Bella Belen honored as NU retires her No. 4 jersey
National University (NU) has retired the jersey number 4 of former Lady Bulldogs star Bella Belen, making her the first student-athlete from the institution to receive this honor.
The retirement ceremony took place at the SM Mall of Asia Music Hall during the school's pep rally on Thursday.
Belen is the first player from NU to have her number retired.
She expressed being overwhelmed and honored by the gesture, stating it was unexpected.
Belen carved history with NU, winning three UAAP championships with the seniors team after collecting five titles during her high school days with Nazareth School.
She also became the league's first rookie-MVP in Season 84.
Belen joins Manilla Santos of La Salle and Rachel Anne Daquis of FEU as UAAP volleyball players who have had their jersey numbers retired by their schools.
