Last time to feel being a Champion Again!!

This Picture taken last year 2009. As I looked back, I was watching manoy in this tournament...and I did not expect that he had some photos from the tournament. The Tournament was not that big, but as I take a look on the photo, my brother really savor each moment of this tournament. I realized, " that was his last time to have felt how was it like to be a champion again", after long years of not seeing him in the world of tennis. If you looked at him, it seems he didn't have problems..but playing tennis was way out of pain. He enjoyed every moment of his life with the people around, making jokes and be friend with them. I was touched because while he was playing, I've talked to a guy, who really went to the tennis court just to see him playing. I was amazed how manoy touched the pulot boys cheering him and calling him an idol. One Message that I could always remember..When he was given the chance to speak.. " He thanks the organizer of the tournament in Mandaue Tennis court, and he said " OH mga bata, ayaw mo pag Drugs Drugs, involved mo sa tennis or any sport kay maka ayo ni sa inyo". After the speech he sat beside me and said.. "Ok ba ako speech may"? I said yes manoy.. After, he shared his money reward to the pulot boys. He even gave some of his things to his friends there. I told myself si manoy, hehe wala japun ng bago.. if he can give, he will really give whole heartedly, even if pagkabukas wala na syang pera.. He was really Generous and I've seen the reflection of his generousity, when he died through the outpouring support of his dear friends.

I remembered at that time when the ECo4 tennis club invited manoy to have his wake of the tennis court, I was very firm that he wanted to be there.. I didn't know where I got that feeling, that I'm sure that he really wanted to be there.. I realize that my feeling came from the speech.. He wanted to leave a legacy of being a man of God values...

We miss you manoy..and WE love you..
