Go For Gold eyes Guinness Record

MANILA, Philippines — At least 10,000 dribblers will gather at the MOA Concert Grounds in Pasay City today in an attempt by Go For Gold Philippines to break the Guinness World Record for the most number of people dribbling simultaneously.

Go For Gold godfather Jeremy Go announced their attempt to go to the Guinness book is set at 4 p.m.

“Being a SEA Games year, we want to be able to encourage a lot of Filipinos to be active in supporting sports and our national athletes,” said Go.

Participants can register at www. goforgoldworldrecordattempt.com or proceed directly to the venue to get a free jersey and basketball courtesy of Go For Gold. Registration begins at 2 p.m.

“Also in line with our motto ‘Basta Pilipino Ginto,’ where we believe that the Filipino deserves the best, we want to have an international record that we can be proud of,” said Go, the vice president for marketing of Powerball Marketing and Logistics Corp., the prime mover behind the Go For Gold project.

Supporting the objective is the International Basketball Federation or Fiba, which formed a partnership with Go For Gold to encourage more Filipinos to support the Gilas Pilipinas men’s basketball team in the coming FIBA World Cup in China.
