The just-friends pair represented Ateneo de Manila University at the 2015 PSA Awards

MANILA, Philippines – The two biggest names in Ateneo sports today, Kiefer Ravena and Alyssa Valdez, were each other’s dates to the 2015 Philippine Sportswriters Association on Monday night, February 16 at 1Esplanade in Pasay City, Philippines.

Ravena had earlier in the day been named to the initial 50-man Gilas pool for the 2015 SEA Games, remarking that he was “very honored.”

“I’ve been wanting to play for the national team,” said Ravena. “It’s going to be fun, it’s going to be a new adventure. It’s going to be exciting.”

Valdez, whose volleyball squad will face rivals De La Salle University on Wednesday, said she has been friends with Ravena since high school and became a basketball fan by watching him.

Oh my God. Kiefer, we’ve been friends siguro (maybe) since I went to Ateneo, and he’s really nice, and he really deserves what he gets – lahat nang award talaga (really, all of his awards).

“Honestly speaking, I just watched basketball when I went to Ateneo – UAAP basketball – so I’m really a fan of Ateneo. Kiefer is really an amazing guy.”

Here are photos from their night out on the town.
