Philippines and France hold basketball friendly
The warm friendship and camaraderie between the Philippines and France were put on display during the recent basketball friendly between team Blackwater Bossing of the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) and the French Navy’s team, Destroyer Lorraine at Paco Arena, Manila City.
The
sporting event is part of the annually celebrated year-long diplomatic tie
between the Philippines and France. “This event is part of the celebration of the
75th anniversary of diplomatic relations between France and the
Philippines. I know that this country seriously loves sports and basketball is
almost like a religion to them. So the Destroyer Lorraine came to visit us and
wanted to play some sport with one of the best teams in PBA,” said French
Ambassador Michèle Boccoz.
