From Billy Ray Bates to Manny Pacquiao - a Father's Day Blog.

How do you get from watching the Black Superman....


...to interviewing the World's Pound for Pound King?


How does a journey start? It starts with a PBA double-header featuring Gilbey's vs Great Taste, Crispa vs San Miguel. It starts when your dad brings you to your first ever PBA game and you see Billy Ray Bates in the flesh for the first time. When you see Bates dunk in high-definition for the first time. When you see Atoy Co and Philip Cezar (even if you're a die-hard Toyota fan) for the first time. When you see Norman Black for the first time. When you enter the Big Dome for the first time.

It starts because your dad helps you start it. It starts because your dad knows how much you want to start it. Even at 9-years-old. My journey never starts if my dad never helped me begin. Thanks Dad. Thanks to you, the journey starts, the journey continues...
