vivo Philippines officially opens registration for the vivo 3×3 Basketball Challenge Year 4, inviting aspiring players from across Luzon to step onto the court and compete in one of the country’s most exciting basketball tournaments. Open to Filipino citizens aged 19 years old and above, the competition features both the Men’s Division and the Women’s Division with each team composed of three to four members. From neighborhood sharpshooters to seasoned league regulars, teams can now register exclusively online through https://bit.ly/vivo3x3Year4.
As the official smartphone partner of the National Basketball Association (NBA), vivo continues to champion initiatives that inspire active lifestyles while bringing communities together through sport. “Basketball has always been more than a game in the Philippines. It brings people together, encourages active lifestyles, and creates opportunities for young athletes to shine. As the official smartphone partner of the NBA, vivo is proud to champion initiatives like the vivo 3×3 Basketball Challenge Year 4 that empower communities through sport and promote a healthier way of living,” said vivo Philippines Brand Marketing Director Liu Lu. This year’s tournament will roll out across four regional qualifying stops, creating a fast-paced road to the championship round. These will take place throughout vivo's series of Mall Tour activations at Market! Market! on May 31, Ayala Malls Feliz on June 19, SM City Clark on June 27, and SM City Fairview on July 4. The top-performing teams from each stop will secure their place in the grand finals at SM Mall of Asia on July 11-12 where the best of Luzon will compete for the title. At each stop, eight teams will be divided into two groups and compete in a single round-robin format. The top two teams from each group will advance to the knockout stage, while the top four teams automatically qualify for the grand finals. More than a tournament, vivo 3×3 has become a platform for athletes to test their limits, represent their communities, and turn ordinary weekend games into something larger than the scoreboard. It’s where local courts become launchpads. To aspiring basketball players: gather your team, lock in your slot, and bring your best. The road to the vivo 3×3 Basketball Challenge Year 4 championship starts now.
Meanwhile, vivo Philippines is opening new opportunities for university students across the National Capital Region (NCR) through its Campus Ambassador Program Search. Designed to give students hands-on learning beyond the classroom, the program introduces GEN V, a student-led ambassador community under vivo Club. “Through this program, students gain practical industry experience while still in school, giving them a head start in building confidence, leadership skills, and future career opportunities,” said Lu. The vivo Campus Ambassador Program offers a unique experience for university students who are ready to explore leadership, creativity, and real-world marketing in a global brand environment. Selected GEN V ambassadors will undergo mentorship and training led by vivo Philippines marketing professionals, covering key areas such as branding, digital marketing, campaign execution, and communication. They will receive a monthly cash incentive of Php5,000 for 12 months along with opportunities to attend vivo Philippines product launches and major brand events, giving them firsthand exposure to industry practices and live marketing activations. The program may also open career development opportunities where outstanding participants may be considered for internship or employment pathways with vivo Philippines after graduation. Select participants may also have access to global learning opportunities, including possible international exposure or exchange programs, subject to availability.

The vivo Campus Ambassador Program is open to college students currently enrolled in universities and colleges within the National Capital Region (NCR), particularly those from first to third year levels who are confident, expressive, and ready to take on leadership and brand representation roles. The auditions will be conducted through a series of vivo Mall Tour activations across key locations in NCR including Market! Market! on May 31, Ayala Malls Feliz on June 19, and SM City Fairview on July 4. Interested students may visit the official vivo Philippines website for full details on the audition process. They may also register on-site during any vivo mall tour activation. To join the screening, students must come in their school uniform and complete the official registration process. They are also required to present valid documents including a student ID, Certificate of Registration for the current semester, and a government-issued ID. During the initial screening, applicants will introduce themselves, share why they want to join the program, and take part in a short creative presentation or portfolio showcase. Selected candidates from each mall tour stop will move on to the next stages of the competition, including further evaluation, online voting, and final presentations. The finals and awarding ceremony will take place at SM Mall of Asia on July 12, 2026.
As vivo Philippines opens the search for its first GEN V ambassadors, the program positions itself as more than a campus role. It is a structured entry point into leadership, marketing, and real-world brand building experience while still in school. For students across NCR, kickoff is both an invitation and a starting point, a chance to explore what they can become while still in the middle of their academic journey.
