more exciting as we’ve expanded participation to include children
14 to 16 years old,” said Jena Fetalino of the organizing Mosman
Communications in the weekly PSA Forum at the Shakey’s UN Avenue
branch.
The tournament will also offer more freebies,
special product offers and surprise activities for the whole

Mosman Communications launched Mosman Cup last
year as part of its advocacy in promoting good health among
Filipinos, especially children.
Last year, Mosman Cup drew about 800
participants comprising 57 teams.
