“Matagal na tayo sa liga so kailangan talaga self-discipline lalo na kapag big man. Alam mo naman madalas yung banggaan sa ilalim,malingat ka lang hindi mo alam, pwede ka ma-injure,” De Ocampo said.
The 36-year old slotman believes sustaining a healthy diet enables him to keep up against younger big men and maintains his longevity.
