"Everybody's happy", said OFDAHK's founder Chyrill F. Nadela. "Despite the big number of players in each team, everyone had their chance in the court", she added.
Arma’s said Jomar Javillionar agreed, saying they all had fun and had their fair share of each game without being exhausted.
OFDAHK president Elmer C. Orilla said his group uses sport activities as part of their advocacy to unite and encourage fellow migrants to upgrade their skills. Apart from men’s basketball, they also organize volleyball tournaments for women.
As its name implies, OFDAHK only accepts Filipinos as members, whether they are already licensed drivers in Hong Kong or are just aspiring to be one. – contributed by Ramon Dizon, Jr.
