The UAAP on Wednesday formally named Xavier Nunag as the commissioner for its basketball tournaments for Season 86.
Nunag will be joined by Atty. Mariana Lopa, who has been named as the Deputy Commissioner for women's and girls’ basketball. A former player of the Ateneo women's basketball team, Lopa is the second woman to hold this position in the UAAP's history after Edith Boticario, who served as Deputy Commissioner in UAAP Season 82.
"It's nice to be back home in the UAAP. When I was growing up, it was my dream to play in the UAAP. I never thought I'd return as a deputy commissioner. I'm very, very happy and excited," said Lopa, also the managing director of Girls Got Game. "I understand the intricacies of the women's game, the women's tournament and the challenges that we face," she said.
"My goal for the high school boys' tournaments this year is to propagate and reinforce the mission and vision of the commissioner's team throughout all senior competitions, while maintaining or even surpassing that standard in our UAAP participation," he said.
