MANILA, Philippines — Kevin Quiambao said his newborn child will be an added inspiration when he represents Gilas Pilipinas anew in the second window of the Fiba Asia Cup 2025 qualifiers.
“Ito yung ikukuwento ko sa kanya in the future na nakapaglaro ako ng Gilas and then hopefully na makuha din siya in the future. Pero, added motivation lagi ko lang silang iniisip palagi every time. Every after game, chine-check ko sila kung okay lang ba sila talaga. Kahit busy ako sa training, games, hinding hindi ko sila makakalimutan i-check,” Quiambao told reporters after leading La Salle past UP in the UAAP Season 87 men’s basketball tournament on Sunday.
MANILA, Philippines — Reigning UAAP MVP Kevin Quiambao assured that his “ligang labas” gig is just for his family and got a green light from La Salle coaches and managers.
Quiambao has been drawing flak on social media over his appearance in a recreational league last November 2.
UAAP men’s basketball: La Salle vs UP
MANILA, Philippines—University of the Philippines may have faltered yet again to La Salle in the second round of the UAAP Season 87 men’s basketball tournament but they found silver lining in the form of Jacob Bayla.
Despite losing to the defending champions, 77-66, on Sunday, Bayla had arguably the best game of his rookie season and he did it while coming off the bench.
MANILA, Philippines–La Salle secured the No. 1 seed by repeating over rival University of the Philippines, 77-66, in the UAAP Season 87 men’s basketball tournament Sunday night at Smart Araneta Coliseum.
“Guys were just ready to compete again [against] one of the best teams in college. We tried our best to be at par and try to compete against them. Credit goes to these guys for competing and not giving up on that second half,” said La Salle coach Topex Robinson, whose squad also beat UP by double-digits, 68-56, in their first-round encounter last month.

MANILA, Philippines — Heading into a crucial clash with National University, Adamson coach Nash Racela reminded the Falcons about the potential risks of playing against a desperate and resurgent Bulldogs side.
Wary of NU’s recent surge after it took down title favorite University of the Philippines and Final Four contender University of Santo Tomas, Racela put a premium on defense that did wonders for Adamson, which kept itself in the Final Four fight and eliminated the Bulldogs from contention on Sunday.
MANILA, Philippines–Adamson stayed in Final Four contention and pulled the plug on National University’s semifinal bid with a 53-41 win in the UAAP Season 87 men’s basketball tournament on Sunday at Smart Araneta Coliseum.
“Siguro if hindi nangyari yung nangyari sa import nila then they could probably be No. 3 now o baka nga No. 2 pa so that’s how strong NU is. They just struggled because they got used to playing with an import during the preseason,” Adamson coach Nash Racela said of NU, which which was coming off upset wins over University of the Philippines and University of Santo Tomas.
