Jayson Castro on DHVSU homecoming
Castro said he is glad for the school with the PBA planning to use the DHVSU as venue for the continuation of the conference.
The TNT guard attended high school at DHVSU located in his hometown of Bacolor, Pampanga where he was a member of the varsity basketball and athletics team.
Castro said he has kept his connections with the school, even playing pick-up games during the offseason.
“Excited ako nung nabalitaan ko na nasa DVHSU which is doon ako nag-high school. Doon ako nag-varsity ng basketball tsaka track and field,” Castro said.
“Sobrang happy ko kasi makikilala ‘yung school,” said Castro in The Link podcast.
At the moment, the PBA is still waiting for the approval of top officials of DHVSU for the use of the gym for the resumption of the matches.
The Philippine Cup will resume with the Tropang Giga at second place with a 3-0 win-loss record. Castro hopes that this conference will finally be the time that TNT can break its six-year championship drought which got extended after losing to Barangay Ginebra in the Philippine Cup finals.
“Almost three weeks din ‘yun workout at konting jogging. Ngayon ‘yung pagbalik namin, may go-signal na. Excited na,” said Castro.
“Lagi na lang kaming nasa finals pero hindi namin nakukuha. Pero okay lang din kasi ‘yung mga young guys namin noon, nagiging veteran na rin like Troy, Pogoy, ‘yung experience na ‘yun, nadadala nila,” said Castro.
