They are Nickson Andwele Cabañero of Lapu-Lapu City and Sacred Godwyn Toring of Cebu City.

Cabañero, who suits up for the University of Santo Tomas (UST) Tiger Cubs, was named to the Mythical Five in last year's UAAP Season 87 with an average of 16.8 points, 9.4 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.7 steals per game. They reached the Finals but lost eventual champions University of the East (UE) Junior Warriors.

The 5-foot-11 Cabañero is younger brother of UST 'King Tiger' Nic Cabañero. Their father Dominic Cabañero is currently the head coach of the University of San Carlos (USC) Baby Warriors Under 15 team.
