The Weavers were led by Freddie Hubalde, Danny Basilan, and Ricky Pineda when they won the 1973 Dona Edralin Marcos Cup held at the Loyola Center. The Weavers' four-overtime win over Manilabank was a forgotten classic mainly because of the absence of stars who were preparing for the 7th Asian Basketball Confederation and were off their mother teams. Others in the Weavers championship team were former college standouts Jess Sta. Maria, Virgilio "Bong" de la Cruz, Roehl Deles and Romeo Frank.
