I almost forgot that I talked to one of the best point guards of the UAAP last month. It’s my second time to talk to him since that Championship celebration at the Embassy last year. This time around, I asked him some questions, like questions I never heard others ask him.
PBF: Whats the greatest perk you get from playing basketball?
JV: For me, it’s the scholarship. It’s a help for my family kasi instead they won’t have to spend for my tuition anymore.
PBF: Do you regret transferring from San Beda to La Salle?
JV: Of course not. After all of what’s been hapenning to me here in La Salle, there’s no point of being remorseful. And besides, it’s my dream to actually play as a green archer. In fairness to San Beda, that’s where I started playing basketball so I have so much respect for my mentors there.
PBF: You don’t stay in the player’s quarters. What’s up?
JV: I go home everyday sa Paranaque kasi I live with my sister (or brother? I’m not sure, I forgot sorry - PBF) and I have to look after her. Our parents aren’t here kasi.
PBF: What’s that greatest basketball thingy that’s gonna be most remembered?
JV: It’s not a championship game but it was kinda like a crucial game. I was in high school and I was like a bench player at that time. Then I nailed a buzzer beater shot, and we won.
PBF: We know Jackie’s your lovely girlfriend, but who’s your showbiz crush anyway?
JV: Angeline Jolie
