John David Velez took the first of four slots offered to top campaigners in the Palawan Pawnshop-Palawan Express Pera Padala regional age-group tennis tournament after an impressive campaign in the early going of the 54-leg circuit.
A total of four players – one boy and one girl each from the 14- and 16-and-under categories – will be given three-month scholarship grants at the Macs Crankit Tennis Academy in Australia. The player must be a three-time champion in his/her category of any grouping in the PPS-PEPP tilt in Visayas and Mindanao legs.
