Numero Otso!

They are batchmates and currently sophomores. After UAAP Season 88, they will still have three more years to compete and grow in the league. The future is definitely bright for these young athletes. With more seasons ahead, they have plenty of time to develop their skills, gain experience, and make an even bigger impact on the UAAP stage. This is only the beginning of their journey!

But for now, let us all focus as they battle it out this UAAP Season 88.
