MAYOR Nicholas Yulo lauded the recent victory of the Bago City Junior League Softball in the 2022 World Series in the United States.
Yulo said in a statement Monday, August 8, that the City Government and the rest of the locality are beaming with pride as Team Asia-Pacific, represented by the Junior League Softball, won third place in the 2022 Junior League Softball World Series held in Kirkland in Washington State.
"I personally would like to congratulate our softball girls and their coaches for their hard work, dedication, and perseverance in bringing honor not only to Bago City but to the entire nation as well," he said.
Yulo also acknowledges the players' parents for encouraging their children and the Filipino community in the United States of America for taking good care of the athletes, which boosted their morale and fighting spirit to hit a "home run."
The mayor added that a heroes' welcome awaits them when they arrive back home. (PR)
