Hanggat may oras, lalaban lang kami,&quot; said the former St. Clare College star, who was previously handed the suspension after being ejected in their previous loss against the University of Perpetual Help System DALTA over a week ago. </p><p>&quot;Pero kakabalik ko nga lang rin, so gusto kong manalo at makabawi,&quot; added Jimboy, who even dished out to Deo Cuajao — who also had a career-game of 34 points — the three-pointer that eventually became the game-winner. </p><p>Unfortunately, Estrada — who, statistically, is among the frontrunners for the Most Valuable Player (MVP), Rookie of the Year, and Mythical Team plums — is now disqualified from receiving these feats. </p><p>He admitted that his actions, as well as now being prohibited from winning awards in his first year in the grand old league, have greatly affected him emotionally. </p><div><a class="fr-green fr-strong" href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/2024/10/16/ncaa-letrans-estrada-suspended-now-ineligible-for-awards-1222">READ: Letran&#x27;s Jimboy Estrada now ineligible to win awards due to suspension</a></div><div><a class="fr-green fr-strong" href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/2024/10/22/cuajao-estrada-post-career-highs-as-knights-end-skid-at-stags-expense-1614">READ: Cuajao, Estrada post career-highs as Knights end skid at Stags’ expense</a></div><div><span><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:960px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1729600012496IMG_5424.jpeg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="Letran Knights head coach Allen Ricardo, Jimboy Estrada (#26) and Kevin Santos (#4).

Dapat tulong-tulong pa rin naman kasi para makuha yung panalo,&quot; he said.</div><p>Estrada is instead opting to look on the bright side and view it as a lesson, and most importantly, use it as motivation to play even better in their last five assignments. </p><p>&quot;Yung suspension, sinabi ko na sa sarili ko na tapos na yun eh. Kailangan kong mag move forward, para makabawi ako,&quot; he said. &quot;Sobrang sayang talaga, pero mas natutunan ko na isipin muna kung anong gagawin ko. Isang pagkakamali mo lang, lahat mawawala eh.&quot;</p><p>&quot;Sana ma-improve ko pa. Pero mas bibigay pa namin yung todo namin para maka bangon pa,&quot; added Estrada, who is currently putting up 16.6 markers, 7.4 boards, a league-best 5.3 dimes, 0.7 steals, and 0.9 rejections for CSJL in 12 games so far.</p><div><strong>RELATED VIDEO:</strong></div><script data-wid="auto" type="text/javascript" src="https://content.viralize.tv/display/?zid=AAEyze-tm4MR6kEa&amp;cid=ABO073tNfPro_gpM&amp;activation=click&amp;vip_mode=playing&amp;vip_position=bottom-right"></script>
