Ditoyak met lang nga nasurwan nu kasanu nga agbalin nga leader gapu ta napadasak met nga nagcoach kadagiti ubbing idi member ak ti BSU Football Club”, (BSU is one who molded and helped me mature in playing football. It is also where I learned how to become a leader since I tried coaching children when I was a member of the BSU Football Club).

“Every student-athlete must trust his/ herself and believe that he/she can do anything. We ( student-athletes) should never give up. We should not waste our skills because of any kind of vices”, he emphasized.
