Filipinos mark 1 year without Kobe and Gianna Bryant

Filipinos on Tuesday marked one year since the death of American basketball star Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna.

In Taguig, southeast of Manila, a giant mural covered the courtyard of a housing community.

And in Valenzuela City, Metro Manila, a ceremony took place at a basketball facility dubbed ‘House of Kobe’ where art works celebrating the pair decorated both inside and outside the building.

Bryant and his 13-year-old daughter were killed along with seven others in a helicopter crash in Calabasas, California, United States, on Jan. 26, 2020.
