Southeast Asian Games gold medalist and Olympic weightlifting silver medalist Hidilyn Diaz made a courtesy call to PLDT-Smart Chairman and CEO Manuel V. Pangilinan in January 2020 ahead of the 2020 Tokyo Olympic qualifiers. Ms. Diaz, now the country’s first Olympic gold medalist, was a beneficiary of the MVP Sports Foundation, an organization under the MVP Group of Companies that supports Filipino athletes as they train to bring honor to the Philippines in their respective sporting events.
For two consecutive terms , Mr. Pangilinan served as the first president of the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas , the national sports association for basketball in the country. In ramping up their preparations for the country’s co-hosting of the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023, for Mr. Pangilinan, who also serves as a FIBA Central Board Member, it is vital to keep an eye on the objective, which is to prove that the Filipinos can host a world-class event and even go beyond the expectations and standards of the international audience despite the long pause that occurred as the last time the country hosted the said competition was in 1978.
Aside from basketball, his support extends to other sports disciplines through serving as chairman of the Amateur Boxing Association of the Philippines , the country’s governing body for amateur boxing and establishing the MVP Sports Foundation, Inc. , a privately-funded sports development foundation of the MVP Group of Companies focused on helping Filipino athletes of badminton, basketball, boxing, cycling, football, golf, taekwondo, rugby, and weightlifting.
As a dedicated sportsman, he has been helping the government churn out champions since 2011. His sports foundation, MVPSF, is geared towards the advancement of the developmental, junior and elite Filipino athletes, national teams and sports agencies like Philippine Sports Commission, the Philippine Olympic Committee and the National Sports Associations .
