Basketball is Life

Like most kids growing up in Manila, I have spent a number of afternoons playing basketball, whether in make-shift hoops or covered courts. Back then, my cousins and I used to wake up early on Saturday mornings so we can play at the Ricass courts. A little later than that would mean getting crushed by grown-ups going up and down the marked pavement.

Bacood has two covered courts - Ricass and Dalisay. Residents and mga dayo (Filipino for visitors) can also show off their game prowess in makeshift courts along Makisig St.
