ONE of the strongest and seasoned teams on UNTV Cup is the AFP Cavaliers.
From claiming the trophy at the off-season games, the soldiers are even more high-spirited as the Armed Forces of the Philippines top brass is in full support of the Cavaliers this season 6 of the league of public servants.
As the Cavaliers are set to face the GSIS Furies in the second game on Sunday, head coach Sonny Manucat reveals their additional weapons.
“Meron kaming dalawang bagong player, medyo bata. Hopefully, makatulong at, in time, mag-gel sa team. Parehas silang Air Force…in terms of playing skills medyo advantage. Palagay ko ang mga experienced player namin mapapasabay na rin,” said Manucat.
With the two additions, Romeo Almerol Jr. and Jerry Lomongsod, Manucat is confident his two-time champion side can hit the target again this season.
Meanwhile, multi-season champion Judiciary Magis will play their first game this season with the Ombudsman Graft-busters.
The Magis will be led by its power trio, Warren Ybanez, Don Camaso and Chester Tolomia, while the Graft Busters will be reinforced by a former professional baller Noynoy Falcasantos Jr.
