How was your first experience playing for La Salle during the off-season?
Ever since I started playing, I was already donning the green and white uniform.hahaha. But seriously, wearing DLSU’s uniform was really something special for me. I am really proud wearing it not only because my surname is at the back but also because I am playing for the name in front of my jersey which is LA SALLE.

No expectations really. Our coach always reminds us that this is our season so we have to do our best in every game and play like there is no tomorrow.
Any message to the team’s followers?
