Pag nagpapatawag ako ng huddle, hindi na ako nagsasalita, sila na lang.”</p><p>“Each and everyone sa &#x27;min, makikita mo na leader na sila.”</p><p>For Cansino, this will again come into play during their preparations for Sunday as they attempt to knock out La Salle and send them home to Taft Avenue.</p><p>“Dahil naramdaman na ‘rin namin matalo last season, kahit onting reminders na lang sa mga teammates ko. Pansin ko naman, lahat nagsasalita eh.”</p><p>“Lahat alam na ‘di pa namin kailangan mag-celebrate, na kailangan pa namin magtrabaho,” he concluded. </p>
