Out of Kuya's Shadows

Barely two years after former team captain JF Santos carried the JCA Doves to greater heights, his younger brother is already considered the future of the team, hoping that he would also let history repeat itself.

Michael Vincent Borgoñia Santos was born on the 16^th of October, 1996. He is third amongst six siblings and freshman from section Marvelous.

This rookie desires to take up Hotel and Restaurant Management at Far Eastern University and aspires to be a famous hoops star someday.

“In order for you to be successful, you have to study hard and that’s what I’m going to do,” Michael told In and Out.

Besides basketball, he also loves Math, Araling Panlipunan and Filipino. Indeed, pressure is no match for this young boy as he knows how to handle his time well, getting all his inspirations from those who shared and taught him about life’s meaningfulness.

“Sa kanila nanggaling and galing ko,” he said with full humility. “I get my strength from their encouragements, lalo na sa pamilya ko.”
