De La Salle fetes former champion teams with rings
De La Salle University awarded championship rings to its UAAP men's basketball champions from the 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, and 2016 teams.
The 'Animo Champions' event, led by San Juan City Mayor and alumnus Francis Zamora, also marked the silver anniversary of the 1998 championship squad.
Zamora, who was captain of the 1998 and 1999 teams, along with former team manager Terry Capistrano, spearheaded the ceremony.
Coach Franz Pumaren, under whom the late 90s and early 2000s dynasty occurred, and 2016 coach Aldin Ayo were also recognized.
This initiative aims to honor past achievements and inspire the current Green Archers team during their UAAP Season 86 finals campaign.
The rings, created by Suarez Brothers, feature a green stone, 'AN1MO' with the La Salle logo, and the championship year.
