THE Municipality of Pateros is celebrating a wave of athletic momentum, highlighted by the men’s basketball team’s stunning elimination sweep and vibrant local youth sports programs championed by municipal leaders.
The Pateros Wild Ducks Men’s Basketball Team recently demonstrated exceptional skill and resilience by defeating the Parañaque Navy, 105–97, on Saturday to cap off the elimination round with a flawless undefeated record.
After a tightly contested match through the first three quarters, the Wild Ducks leaned on composure and determination to pull away in the final period.
Star guard Rickson Gerero powered the squad once more, claiming Best Player of the Game honors for the fourth consecutive time across four matches.
Head Coach Pablo Lucas attributes the team’s ongoing success to disciplined teamwork and competitive drive.
The Wild Ducks compete in the SBG Cup Season under the supervision of the NSCOA, earning enthusiastic support from Mayor Gerald German and Sports Development Officer Bojic Raymundo.
While the elite squad dominates the regional stage, grassroots sports are simultaneously flourishing at home.
The Inter-Barangay 2026 Basketball and Volleyball competitions have put the talent and sportsmanship of Pateros youth aged 21 and under on full display.
Designed to foster respect, barangay unity, and healthy habits, the program provides aspiring athletes a platform to sharpen their potential.
This multi-tiered sports initiative is spearheaded by Mayor German, alongside Vice Mayor Carlo Santos, SDO Erickson Bojic Raymundo, Local Youth Development Officer Ryan Millares, Councilor Allan Dela Cruz, Barangay Affairs Coordinator Napoleon Dionisio, and SK Federation President Vhon Ventura.
Through robust investments in both competitive athletics and grassroots youth development, the Pateros Municipal Government continues to cultivate community pride.
Residents are encouraged to rally behind their local athletes as they pursue greater triumphs on and off the court.
