COLEGIO de San Juan de Letran unleashed Moses Manalili and its shackling defense as it unnerved University of Perpetual Help System Dalta (UPHSD), 97-80, on Saturday and inched closer to a back-to-back title conquest in NCAA Season 99 junior basketball at the Filoil EcoOil Arena.

Manalili delivered a performance to remember by flirting with a triple-double effort before ending up with 35 points, nine rebounds and nine assists in powering the Squires to a 1-0 lead and on the cusp of claiming a back-to-back crown and 14th overall.
