Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard.

At 17 Bella Belen is the youngest to represent the national team. At 23 her jersey rises to the rafters. Nu pride!

NU gives Lams Lamina her flowers after five amazing seasons. #UAAPSeason88 @inquirersports

[kcd_06 Cruz2 @Kacedo_2]

Congrats to La Salle! But their win should still be put into context. This is largely the same team that got dismantled by NU last season, 12 sets to 3. #UAAPSeason88

[kcd_06 Cruz2 @Kacedo_2]

If the offense is not clicking, adjust. Bella Belen showed that with just 2 points but elite digs and reception. Sam Cantada should learn to make that switch.

Beyond the need for social awareness, I hope Amie Provido or any other athlete for that matter recognizes the risks and potential harm of using weed.

there are many names you can call them … queens of the court, heart of the game, legends, icons — but none are enough to define how great these two are. how great it is to see them playing on one team 🥹

BELLA BELEN & ALYSSA VALDEZ EVERYONE!

@mkde_lumot4lyf yes my bad. haha!

[kcd_06 Cruz2 @Kacedo_2]

@JohnmarkAsucan Yes, he is even more dominant.

[kcd_06 Cruz2 @Kacedo_2]

With the awarding fast approaching, it appears that in the 100-year history of the UAAP/NCAA, Bella Belen is the only athlete with the exact combination of Rookie-MVP and three-time MVP. In Philippine sports history, for that matter, no one else has matched that same distinction.

[kcd_06 Cruz2 @Kacedo_2]

@inlotyy @g0_uste Erratum: Sorry—when I conceived my post, there was no latest news yet. But yes, Josh Ybañez just jinxed my post and now shares this accolade. 😅 Kudos to the two who are bosom friends.

[kcd_06 Cruz2 @Kacedo_2]

@mkde_lumot4lyf My bad - I missed Marck Espejo big time.

SAM IS ROY 🐶

NU rookie ace Sam Cantada is set to be feted as the UAAP Season 88 women's volleyball Rookie of the Year with 66.786 statistical points.

@doitravv444 @queensleya_ Eya Laure is a breakout rookie star, but not super rookie. If one can be strict, only Canino and Belen qualify bcos they are champs at that time. But if generous, then Eya, or any imnpact player can be included, but at that point the term starts to lose its meaning and appeal.
