Jr. NBA/Jr. WNBA Philippines is not just about playing
basketball and winning, it’s also about heart.
Dozens of children battling different heart illnesses
received stuffed toys and a lot of Holiday cheer from Jr. NBA/Jr. WNBA
Philippines presented by Alaska this Christmas when Jarrell Lim, Jr. NBA
Philippines All-Star and Alaska Goodwill Ambassador 2011 and Jr. NBA Coach
Ruben Lanot visited the Pediatric Ward of Philippine Heart Center this
December. Apart from the gifts, the UP
Fighting Maroon guard and Coach Ruben encouraged the kids to continue their
battle against their various conditions and played with them in their newly
opened Play It Forward Play Space. Dr.
Ina Bunyi, Section Chief, Pediatric Cardiac Rehabilitation of the Philippine
Heart Center and her staff thanked the Jr. NBA Philippines representatives for
coming and cheering up the young patients. “The toys and your words of
encouragement made these young heart patients happy. You have set them on the
road to recovery,” she said. Above, Jarrell Lim (left) and Coach Ruben Lanot

Hope to see you on the next search of from Jr. NBA/Jr.
WNBA Philippines.
