MANILA, Philippines—Newly-minted National University coach Sherwin Meneses steered the Lady Bulldogs to their new era with new kits to match.
The 91-, 182-, and 364-day T-bills fetched average rates of 5.444 percent, 5.668 percent, and 5.623 percent, respectively.
In the past, the Lady Bulldogs usually clad a navy blue or white jersey with gold accents. Sunday seemed like the start of something new, not just with Meneses debut as head tactician but also because of the new threads.
