FEU-Diliman’s youth teams are set to represent the Philippines in the 2026 NBA Rising Stars Invitationals in Singapore, marking the first time the school joins the regional high school event. The FEU Baby Tamaraws will compete in the boys’ division, with coach Allan Albano saying the team is highly motivated ahead of its international matchups against other schools. FEU players JB Cagurungan and Prince Cariño, who are part of the Philippines’ Gilas Youth, will also carry the national colors during the tournament. Both players come off a strong run at the FIBA U18 Asia Cup SEABA Qualifiers, where they won gold, and they view that experience as preparation for facing international competition again. Cagurungan says the qualifiers gave him experience playing overseas, which he expects to help as the team takes on other international schools in Singapore. The articles frame the tournament as an opportunity for FEU’s players to test their skills beyond the domestic circuit and build on their recent international success.
