Alvin Patrimonio will join his fellow Philippine Basketball Association legends as they challenge Quezon’s best players in the “Clash of Stars” this Saturday at the Quezon Convention Center in Lucena City.
Patrimonio, a four-time PBA Most Valuable Player who now serves as team manager of the Magnolia Hotshots, will suit up to reinforce the legends in this friendly battle organized by the Parents-Teachers Association of Maryhill College.
The event aims to raise funds for the renovation of the Pope John XXII Building, support teaching and non-teaching personnel, and finance scholarship grants for deserving students.
Patrimonio will reunite with his former Centennial Team teammates, including Kenneth Duremdes, Allan Caidic, Marlou Aquino, and EJ Feihl, as well as Noli Locsin, Rodney Santos, Willie Miller, and Vince Hizon.
Duremdes confirmed Patrimonio’s participation in the Clash of Stars, referring to him as their skipper in the squad that won the bronze medal in the Bangkok Asian Games in 1998 under coach Tim Cone.
On the other hand, Quezon’s best players will be led by Quezon Vice Governor Third Alcala, Sariaya Mayor Marcelo Gayeta, San Andrea Mayor Ralph Lim, and Lucena City Mayor Mark Alcala, who plays for the Quezon Huskers in the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League.
The team supported by Quezon Governor Helen Tan will also feature MPBL standouts Topeng Lagrama and Dom Vera, Fr. Raul Macaraig, Fr. Joey Faller, P/Lt. Col. Erickson Roranes, Pagbilao Municipal Administrator Eng. Ian Palicpic, Aris Mercene, Jojo Perez, and Ian Abuel, who will represent Quezon Rep. Mike Tan.
