Gian Robert Mamuyac, a Filipino high school basketball varsity player, has piqued the interest of fans with his performance as Ateneo’s guard in the UAAP championship.
Gian Mamuyac stepped up to maintain Ateneo unblemished in four games in the first meeting of the country’s toughest collegiate rivals since the pandemic.
Similarly, he was a nightmare for La Salle’s defense, tallying 11 points, six steals, and six rebounds in Ateneo’s 74-57 triumph in the UAAP Season 84 men’s basketball tournament on Saturday evening at Mall of Asia Arena.
Even when they played in an empty arena, the graduating guard said their rivalry with the Green Archers brought out the best in both teams.
Recently, on May 17, he wept his heart out as he said goodbye to his UAAP career with sadness after the Ateneo Blue Eagles’ failed four-peat campaign.
Mamuyac was guarding Joel Cagulangan when the UP guard hit the game-winning three-pointer in Game 3 of the Season 84 finals, ending the Fighting Maroons’ 36-year pursuit for a UAAP crown.
But grief changed to the excitement for Mamuyac, who realized his long-held ambition of playing in the PBA after Rain or Shine picked him as the No. 5 overall choice in the PBA Draft on Sunday, May 15.
