The Unigames, a national collegiate competition founded in 1996 has been a fertile ground for discovering talents, some of them shoo-ins of the different national teams sent to compete overseas.
The Unigames organizing committee from the University of San Agustin sees the Unigames as a way to flaunt the rapid economic gains of Iloilo City as it is anticipated that thousands from other regions are coming to watch the annual collegiate games here. (via PNA)
