Taoyuan, Nov. 1 (CNA) One of Taiwan's most renowned Filipino migrant worker basketball leagues opened Sunday, attracting hundreds of people to a park in Taoyuan City's Chungli District to watch the opening ceremony and the first six games.

Some 400 people gathered at the park to witness the opening of the Chungli Basketball League (CBL) Commercial Winter League, which, now in its sixth season, had a member of the Filipino LGBT community take on the role of a team's muse for the first time.

In Filipino basketball culture, muses are usually females who whip up support for their teams at tournament openings.

The City basketball team, made up of a team of players all employed at the same factory in Taoyuan, invited their fellow colleague Steve Ian M. Isaga, 26, to be their muse.
