MENTALLY PREPARED
PBA Champion. Finals MVP. All-Star Game starter.
Mark Barroca wants to add one more title in his already impressive resume – Obstacle Challenge champion.
With nine others vying for the title, which has been held by Jonas Villanueva for the last four years, Barroca wants to prove that he’s not just one of the speediest guards in the league, he is also one of the most versatile.
“Excited ako para sa skills competition bukas,” the Coffee Prince said.
He adds, “Para sa akin, lahat ng malalakas at magagaling, kasali rito. Ang akin lang, prepared ako mentally.”
“Prepared yung isip ko at focused ako para bukas.”
The cat-quick guard from FEU is also honored to be voted in his second All-Star Game, this time as a starter.
“Masaya ako na naging starter ako at dahil yun sa mga fans,” he said. “Nagpapasalamat ako sa kanila kasi kung di dahil sa kanila, di ako makakapaglaro dito.” (RL)
