Ilan hairclips meron si Detdet? At ilan suot mo every game?
Hindi ko alam. Hahaha. Pero yung dati ko pong hairclips, lima sa harap tapos lima rin sa likod. So 5+5 equals 10.
What has been your most memorable moment in your volleyball career?
Aside from UST, yung elementary talaga kasi du'n ko na-realize na gusto ko pala talagang maglaro ng volleyball, at kung gaano kalaking tulong 'yung volleyball sa buhay ko at sa family ko. Du'n ko natutunan paano maglaro ng volleyball at du'n ko na-feel matamaan sa mukha ng bola!
What’s the best part about playing for UST?
Siguro 'yung buong stay ko sa UST, the best talaga lalo noong nag-college na naglalaro ka tapos ang daming nanonood. Sobrang fulfilling na nakakaiyak na gusto ko nang mapunta sa MMK... CHAROT!
Angkong or Dimsum Treats?
Dimsum treats kasi mas malapit sa Dapitan gate.
How does it feel to be the first libero captain in UST? How do you handle the power and authority that you have?
Grabe 'yung question! Pang-ROTC ba 'to??? EMEEE. 'Yung pagiging captain ball po siguro is just a title lang talaga pero 'yung pagkakaroon kasi ng leadership, noon pa talaga kasi naging captain ako noong elem. 'Yung power and authority, I think nilulugar yan. Hindi porket captain ball ka, pwede ka nang mantrip o mag-uutos nang wala sa oras.
As a captain, do you practice tough love or mahinahon lang?
Tough love kasi dun talaga kami sinanay ni Coach Kungfu. Walang mahinahon mahinahon kay coach.
Why did you choose Elementary Education as your course?
Gusto ko lang. Charot. Nung bata kasi ako gusto kong maging teacher pero nung tumanda ako parang ayaw ko na.... EME.
Boom tarat tarat original o Christmas version?
Syempre boom tarat tarat... Willie Revillame?!?! EME. Boom tarat tarat lang pampa-hype.
