On Saint Tuesday, Cléopas and the Altas Juniors beat the College of St. Benilde in a dominant victory in match 3, 101-67, to govern the basketball final of the NCAA 100 season.
Instead of simply celebrating with his players after the victory of the stages, Cleopas made a point of giving glory to the highest of his first post-match interview as a champion high school trail.
“Before anything else, I wouldn’t have that without my promise to God,” said Cleopas. “I told God to give me this victory so that his name is glorified, and I want to share his good news with everyone.”
Even before taking over as a junior Altas chief coach, Cleopas had already adopted the role of a messenger for the Lord.
When he was coach of force and packaging under Aldin Ayo at the University of Santo Tomas in 2018, Cleopas was already passionate about the propagation of the word.
Now, with a larger platform as a head coach, Cleopas made sure that his championship moment reflected his faith. He appeared on the broadcast of the NCAA where he shared the message close to him.
“He died for our sins. The only way to receive eternal life is to receive his name and know that he died on the cross,” he said. “We will be saved. It is the only thing in my heart before anything else, because it is my promise to the Lord. ”
In just two years at the head of the Junior Program of Perpetual Help, Cleopas has already made two appearances in the final and delivered the very first NCAA championship of the school.
