Two decades later, Chris Tiu, Doug Kramer, and JC Intal are back where it all began—the Blue Eagles court. 

Wearing the familiar blue, the PBA veterans relive the brotherhood that made their college days unforgettable.

“After 20 years, we’re reunited wearing the Blue Eagles jersey. Really happy to connect and compete again with these champs whom we went through so many battles with during our college days,” Tiu shared on Instagram.

“The fun times, the brotherhood, the triumphs, and even the heartbreaks—especially that 2006 Championship vs. UST, which is still so vivid… oh, those were the good old days. And boy, how those 20 years flew by,” he added.

The Blue Eagles reunited for the Pinoy Liga Alumni Cup, playing with just six players but making every moment on the court count.

“Happy seeing everyone again, in our element. It was a good win, and hopefully, we’ll have more reinforcements in the coming games,” Tiu mentioned in his post.

For Chris Tiu, Doug Kramer, and JC Intal, it’s about the friendships, the memories, and wearing the Blue Eagles jersey again. Twenty years later, the spirit remains.
