The Altas will try to duplicate their feat of making the Final Four despite being given little chance last season as they go up against the Mapua Cardinals, who bid goodbye to ex-coach Atoy Co and replaced him with his assistant and multi-titled high school mentor Randy Alcantara. The other games pit Emilio Aguinaldo College with St. Benilde at 12 noon and San Sebastian with Jose Rizal at 4 p.m. The Las Piñas-based school, however, will be without their source of inside strength in last year’s MVP Prince Eze, who already graduated. We expect a lot from him,” said Perpetual Help coach Frankie Lim referring to Adamos. Back for Perpetual Help are Edgar Charcos, Kim Aurin, Gelo Razon and Rey Anthony Peralta, vital cogs in the team’s Final Four campaign last year.
