PTC supports B5 Pilipinas Team as they head to the 1st Asia Cup in Kuala Lumpur

AUGUST 12, 2022


The PTC Group is proud to support the B5 Pilipinas Team as they officially represent the country in the first-ever Baseball5 Asia Cup happening in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia this August 17 to 19, 2022. The members of the B5 Pilipinas Team visited First Maritime Place on August 11 where they were warmly welcomed by the PTC Management Team.

Baseball5 (B5) is an official sport under the auspices of the Amateur Softball Association of the Philippines and Philippine Amateur Baseball Association, headed by their Presidents, Mr. Jean Henri Lhuillier and Mr. Chito Loyzaga, respectively. In their desire to grow the sports of Baseball & Softball globally, the World Baseball Softball Confederation (where both Asaphil and PABA are members) developed the game of Baseball5.

The B5 game takes its roots from the classic bat & ball game and has introduced simpler rules to allow new and seasoned players to take on the game. With only five players needed in each team to start a match, it is expected that B5 will be received well in communities all over the country.

The B5 Pilipinas team will be competing against Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Pakistan, and Hongkong, where the top three teams will qualify for the World Cup this November, hosted by Mexico City.

Go B5 Pilipinas!
