Ultimate sacrifice for Trisha Tubu.
Trisha Tubu surprisingly left the Adamson Lady Falcons to turn pro after just one year in college.
The UAAP Season 85 super rookie joined her collegiate mentor Jerry Yee in the Farm Fresh Foxies, but the pride of Tarlac clarified that her decision to forfeit her playing years has nothing to do with the coach, or anyone. It's not even for personal gain.
Tubu entered the professional stage with a noble and heartwarming reason.
"‘Yung desisyon po ay hindi tungkol sa akin o kanino man. Para po talaga ito sa tatay ko sa Tarlac," Tubu said in a Farm Fresh post on Facebook.
The 22-year-old power hitter further explained that her father suffered multiple strokes.
"Kailangan niya ng pacemaker dahil naka-ilang operation at stroke na po siya," she said.
"Kailangan lang po talaga ng malaking halaga."
It's hard not to root for Tubu, knowing that the purpose is noble and it's the unconditional love of a daughter for her father which drives her to move forward.
"Pero sa dami nang isinasacrifice niya para sa akin dati, time ko naman po na ibalik ‘yun. Ayaw ko po dumating sa punto na huli na bago ko pa ‘yun maibigay sa kanya."
Protect Tubu at all cost.
