UAAP 86 MVP, Kevin Quiambao announced that he is becoming a dad in a mysterious post on X, on the night of September 24, tweeting only a baby boy emoji, and clarified the post to reporters the next day by confirming the arrival of the child.
Quiambao stated that he was feeling grateful for his son’s birth but emphasized that his commitment to La Salle remains strong. He recognized the challenge of balancing fatherhood and his career yet remains determined to thrive in both.
"It’s a blessing. Sobrang blessed ko lang sa puntong ‘to na nakakapaglaro ako at the highest level. Ine-embrace ko ‘tong bagong journey na tatahakin ko. Focus ako sa season and then focus ako sa pag-aalaga sa bata," Quiambao said to reporters on September 25.
Quiambao also refused to take part in naming the child, leaving the decision to let her partner, Faye Aguila, announce it as the mother. However, he mentioned that his newborn will be a new source of motivation for him in the upcoming UAAP Season 87.
DLSU Basketball star, Quiambao faced the challenges as a first-time father and a student-athlete. But he shared that their coaches permitted them to have the freedom to do what they want.
DLSU Head Coach, Topex Robinsons, recognized the potential challenges Quiambao will face and in balancing fatherhood and basketball, emphasizing that the team is prepared to support him in this new chapter while keeping their focus on the season ahead.
