Reinforcing the team are actors Rocco Nacino, Paul Salas, Kirst Viray, Jose Sarasola, Gil Cuerva, and Pancho Magno.
Meanwhile, Liwag will have Mapua’s Paolo Hernandez and Warren Bonifacio; Gelo Sablan and Kai Oliva of Arellano; JL Delos Santos and Marwin Dionisio of JRU; Enoch Valdez and Mclaude Guadaña of Lyceum; and fellow General Ralph Robin.
