Gano&#x27;n &#x27;yong character no&#x27;ng bata, minsan ako na nagsasabi sa kanya na tama na, pahinga ka muna. Makikita mo &#x27;yong eagerness niyang matuto. Makikita mo sa mata niya.&quot;Thanks to Habacon&#x27;s heroics, San Beda is sitting pretty in Group B with a 7-1 record, just behind the top-seeded and undefeated Colegio de San Juan de Letran (7-0).Habacon zoomed past fellow Lady Red Spiker Janelle Bachar, University of Perpetual Help&#x27;s Jem Menor, and Lady Knight Judiel Nitura for the weekly citation supported by minor sponsors Discovery Suites and Buffalo Wings N&#x27; Things.<div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1771400994973IMG_7941.jpeg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="Perpetual&#x27;s Klint Mateo in NCAA Season 101.
