FLORENDO RITUALO
Born March 29, 1953. 6-2, 190 lbs. Center.
Dante was cited as a major factor in the title surge when the Philippines won the Asian Youth tournament in 1974-75. Keeping his fresh, unaffected ways despite nearly five years in the league, Dante shows particular strength under the goal. Operates well with Youth partner Danny Pribhdas and complements his sidekick's brainy play with his brawn. A product of the University of Baguio, and like Pribhdas, was an original member of the CFC-turned-GTD squad. Watch for Dante's passionate and ferocious leaps to grab the rebound!
