THE Phoenix Fuel Masters showed their solidarity with Marawi troops when they visited injured soldiers at the AFP Medical Center in Quezon City on Sept. 2.
The basketball team met the modern-day heroes to give tribute to their patriotism and bravery in protecting the country and its people. Special gifts such as the “Phoenix Supports Our Troops” t-shirts, jerseys, and basketballs were given to the soldiers.
The Phoenix Fuel Masters previously showed their support to the soldiers during their PBA Governors’ Cup debut against KIA on July 19, when each of them wore a patch on the left side of their jerseys with the words “SUPPORT OUR TROOPS.”
Phoenix Petroleum Philippines Inc., the company behind the Fuel Masters, in July 2017 committed support for the soldiers of Marawi City and their families, by allocating P100 million to create the LIFE fund. It is envisioned to help the beneficiaries secure sustainable Livelihoods, achieve Independence, sustain their Families, and provide Education to their children.
