Aray Natin, Galing Natin Butuan!
Driven by the desire to provide their community
with its first real basketball court, locals from Barangay Ampayon in Butuan are brought together to build their
own “Court of Inspiration” under the Aray Natin, Galing Natin campaign- a
collaborative effort between small-town locals and Alaxan FR to construct these
symbols of community and turn them into something that moves people to aim for
greatness.

“Maganda rin ‘to lalo na sa kabataan, para
malayo sila sa mga bisyo” (This is also good for the youth, that they may be
steered away from vices) says Bgy. Captain Samuel Allan Amante, who led his people into volunteering. Drug use is
currently high among teens in Bgy. Ampayon, and the local government see the
project as a means of sending the youth into the right direction.
Barangay Ampayon is just one of the many places that Alaxan FR is eyeing for the
construction of Courts of
Inspiration. For Visayas, the first basketball court was unveiled
recently in Iloilo. Soon to rise are courts in Bacolod, Dumaguete, Tacloban,
and Cebu. In Mindanao, construction will begin shortly in the communities of
Davao, Cagayan de Oro, Zamboanga and Saranggani.
Through these projects, the
campaign aims to give members of communities in different parts of our country
pride in having personally built something that doesn’t just hone their skills,
but builds their character as well.
“I was impressed at
people’s willingness to jump at the opportunity to serve their community at our
project in Butuan and I believe I’d witness the same level of enthusiasm in the
communities where succeeding Courts of Inspiration are to be built,” says
Kristine Martinez, Alaxan FR Product Director.
