This gallery contains scans of pictures taken of the Southern Tagalog Regional Athletic Association (STRAA) of 1990, which was held in Sta. Cruz, Laguna. This was a difficult STRAA because we were the defending champions and practically the entire team graduated the previous year. Thus, the players were mostly members of the previous "Aspirants" (Under-16) team which were promoted to the senior team.
This STRAA was also notable for one of the most difficult decisions I had to make as a coach, when I decided to make full use of the tournament to give playing experience to the younger players in preparation for the next year, at the expense of the three seniors of the team: Erwin Sibayan, Omar Leyesa and Joel Carbonilla.
