Jayson Relata: An Exceptional Athlete

I write this article to commend our guest athlete for the CHED National Games 2010 whom I think is one of the best players we had, on and off the court.


He is 22 years old, an Entrepreneurship sophomore of USI who is considered as an ace player of the Vincentian basketball team. He played guard position who seldom missed three points attempts and is playing a basic basketball. No fancy moves, no force shoots! Once assigned as the point guard, he established leadership inside the court and delivers the ball well!

During practice, he is very dedicated. Could you imagine he travel all the way from Libmanan to Sorsogon (that’s more or less 80 kilometers away or 5 hours ride) just to hit early schedule of practice. That’s how he loved basketball.


He was once injured.. but recovered to help his team mates
do the mission....crush the opponent!

Off the court, he is silent. You heard him seldom talk. He just give you a smile on any discussion he cannot relate, he! He! He! He easily gets along with his Sorsogon team mates.


When Bicol Region lost the game,
Jayson was severely affected...sad!


Jayson played point and off guard of the team!
One of his most important game.. it's against San Sebastian College,
NCAA Champion. He gave Aquino a four - three points shots!

As his new manager, he treated me like he met long, long time ago. He is very kind and gentle. And, trustworthy! USI is so lucky having him as their ace player.

A simple pose, waiting for nothing, he! he!


I thought he was that boring, ball addict but he proved me wrong. He is .. SUPER KULIT PALA! Ha! Ha! Ha!

It was curfew hour at PHILSCA. Since the athletes are not allowed to go out

Jayson initiated a game to entertain his team mates!


He is the reason of Bea and John Loyd's breakup!
..and a frustrated model here! he! he! he!

It's nice to see him as the only Saint in the middle of deadly cats!

Seemingly, I could associate his personality to Kari Magalona, our CCDI Panthers ace now the team head coach whom till now, I consider my son and brother.

CHED Games was over but the friendship shared by this person to me can never be spoiled! I am so proud having met this guy!

after tiring day of the game.


Keep up the good job, dude! I know other than being good in basketball, you are a good husband and dad of two, .... a person with big dreams and big heart.

More to come, Jayson! You are among the few elite college basketeers of Bicol. I will always be proud of you!
