THE Philippine-Burlington team’s campaign in the coming 10th Gen. Zheng Chenggong Cup on Oct.19-26 in Nanan City, Fujian Province, China received another big boost with the entry of Triple Threat NZ as one of the major sponsors.

Triple Threat NZ of Christian Ensomo and Patrick Buenaobra and Philippines-Burlington team head coach Johny Tam finalized the agreement making Triple Threat NZ as the official outfitter of the 12-man team.

“We’re happy for this support of Triple Threat NZ of Christian Ensomo and Patrick Buenaobra as the official outfitter of our 12-man team,” said Tam

The team is also being supported by PGFlex, Philippine Airlines, Bestank, Prime Luck and Victory Candles.

The 12-man Philippine Burlington-PG Flex team will be bannered by former PBA players James Martinez, Brian Ilad and Raphy Reyes, former CESAFI Rookie-MVP awardee Hernal “Wowie” Escosio, and American import Raymond Edward Miller.

“We have a lot of success in the Gen. Zheng Chenggong Cup basketball tournament, which is considered as one of the strongest international competitions in Fujian province,” said Tam, who is best remembered for leading the FedEx-Laguna Lakers to the title in 1999 and FedEx- Burlington team to the championship in 2003.

“Hopefully, we’ll do well and bring honors to the country again,” added Tam, who also thanked businessman-sportsman Alvin Tai Lian of Bestank, former Federation of School Sports Association of the Philippines (FESSAP) president David Ong, Jeffrey King of Prime Luck, Jeff Lau of Victory Candle and Philippine Airlines for their support to the team.
