EFFORT will be the last thing you’ll ever question when it comes to Cedrick Manzano.
Whether it’s one of the league’s minnows or a legitimate contender like La Salle, you’ll be sure to get 100-percent - and even more - from the Romblon-born big.
And as he continues to carry the torch for Adamson, Manzano is just hopeful that the rest of his teammates follow his trail.
“Kung ano yung ginagawa ko, sana ma-adapt din nila. We’re good din naman as a team, nagko-compete naman kami at yun ang mahalaga,” he said.
On Saturday, Manzano was yet again the lone bright spot for the Soaring Falcons, registering 14 points, four rebounds, and three assists.

Unfortunately, the Green Archers just got the better of Adamson anew, 70-45, to condemn the San Marcelino crew to four straight losses and a 3-6 slate.
Not too late to go soaring, flying
Despite this recent funk, Manzano stressed that this is not the time for them to mope, as they still have five games to play and can still conjure a late second round Final Four push.
But it all starts with putting the work in, much like how the 6-foot-4 forward has done for the entirety of UAAP Season 87.
“Alam namin yung capacity ng team namin. May chance pa naman kami. Focus lang kami sa mga pinapagawa ng mga coaches at sana, masunod namin hanggang court,” he said.
“Sabi nga ng coaches, kahit anong mangyari, dapat hanggang dulo, stay pa rin kami sa tamang ginagawa namin. Ganoon ang ginagawa ng La Salle, dapat ganoon din kami.”
