DAVAO CITY, Philippines, Aug. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — STARCARES, the community impact
initiative of STARTRADER, has completed the redevelopment of the basketball court
at Communal Elementary School in Buhangin, Davao City, Philippines. Now open and

Communal.

For students, the court offers a dependable space to learn and play, doubling as
the venue for graduations, award ceremonies, and school assemblies. For the wider
community, it becomes a gathering place for meetings, celebrations and youth activities
once classes end, reflecting how central basketball is to daily life in Buhangin.

"Before, we held graduations, school activities and community gatherings on a cracked,
uneven court. Today, our students have a safe and proper space to learn, play and
celebrate, while the wider community has a place that can bring people together."
—
Nelson Sepe Lubguban Jr., Principal of Communal Elementary School

STARCARES designed the redevelopment around long-term community use, ensuring the
investment extends beyond construction as a practical resource for students, families
and the wider Buhangin community.

"A court becomes powerful when it gives young people somewhere to show up, be seen,
and grow stronger together. That is the impact we wanted to create."
— Peter Karsten,
Chief Executive Officer of STARTRADER.

The Davao project extends STARCARES’ work revitalising community infrastructure,
following similar initiatives in Vietnam, Thailand and Nigeria, and reflects STARTRADER’s
commitment to supporting the communities it operates in, beyond its work in financial
markets.

Under ‘Where Tomorrow’s STARS Begin’, STARCARES will continue identifying communities
where practical infrastructure can create lasting everyday value.
