“Salamat sa UNTV sa pag-sponsor nito. Ipagpatuloy natin ito.”

This is what Senator Franklin Drilon uttered after their team Senate Defenders won their first UNTV Cup title with an 84-64 triumph against the Malacañang-PSC Kamao on Monday, March 12 at the Smart-Araneta Coliseum.

After a winless campaign last season, the Senate Defenders bounced back this year with the championship after sweeping the best-of-three finals series against the gritty Malacanañg-PSC Kamao at the Smart-Araneta Coliseum on March 12 this year.
