ABOUT
"Whenever I'm in the gym full of my Filipino brother's, I feel at home"
Regina Pinoy knows that our strength lies not only in the words we stand by, but most importantly through the actions of our initiatives. Back in 2010, our Non-Profit Organization realized that by working together we could overcome our challenges much more efficiently, and that is why we ultimately decided to launch Regina Pinoy.
In August 2010, with the rapid increase in the number of Filipinos arriving in Regina, SK the group has decided to start an All Filipino basketball league with a purpose of meeting more newcomers while playing the most popular sport in the Philippines. I was very excited to play in RFSI 1st All Filipino Men’s Basketball league consisting of 6 teams, supported by former Philippine Association of Saskatchewan (PAS) president Sonny de Paz, organized by Nick, Nino, Kuya Cesar, Jeff, Adrian, Makoy, Jhun, and Mike plus with the help of families and friends. I still smile every time I remember the gym filled with people cheering for their teams mostly friends and family members. The next leagues also became more exciting when out of town teams from Saskatoon and Weyburn played in 2011 and 2012.
With the help of longtime friends, Team Captain Soniel Andrada, Joe Bacalso, Dennis dela Cruz, Nigel Tan, Kit Ocampo, Cesar Dela Cruz and many more, RFSI organization continuous to grow with an average of more than 11 All Filipino teams participating each league from January to March (winter) and August to October (summer) being held at the Regina Christian School gym and Laval HS gym.
