MANILA, PHILIPPINES – Basketball fans will soon have a rare opportunity to see two standout point guards share one stage as vivo Philippines hosts an exclusive meet-and-greet featuring Memphis Grizzlies guard Scotty Pippen Jr. and PBA Most Valuable Player and Gilas Pilipinas standout Scottie Thompson.
Set to take place on July 30 from 5 pm to 6 pm at the vivo Concept Store in SM Megamall, the event marks the first time vivo Philippines is hosting a fan meet-and-greet that brings together an NBA player and a PBA star in a single event.
Fans can look forward to an afternoon of basketball stories, on-stage conversations, fan interactions, and exclusive opportunities to meet both players.
“Basketball has always been one of the strongest passions shared by Filipinos, and we’re excited to bring together two athletes whose journeys resonate with fans in different ways,” said Liu Lu, Brand Marketing Director of vivo Philippines.
“This event is about giving fans a chance to connect with the game they love through meaningful experiences while celebrating the spirit of basketball that unites communities around the world,” she added.
To make the event even more accessible, vivo Philippines is giving fans a chance to win exclusive access to the meet-and-greet.
