Congrats Wesley, Mabuhay!
Pasensiya tayo,lokong-loko kasi tayo sa basketball kasi kaya di masyado napagtutuunan ung ibang disiplina sa sports na meron tayong potensiyal!
Wow nice keep it up. Next bka world champ kna.
Yan ang hirap sa atin pag nag champion ang dami umaangkin, pero nun naghahanap ng donor walang mag sponsor. Pera-pera?, may mag recognize ba kay pacquiao kung di naging successful? Walang asahang suporta sa Phil. gov’t.
Galing talaga yan , wala nga lang mag – sponsor dito sa pinas sa kanya. OK lang na punta sya sa USA ,sayang Yung talent kung mapabayaan . Naalala KO tuloy si Eugene Torre siguro kung may nag iisponsor sa kanya noon baka world champion na rin sya . ! ! !
It’s heart-warming to know, you still have that Filipino spirit in you Wesley. Seeing you wearing that Barong Tagalog in the awarding ceremony makes me very proud to be a Filipino! Congratulations Wesley. You make us proud as a nation!
Yes Philippines sport commission and other sports committee are all corrupt ,so that’s why ,athletes are a low margin of winning in the world computation except if you have a sponsor and benefactor
Coleen, tatalunin na si Magnus oh!
Wow ang galing!
