JAMES Regalado of the University of San Jose Recoletos basketball team might still be an incoming sophomore but to everyone who sees him play, it’s obvious that he’s no ordinary basketball player and that he has a long way to go in the field of basketball.

Upon entering the court, he first made a sign of the cross and pointed his finger up. He started the game by a 3-point shot and helped the team achieved victory that night.
