"The House Of Kobe"
___
Built in Valenzuela, the facility opened its doors on Sunday 1/26/2020, hours just before Kobe's sudden passing.
_
Locals had hoped that Bryant would one day step into what they called the house that Kobe built -- a court adorned with wall-sized murals of the great legend.. 😔

Now, the facility can be served as a tribute to Kobe's legacy and his impact all over the Philippines and the rest of the world. 💛💜

"In fields of battle, deliriously fighting,
Others give you their lives, without doubt, without regret;
Where there’s cypress, laurel or lily,
On a plank or open field, in combat or cruel martyrdom,
If the home or country asks, it's all the same--it matters not."
- a verse written by Jose Rizal before his excecution in 1986.
