OS: Do you observe any religious practices during the Holy Week?
Sangalang: For me, wala naman. It’s time to give back lang sa Panginoon sa ginawa Niya thousands of years ago. He died for us. Praying lang and thankful lang kasi ginawa Niya 'yon for us.
OS: Do you have a religious devotion?
Sangalang: Wala naman. Ang [ginagawa] ko lang is I go to Church every Sunday. Kung hindi makapunta dahil may game, babawiin ko naman the next day kung may Mass 'pag Monday. Ganoon lang 'yong panata ko.
