Hoop Season Stars

MVP Boy: Angelmar

"What you see is what you get, kung anu ako dati, ganun pa rin.."

Industrial engineering student Angelmar Maglalang humbly said this when asked how he would portray himself after being acknowledged as the Most Valuable Player in the Tagis Lakas 2008.
"Hindi ko nga expected... at kung wala yung team, wala rin naman…basta tulong tulong lang kami noon."

Angel, who started playing basketball during his high school years in Pampanga, was a member of the NEU Hunters for more than two years.
Generally, his stats speak so much. But, aside from this, what else made this lad deserve the most aspired MVP plum above everyone else?

“ Masipag siya, siya yung pinakamalakas sa team,..” said CET Coach Quirino Abalos. ”All around din siya, offense at defense...” he said.

“Sa court, complete package, lahat ibibigay, nakafocus para manalo…,” he stated. He also noted that we shall expect a better team on the next Tagis-Lakas.

Blazing and serious he is in basketball, what is Angel really like once he stepped out of the hard court?
“Friendly, akala masungit, pero shy type lang talaga ako..”, he said timidly.

“Si Angel, sobrang galante…,mapagbiro at maaasahan, makulit din…kaya bagay kaming magkakabarkada, kasi, pare-pareho kami ng ugali..”, Abalos proudly said of his longtime best friend and former teammate.

Moreover, talking with Angel face-to-face, you would certainly notice how humble and kind he is, you can call him Mr. Nice Guy.

“Salamat sa lahat ng sumuporta sa engineering, sa mga nawalan ng boses, hindi pumasok, sa mga prof,
kay Dean, sa buong IE department, at siyempre, sa Panginoon…”

Have you seen Symon Cyrell Santos moved in the hardcourt?

Once he possessed the ball, you would definitely hold your breath, and wait what happens next.

This Computer Science freshman from Laguna definitely made his entrance a big blow as he tactfully grabbed the MVP award in the Juniors’ division and dragged his name along with the five mythicals, Juniors and Seniors.
With his swift maneuvers that made you anticipate for more, Symon is far from being a beginner.
“Feeling ko nga, bata pa lang ako bola na ang hawak ko…”, said the former high school varsity team tmember of the Metro Manila College.
In spite all of his achievements, Symon said he was too overwhelmed with his jumpstart at the NEU hard court.
“Masaya. First time ko kasi maglaro sa Tagis Lakas…Thanks sa support ng CET, mga idol!”
With his “bad boy” aura, anyone might have an impression that Symon always spells trouble. But once you had a small chat with him, I bet you would think again.
