The Emilio Aguinaldo College (EAC) Generals still has no NCAA championships to brag but the entry of Bong Cuevas as the new benefactor of the team could be the change it needs to compete for the crown. Since Bong Cuevas is the owner of the Nueva Ecija Rice Vanguards franchise in the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League (MPBL), he brought the Rice Vanguards' head coach Jerson Cabiltes to steer the Generals.
Jerson Cabiltes also brought his ward Harvey Pagsanjan who initially left the UE Red Warriors team to play in the MPBL but later opted to apply for a Special Guest License then transferred to Emilio Aguinaldo College.
Veteran John Paul Maguliano is expected to lead the EAC Generals' title campaign, alongside Earl Umpad, Nicole Quinal, Ruzelle Dominguez, Kyle Ochavo, Joshua Tolentino, Brianne Angeles, Jethro Bacud, Dave Ednilag, Ralph Robin, King Gurtiza, Art Cosa, Nat Cosejo, Andrey Doria and Stephen Villaflor among others.
