MANILA -- The life story of Paul Desiderio, the former captain of the University of the Philippines (UP) Fighting Maroons, is set to be featured on "Maalaala Mo Kaya."

His story will be brought to life by actor Ronnie Alonte, who is making a comeback to the ABS-CBN long-running drama anthology. He is fit for the role since Alonte is known to love basketball too.

The episode will air on January 19 at 8:30 p.m. after “World of Dance.”

Desiderio's UAAP career quite literally started from the bottom.

He was a rookie in 2013 when the UP slumped their way to a 0-14 season. He went on to become UP's hero after he led the team to a historic campaign in the recently concluded UAAP Season 81 men's basketball tournament.

Desiderio lifted the Fighting Maroons to their first finals appearance in 32 years. He was also responsible for the iconic "Atin 'to" battle cry in the UAAP Season 80.
