Abando along with former UST growling tigers Brent Paraiso, Ira Bataller, and former Squire Neil Guarino was captured in a photo on the grounds of the university, documented on its official Facebook page. 

Also, Abando shared a photo of him wearing a Letran Knights jersey on his Instagram account.

Mid-year of 2020, Abando, Paraiso, and Bataller joined the knights after the unfortunate Sorsogon controversy that involved Coach Aldin Ayo and the rest of the UST squad.

The quartet toured the campus in hopes of the resumption of NCAA Season 96. 

Once pending resumption of the NCAA Season 96 got approved, the quartet is expected to grace the court as front runners together with Finals MVP Fran Yu defending the throne. 

The pandemic delayed season will be hosted by Letran exclusively only for basketball, volleyball, swimming, and track and field and selected online sports to air on GMA Network.
