MANILA, Philippines - Team Antipolo-A bested a strong field and emerged on top in six events to capture the grand championship in the annual Great ARClympics at the Marist School in Marikina recently.

The Antipolo-A Giants topped women’s volleyball, badminton doubles (male and female) and badminton mixed doubles and table tennis singles (female) and doubles (male) to dominate the field in the annual sportsfest among the Asiawide Refreshments Corporation (ARC) workforce from the company’s various warehouses, plants and corporate offices in Luzon.
