Last night was truly memorable as I witnessed TEAM CLAVER achieve a historic 3-peat Grand Slam victory in the Governorβs Cup Menβs Basketball Tournament, reigning champions in 2023, 2024, and now 2026.
Honestly, I was not even supposed to attend the finals. Earlier that afternoon, we were at the SP Committee Hearing and the original plan was to return to the office afterward. Even during our coffee break at CafΓ© Ethereal with my media teamβwho were assigned to cover the championship gameβI was still undecided about going.
It was only at the very last minute, when we dropped off the media team at the rear parking area of the Provincial Gymnasium, that I finally decided to stay and watch.
And what a perfect decision it turned out to be.
It was actually my first time ever watching a sporting event inside the Provincial Gym, and to witness a championship finals at that made the experience even more special. Deep inside, I kept telling myself, βThis should be my first-time lucky nightβ¦ Claver must win this.β
And they did.
The energy, the passion, the unity of the crowd, and the determination of Team Claver created a moment I will never forget. Last night was more than just a basketball gameβit was history, pride, and legacy unfolding right before our eyes.
Congratulations once again, TEAM CLAVER!
P.S. Here are some captured moments from last night β not really of the game itself, but of my facial expressions throughout the championship experience. π
The emotions, tension, excitement, and happiness were simply priceless.
