To most kids, summer is the time of the year to play non-stop computer games, watch unlimited shows on TV, and enjoy staying up on the wee hours of the night before school year starts. But in Arista Place, the kids have other things in mind.
Arista Place Homeowners Florence Subido and husband Henry Subido, has thought of using the kids’ summer energy into something that will benefit them in the future. With this in mind, she and her husband came up with a Basketball Camp right in their own community.
Open to all kids of Arista Place aged 6 and up, the Basketball Camp encouraged kids to hone their talents in the said sport. And hone they did, with Mr. Subido as head coach, who was helped by Joel Palapal, a friend coach from a High School Basketball team, these kids got fueled and pumped up every training.

At the end of the camp, a Recognition and Graduation Ceremony was held to appreciate the hardwork and participation of all the kids who joined. Led by the couple Subido, Palapal, and assisted by DMCI Homes Marketing team, the ceremony successfully took place in Arista Place Function Hall last May 21.

After the ceremonies, kids got fired up with fun games — and more basketball of course!
