The activity commenced right after the official weigh-in of the participating boxers for the WBO IN MABOLO - The next Prospects 2 fight card which will be held on Saturday, May 15, 2010 also at the Mabolo Sports Complex.
The Mabolo Barangay Officials lead by Barangay Captain Rey Ompoc and Sammy Gello-ani's SGG Promotions assisted in the program. Also joining in the giving of gifts were WBO Asia-Pacific titlist Rey Labao, WBO Asia-Pacific lt.flyweight titlist Bert ?The Ninja? Batawang and WBO interim world Lt.
