EARLY birds Davao City and Digos as well as host General Santos City are among the early favorites to win in the two-day Mindanao Preliminary of the PSC-Pacquiao Amateur Boxing Cup set on Dec. 16-17 at the Robinson?s Place in General Santos City.

?We?re still waiting for Cagayan de Oro City and the other teams,? said supervising technical director Rogelio Fortaleza.

Panabo City was earlier invited but the invitation letter was not received by the multi-titled Barangay Una team of Rep. Tony Boy Floirendo.

Davao City had earlier wanted to have two teams with the other one coming from Barangay Calinan.

Team Gensan under coach Titing Laurente is considered as one the early favorites in the two-day event sponsored and organized by the Philippine Sports Commission in coordination with Sen. Manny Pacquiao.

PSC Chairman William ?Butch? Ramirez is the guest speaker in today?s opening program at 12 noon. Also gracing are Mayor Ronnel Rivera and Councilor Bobby Pacquiao, chairman of the Gensan SP Committee on Youth, Sports and Physical Fitness.
Gensan will be bannered by two-time Batang Pinoy champion and 2016 Philippine National Games gold medalist RV Denega and 2015 Batang Pinoy champion Shirllyngil Napoles (girl?s 54 kg.).
