“Kahit pasok na kami sa playoffs, we really still wanted to win this game para tumaas lalo morale ng mga bata going into the division semis,” pahayag ni M0akati mentor Ian Racela.
“Malaki na in-improve ng chemistry ng mga bata at tumaas na morale nila. I think we’ll be more than ready this time against Las Piñas in the semis,” aniya.
