Blackbeard’s Seafood Island launches 2 sports programs

   Magdaluyo explained that under the “Batang Tri Grassroots” program, they will raise funds to purchase 100 road bikes and provide grants in terms of equipment, clothing, race fees, accommodation, food, training and travel needs of young, poor, aspiring triathletes.

  “Anyone can help the program by purchasing a Jomac Boodle for P1,450 where P300 will be given to the young aspiring triathletes to achieve their dream,” Magdaluyo said.

   BSI created the original boodle feast, later named Jomac Boodle in its tie-up with international triathlon coach Jojo “Jomac” Macalintal. Macalintal is honorary coach of BSI’s triathlon team “Every Second Counts”.

   Gov. Albert Raymond Garcia thanked Seafood Island for putting up a branch in Balanga City and of its plan to put up three more branches in the province.

   “The triathlon which will be a yearly event, will further promote Bataan especially in sports tourism,” the governor said. Garcia lauded the restaurant for giving attention to poor young people. “They will be inspired and start young as tri athletes,” he said.

   Magdaluyo said BSI will be celebrating its 10th year of founding on September 16, 2014. “We have 28 stores in major cities all over the country where everyone can have seafood bonding,” he said

   Their branch in Balanga City is located at the ground floor of the five-storey Plaza Hotel building, adjacent to the Plaza Mayor de Balanga.
