BAGUIO CITY — The basketball tournament for the Cordillera Phoennix Sports Inc. (CPSI) Season VI opened on July 22 at the Easter College here with the participation of more or less 40 teams in the Baguio-Benguet area.
The tournament started with a program from 1 to 2:30 PM, followed by four games.

The activity was the sixth tournament sponsored by Phoenix, the organizer, which adopted CPSI when it was registered with the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) in April this year.

In the program, the CPSI Board of Directors explained that they registered the organization as non-stock and non-profit to ensure the continuity of the tournament, including the transparency and accountability in professionalizing the tourney.

“We could also expand the tourney to high schools and sponsor trainings and seminars to improve the league, like coaching, refereeing, and players developmnent,” explained Clifford Sy, the CPSI chairman of the Board.

The Formation, a dance troupe of Easter College, also performed to the entertainment of the crowd which was covered by local media. #
