MANILA, Philippines – Colegio de San Juan de Letran has found a new high-profile patron for its basketball team’s bid in the ongoing NCAA Season 91 tourney.

Eight-division boxing champion Manny Pacquiao has been named the Letran Knights’ team manager.

The Intramuros-based school unveiled the big surprise on Wednesday, July 1 in a post on its Facebook fan page, which showed Pacquiao holding an official Letran shirt and standing side-by-side with Fr. Victor Calvo, who is Letran’s NCAA Management Committee representative.

A playing coach for the Kia Carnival in the PBA, Pacquiao will be working along with new Letran head mentor Aldin Ayo, who also serves as one of his assistants.

The Knights are scheduled to play the Jose Rizal University Heavy Bombers on Friday, July 3 at the Filoil Flying V Arena in San Juan. – Rappler.com
