John Amores receives letter from VP Sara Duterte

Amidst the situation he's currently in, John Amores found some support in no less than Vice President Sara Duterte. 

In a Facebook post on Monday, the former JRU Heavy Bomber shared that Duterte had sent him a letter that included some words of encouragement. 

"Remember the lesson not the mistake, you have a friend from the Office of the Vice President," Amores quoted from the letter. 

He added in response: "It was a great honor, Ma'am, thank you for those words of encouragement."

Amores is facing a complaint for physical injuries filed by Jimboy Pasturan and Taine Davis, two of the players that got hurt when Amores had an outburst in JRU's game against De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde last November 8.

He has also been removed from the JRU basketball team and athletics program and suspended from the NCAA indefinitely for his actions in the game.

Amores has since apologized to the Benilde team in a visit to their practice.

Despite the issues surrounding him, Amores said he is glad to find a person that believes in him. 

"Ipapa-frame ko 'to as a remembrance na sa dami ng bashers at negative critics [ko], may isang tao na ipapaalala sa'yo na mahalaga ka kahit 'di mo kaano-ano," Amores added.

"I won't lose hope, somewhere in between in the darkest season of my life there’s still a light."
