Meanwhile, Gianrenzo Custado, Vince Ozanam Lamparas, Lindley Cueva, and Eugene Molleno will be playing for the University of San Carlos (USC).

They wrapped up their campaign with a 1-2 loss to the Panay FA.
Still, they topped the Group B tournament held last June at the same venue, proving their potential at the national level. / dcb
