NCCC Supermarket is hosting its first pickleball tournament on April 25-26 at Matina Square Pickleball in Davao City, with proceeds benefiting the House of Hope Foundation for Kids with Cancer, Inc.

For over a decade, NCCC has partnered with House of Hope, providing a “home away from home” for young cancer patients through housing, medicines, and holistic support to ensure no child fights alone.

The event features men’s and women’s doubles competitions in low and high intermediate categories, with winners receiving ₱15,000 for first place, ₱10,000 for second, ₱5,000 for third, plus medals and Joola paddles. 

 Lafayette Lim, CEO of NCCC Group of Companies, underscored that the tournament is about more than competition

“We recognize that the greatest victories don’t always happen on the court. They happen in the quiet, courageous battles fought every day by the most vulnerable members of our community,” Lim said.

Mccoy Camarote, tournament director, also noted that this tournament stands out for its deeper purpose of giving hope to kids with cancer.

“This one is different because there is a purpose, and that purpose is actually giving hope, especially to kids with cancer,” Camarote emphasized.

Lastly, Lafayette Lim reminded participants that as they step onto the court this April, their passion for pickleball becomes a powerful force, fueling hope and tomorrow’s victories for House of Hope’s brave young cancer fighters.

HOMEGROWN retail chain NCCC refuted posts about a supposedly supply shortage at its supermarket that gained traction online.

Lafayette A. Lim, NCCC Group of Companies CEO, said in a statement on Monday, Sept. 1, that the management has acknowledged the concern of the public.

“As a company that has proudly served Davao and Mindanao for more than 70 years, we want to assure the public that temporary supply challenges may occur from time to time, but these do not diminish our commitment to provide quality products and services to the community,” Lim said.

The CEO stressed that the teams are resolving the matters to continue catering to the daily needs of the customers.

“We are grateful to those who expressed genuine concern and, more importantly, to those who continue to support NCCC and other local businesses,” he said.

“Every purchase you make from homegrown enterprises sustains jobs, families, and communities here in Davao and Mindanao,” Lim added.

The CEO urged the public to support the local enterprises rather than discredit- “for the economy and communities to grow stronger together.”

“The story of NCCC is deeply tied to the story of Davao, a story of resilience, progress, and unity. With your continued trust, we remain committed to serving you for many more decades to come,” Lim stressed.

Since its founding in the 1950s, NCCC has become one of the major players in the retail industry in and out of Davao City and Davao Region.

Recently, the retail chain has gone viral on social media due to the reported lack of supply in its supermarkets.

Netizens were quick to comment that even basic needs such as soy sauce, bleach, biscuits, and canned goods are unavailable.

“My experience started with wala lage silay great taste coffee, then next wala silay zonrox, another wala mostly ilang can goods? Pinaka last tong halaaa wala silay toyo????? Wa cguro sila kabayad,” a certain Honeylyn Balbuena commented.

“Ang choice Mart diri sa amoa kuya halos wala na jud stocks tapos naga tanggal na daw silag tao,” Ermielyn Langag Blanco also commented.
