The barangay will also be using a brand new electronic game clock and score board. Salvador, who is also the tournament commissioner, said they will also repaint the gym, including the playing court.
The champion team will pocket P20,000 while the first runner-up will get P15,000. The second and third runners-up will earn P10,000 and P5,000, respectively. Trophies will also be awarded.
