“We have already recruited some players who will beef up our guard line like Nard Pinto, Roi Sumang, and veteran Denok Miranda. We still have Juami Tiongson in our roster. Kumbaga, midway through the last season, nagstart na kami mag-ipon sa guard,” he said.

But Isaac is not closing the door on any possibility of adding another guard in his backcourt, saying, “Kung may makita pa kaming magaling na guard, we can consider him siguro.”
