Pag nakakalaban mo siya, pag napapanood mo siya, every galaw niya, meron kang matututunan.&quot; </p><p>Other UP holdovers such as Gerry Abadiano, Terrence Fortea, Janjan Felicilda, Harold Alarcon, and Reyland Torres have also contributed to Remogat&#x27;s transition to their team.</p><p>&quot;Mahirap kasi from ibang system tapos lilipat ka agad sa ibang system. Inaalalayan namin siya, pero hindi lang naman ako,&quot; said the Butuan native.</p><p>&quot;Meron din namang [guidance mula sa] yung mga veterans, yung mga player ni Coach Gold sa NU na mas nakakaalam ng sistema ni Coach Gold,&quot; he explained, while also saying that this treatment is done to all their new players and transferees.</p><p>&quot;Gina-guide namin lahat ng bago, hindi lang din naman si Rey kasi marami rin kaming bago eh. Tulungan lang kami as a team talaga.&quot;</p><p>Aside from Remogat, another former Red Warrior will now be unleashed by UP next season, the 6-foot-7 Gani Stevens. </p><div><a class="fr-green fr-strong" href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/12/12/23/uaap-gani-stevens-vows-to-step-up-for-up-in-season-87">READ: Gani Stevens vows to step up for UP in Season 87</a></div><p>&quot;I&#x27;m very excited for Gani kasi nakita ko yung trabaho niya during his residency year,&quot; claimed Cagulangan of Stevens who is eligible to play alongside him in Season 87. </p><p>&quot;Kung nakikita niyo si Gani physically ngayon, mas pumayat siya. Yung work ethic niya para mag-fit talaga sa sistema ni Coach Gold is grabe, grabe yung ginawa niya.&quot;</p><p>&quot;Very excited ako kasi although nakalaro na siya ng one-year sa UAAP and alam na niya kung pano laruin, happy kami and very excited kasi for sure, he&#x27;s a big help for us,&quot; he added.</p><p>Also in line for UP is Miguel Yniquez, a 6-foot-5 wingman who will be eligible to play in Season 88, and the Fighting Maroons are also expected to continue with their recruitment drive as the year progresses.</p><div><strong>RELATED VIDEO:</strong></div><div><ivs-player data-ivs-key="e8c22c015ca9eafa76f1e3edfa03c603" data-ivs-spid="3001339" data-ivs-vid="2996931"></ivs-player></div><script src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/js/loader.js"></script>
