CEBU CITY. – KCS Computer Specialist owner Ricky Verdida has placed his franchise in the VisMin Super Cup up for sale.
He announced this not long after the team finished as runners-up in the inaugural Chooks-to-Go Pilipinas VisMin Super Cup Southern Finals after being swept by the powerhouse Jumbo Plastic-Basilan Peace Ridesin the best-of-five finals on Friday night at the Pagadian City Gymnasium.
Verdida said the financial commitment of running a team has proved to be too much to bear for him and his family.
“Hindi na kaya. Nabaon na sa utang,” explained the affable team owner, who used the P1million the team got from Chooks-to-Go to cover the team’s operational expenses. “I want to continue but at the same time, I need to take care of my family.”
Verdida added he is hopeful that someone can adopt the team soon especially with the second season of the VisMin Cup set in October.
“If there’s someone interested, it would be great so that my players can still have work,” said Verdida, who owns and operates Kiboy’s Computer Solutions.
