Recently, many netizens were entertained by the photos of some basketball players who are wearing diapers instead of jersey as their uniforms.

The post was shared on Facebook by a netizen named Kurt Justine Vicente Cudal, where he wrote, “Only in the Philippines #luyahandiaperleague #Onlyinzamboanga”

Based on his post, the basketball league was held in Luyahan, Zamboanga City. In line with the celebration of the feast in their place, the organizers decided to add some twist in the basketball game.
