CEBU CITY, Philippines—The MJAS Zenith Talisay City Aquastars introduced three more players to complete their formidable roster in the upcoming Pilipinas VisMin Super Cup, which kicks off in Alcantara town, southwestern Cebu on April 9, 2021. 

In their official Facebook page, the Aquastars officially welcomed ex-PBA cagers in Lester Alvarez and Jan Niccolo Jamon and ex-MPBL player Dave Moralde.

The Talisay Aquastars are touted to be the team to beat in the tournament because of highly-skilled ex-PBA and ex-MPBL players on their roster.

The Aquastars’ roster is headed by team captain, two-time PBA champion Paolo Hubalde, and multi-titled forward Val Acuña.

The former Emilio Aguinaldo College small forward also played for the Pasay City Voyagers in MPBL.
