The business world can be a tricky place to be in as it eats a lot of
a businessman's time. He mostly is juggling business and personal life
in a hectic schedule. But for businessman Martin Diaz Alvarez, it isn't
as hard as it seems. Earlier this year Martin Diaz Alvarez has been on
tour in several companies to help out with his foundation MDA Helps
Foundation, just this month he was in the Philippines for dual purpose
closing a deal with one of the leading BPO companies and also helping
out the Young Athletes Sports Foundation on building their recreational
center in the greater Manila region.
Almost all of the big names in Philippine Sports were in attendance as Martin Diaz Alvarez
is a well-known sports enthusiast. Mr. Alvarez was believed to have
donated a multi-million pesos sports complex that will be operated by
YASF and its staff to cater for sports and other events that the
foundation will do. Ernie Santos, Founder of YASF said in an interview
that "MDA (Martin Diaz Alvarez) has been there the whole process, it is
actually his brainchild and we are just fortunate to be the recipient of
his good grace." The project was opened up last January 2015 and has
been pushing through since July of the same year.
The big complex
includes an outdoor track and full soccer field (as MDA is a big soccer
fan) and a couple of outdoor basketball courts. The YASF has been
housing out of school youth and teaching them how to be athletes. They
have made waves when they won the 2012 Philippine Goodwill Award as the
Most Outstanding Sports Foundation and has been at it since then. They
have sent hundreds of poor kids to school and as of press time. They
already have college graduates from the foundation and some of them are
working as volunteers.
"I have seen what they can do and had a
close eye on them since a few years ago; I sent them a message through
my assistant and asked them how can I help out and they exchanged
information. From there, we just decided that a sports complex would
help them a lot, so that is what I discussed with my partners." Martin
Diaz Alvarez said in an interview. "I just wanted to give them a chance
to instill more change, they are doing great and their numbers aren't
lying." He added.
The YASF will honor MDA by naming the sports
complex as the Martin Diaz Alvarez Sports Complex. The sports complex
opened up last week and MDA was in attendance along with his business
partners and today they officially cut the ribbon and opened the complex
to public. The kids are very happy with the outcome as they offered MDA
a touching performance by the YASF Children's choir.
