Can I use STATEMENT with references like PREPAREDSTATEMENT?

With PREPAREDSTATEMENT the references of the values are passed to the QUERY but will there be any way to do it with STATEMENT ?

With prepared statement I do it this way:

String sql = "SELECT * FROM alumons WHERE nombre = ? AND pass = ?";

System.out.println("Query => " + sql);

//Le pasamos los parametros por un ?
ps = con.prepareStatement(sql);
ps.setString(1, per.getNombre());
ps.setString(2, per.getPass());
