MANILA -- It was like yesterday – three teammates on the court for each other with the Mapua Red Robins playing the NCAA juniors division, moving around, navigating spaces, and finding the basket.
On opening day last October 10, their second branch of The Sandwich Guy franchise at the corner of B. Gonzales and Katipunan Avenue in Loyola Heights, Quezon City saw a flurry of activity.The sandwich shop was set to open at 12 noon, but as early as 9 a.m., people were inquiring about making their purchases. On opening day, Basas ran delivery within the vicinity, while Alejandro and dela Cruz assisted with the guests.
“Siguro, eto 'yung expanding 'yung portfolio and preparing for life beyond basketball,” offered Alejandro who transferred to National University for college where he won a UAAP title in 2014. “If I stay in the game, I am fine being an assistant coach. But going into business with people you trust, this is a fun and learning experience.
