ONCE a Knight, always a Knight.
Alumni of Letran now playing in the PBA bonded together for a common good by auctioning their respective playing jerseys to raise funds for those in the frontline in this time of the coronavirus pandemic.
NLEX guard Kevin Alas led the group by auctioning his signed Gilas Pilipinas jersey and a rare pair of Kobe 8 sneakers, both of which he wore during his first stint with the national team.
The starting bid for the jersey was at P1,500, while the sneaker at P3,000.
The Gilas uniform was bought at P2,000, while the winning bid for the Kobe shoes was at P6,100.
Also contributing to the cause are the Meralco trio of Raymond Almazan, Bong Quinto, and Bryan Fajardo, Phoenix guard RJ Jazul, Alaska forward Kevin Racal, and Columbian Dyip playmaker JP Calvo, all of whom auctioned their respective PBA jerseys.

The PPEs will be distributed to hospitals around Metro Manila and neighboring areas.(RG)
