CHAMP NANAMAN of University of the Philippines led all the champions of Ateneo’s classification national table tennis championship to pay tribute to former national player Jet Yatco over the weekend at the Ateneo Blue Eagles Gym in Quezon City.

DIFFERENT non-national, former and present national players are expected to gather on Sunday to pay tribute to former national player Jet Yatco in an exhibition match organized by fellow former national player Floyd Lobaton and professor Oscar Santelices.

With the all-out support from Jet’s friends and Filipino table tennis players who works in the middle east, the two-day event at the Ateneo Blue Eagles Gym on June 27 to 28 drew more than 100 young participants and 50 former and current national paddlers across the country.

“We did this because we honor our comrade Jet Yatco for his massive contributions in Philippine ping-pong,” said Santelices, whose two-day event is supported by Filipino middle east architects Leo Benedicto Trillo and Richard Lim, Engineers Joel Gundao and Riogil Espino.
