Protect Trisha Tubu at all cost.
Adamson Lady Falcons hitter Trisha Tubu is aware of all the online comments about her appearance.
The 5-foot-8 rookie has seen and heard it all for years.
"Since high school naman po, ganyan na. Bago ako mag-college in-expect ko na mga sasabihin ng mga tao," Tubu said.
"Kung ano man po sinasabi sa labas, wala na po akong magagawa sa sasabihin nila."
Instead of succumbing to the unfair noises, Tubu said she is using these comments as motivation.
"Actually po, mas gusto kong nakakabasa ng ganun kasi nabu-boost pa ako sa sinasabi nila," she said.
"Alam ko po kapag pinakinggan ko mga yun, ako lang din 'yung mahihirapan. Kaya ginagawa ko na lang motivation."
With Tubu's help, the Lady Falcons have started the season with a 2-1 win-loss card, and even pushed the defending champions NU Lady Bulldogs to a five-set thriller.
The hard-hitting rookie is confident that she will get the praises of bashers and trolls in time.
"Marami pa po akong kayang gawin sa court na pwede pong magbaligtad [into] positive na ['yung] sinasabi nila sa akin, kaya hinahayaan ko lang sila."
