Freego Backs Falcons And Red Lions

As part of its advocacy to promote basketball in the country, Freego Jeans has partnered with NCAA defending champion San Beda College and UAAP top title contender Adamson for the coming collegiate tournaments.

Freego officials, led by its president Nelson Chan, said the agreement signed recently with both schools will make the country’s leading jeans maker the official provider of their uniforms.

“We’re happy to announce our new partnership with a champion school like San Beda. We, at Freego, also make sure we are champions in terms of delivering quality jeans and clothing for the market,” said Chan.

“Adamson is an aggressive team, we are very positive about their chance and would be very glad to contribute to its success this season,” added Chan.

Even without American center Sudan Daniel, San Beda Freego officials are confident that the Frankie Lim-mentored Red Lions can retain their title knowing they have the support of the entire San Beda community.

Garvo Lanete, Jake Pascual and Dave Marcelo will spearhead the Red Lions anew as they bid to win their fifth title in six years.

The Falcons, handled by Leo Austria with Joel Yap as team coordinator, made it to the Final Four last year against Ateneo. This time, Adamson and Freego officials are hoping to improve on their semifinals finish after getting an exposure in the PBA D-League.

The Falcons will be bannered by Alex Nuyles, Jeric Canada and Lester Alvarez – the same players who helped Freego reach the quarters of the D-League.“We have an almost intact line-up, so we’ll do our best,” said Yap.

Freego is also in the forefront of high school tournaments, being a regular sponsor of Metro Manila Tiong Lian Basketball Tournament – the premier tournament among Fil-Chinese schools. It also sponsored summer tournaments like the Fil-Chinese Basketball League (FCBL), NBTN/Coach E tournaments.
