Ateneo's Almadro praises UST's Rondina: Dahil sa'yo lahat gumaling


Despite being an opponent on court, Ateneo head coach Oliver Almadro praised UAAP Season 81 MVP Sisi Rondina of the University of Sto. Tomas.

"Sisi Rondina, Eya Laure, I really commend them," Almadro said in the post-game press conference.

Almadro said he was the first Manila-based coach Rondina knew, and he tried recruiting her to Ateneo, which did not prosper.

"You know na isa sa unang kilalang coach ni Rondina sa Manila ay ako. Di pa ako coach ng women's team, I've been recruiting her for Ateneo. Ako ang unang-unang nag-recruit sa kanya for Manila. Di lang talaga natuloy," Almadro narrated.

Almadro also said he has already seen Rondina's talents even when she was young.

"Bata pa lang si Sisi, nakita ko na siya. Sabi ko, may future 'tong batang to. Indeed, MVP," he added.

In a separate encounter, Almadro commended Rondina for pushing everyone to give their best.

"Pinush mo lahat pataas. Dahil sa'yo, lahat gumaling," Almadro said to Rondina.

 

 

"'Yung passion mo nagpagaling sa lahat ng players this year," Rondina said.

She then thanked Almadro and said in jest, "Mami-miss kitang kalaban."

Almadro also praised the whole UST team for giving their best in the Finals series.

"'Yung series namin, 'yung game 2 kahit kanino e. 'Yung game 3, siguro passion na lang ng players namin, We want it more," he said.

"We thank them for pushing us forward," Almadro said. —LDF, GMA News
