SUNDAY SALVACION
Born December 17, 1978/ Albatago, Surigao del Sur / 6-3/ forward
Teams may have regretted passing up on the former College of St. Benilde stalwart during the 2004 Rookie Draft. Only in his sophomore season, Salvacion blossomed into one of the most lethal perimeter shooters in the league. In an off-the-bench role, the native of Surigao del Sur came through with averages of 5.3 points and 3.1 rebounds in one of the most successful seasons for the La Tondeña franchise in years.
