"Para to kay Sir Rolly Manlapaz, he's been a legend here so parang nung time na he passed away, ako naiyak din eh," Belangel said.

"It's a dream of mine noong first year ko rito, parang gusto ko rin matawag ni Sir Rolly 'yung name ko. Nung nawala siya parang nakakaiyak. This game para sa kaniya to," the rookie added.

Manlapaz passed away last Thursday after a battle with ALS. — DVM, GMA News
