Masaya po yung experience [namin] sa liga na ‘to,” exclaimed Aguilas B member Jonard when asked about his team’s big win in the basketball challenge. On the other hand, KENGS dominated the women’s division and emerged as champions. With all smiles, KENGS member Maui shared, “Nagpapasalamat kami sa vivo kasi binigyan [nila] kami ng chance makapaglaro dito, lalo na yung mga babae."
Meanwhile, it’s a known fact that a basketball game is not complete without a dance performance.

With vibrant energy throughout, their performance featured dynamic movements and striking choreography, revving up all the watchers.
