RALOOSYOB beat JT Metro in overtime to win the first ever Mapua Alumni Basketball Finals on 21st September 2009. In the other games, Mapua Alumni Selection beat San Beda/UP Alumni Selection and Band-Aid Team Pilipinas beat Freshmen.
The Basketball Finals and Get-Together Event was attended by representative from POLO-OWWA and various leaders from FILCOM headed by Dante Delizo. The NAMA-UAE President thank all the Mapuans who have attended and to committee members who have made the event possible. He also thanked the Mapuans who have contributed namely; Marigrace Agapito-Planning Manager of Dubailand, Enrico Garcia - Engineer Consultant of Parsons; Robert Ramos- Technolux General Manager; Gary De Leon - Asst. Director Fairmont Group of Hotels; Steve Evangelista - Project Manager Gerab; Vic Santo-Tomas - Sr. Structural Engr. McDermott; Roger Zapanta - Safety Manager McDermott. Of course, not to be forgotten is the live band composed mostly of Mapuan Alumni has brought enjoyment to the crowd. The group is composed of Dong Faustino, Leovin De Ramos (men vocal), Lons Casenas, Milo Torres, Quay Evano, Alejandro Dalimos, Jarret Umali, Luz Moreno and Venus Atienza who have taken time out from busy schedule to form the band in such as a short time.
The event was a success given the tight schedule, minimum resources and short preparation that all teams and members have. There were no injuries and untoward incident that happened. Dante Delizo outgoing FILCOM chairman praised NAMA-UAE for leading the way in initiating a basketball event among alumni associations in the UAE. The event was fully funded by Mapuans and will be looking at bigger and better events in future.
