Robinsons Retail has renewed its 15-year sponsorship of the University of the Philippines Men’s Basketball Team (UP-MBT), reinforcing a commitment to fostering athletic excellence and community spirit that has spanned over a decade and a half.
Robinsons Retail’s journey with the UP-MBT began in 2010.
Winning partnership
In its first year, the team posted a record of zero wins and 14 losses. And because life loves a good sense of humor, they did it again in 2013 with another 0-14 season.
But did we give up? Absolutely not! We understood that great comebacks start with tough beginnings, and we stood by the UP-MBT through every loss, believing that brighter days were ahead.
Over the past 15 years, the sponsorship has been able to provide needed support toward helping enhance the team’s training and overall performance.
Present to launch the renewed sponsorship on September 4 at the Executive House in UP Diliman were UP President Angelo Jimenez, nowheretogobutUP (ntgbUP) founders Renan Dalisay and Agaton Uvero, ntgbUP Chairman Jed Eva, UP Office for Athletics and Sports Development Director Bo Perasol, UP-MBT Coach Goldwin Monteverde, Robinsons Retail COO Stanley Co, and Robinsons Retail President and CEO Robina Gokongwei-Pe.
