in Davao City, Philippines

The project responds to the need for a functional, well-maintained recreational 
space serving both Communal Elementary School and the wider Barangay Communal community.
For students, it supports physical education, school assemblies, and organized sports.
For residents, it provides a reliable venue for recreation and community activities.
In a country where basketball brings people together, the upgraded court is designed
to serve both groups equally.

The initiative builds on STARCARES’ growing global commitment to youth development
through accessible sports infrastructure. Following successful basketball court 
revitalization projects in Vietnam and Thailand, the Philippines marks the next 
step in creating spaces where youth can learn, play, and grow.

"Breaking ground on this project is just the beginning. STARCARES exists to create
lasting impact, and this court will provide thousands of students and residents 
in Buhangin with a safe, dependable place to learn, play, and come together for 
years to come."
**— Peter Karsten, CEO of STARTRADER**

"We are excited to see this project take shape. It will give our learners a safe
space to grow, be active, and build confidence while bringing our community together
during weekends. We are deeply grateful to STARTRADER and STARCARES."
**— Nelson
Sepe Lubguban Jr., Principal of Communal Elementary School**

Looking ahead, STARCARES will expand its global basketball court initiative, with
Lagos, Nigeria planned as the next redevelopment project, furthering its mission
to create safe, inclusive sports spaces that empower youth and strengthen communities
worldwide.
