I would like to acknowledge my recent guests from our South East Asian neighbors - Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, and Vietnam. It is a great honor to be visited by Datuk Naim Mohamad of Malaysia.

I left for Bangkok, Thailand on September 6, Thursday, on board a Philippine Airlines Flight at 10:45 in the morning. There were 10 of us in the team - a PSC official, 2 coaches, a mechanic, 4 senior cyclists, and a junior cyclist. Walang supplies at allowance. Kanya-kanyang bayad ulit pati sa mga uniforms. Pagbalik na lang daw ibibigay ang allowance. I do not dwell on this too much. Nakakababa lang ng moral at negative pa sigurado ang effect sa performance. Mawawala lang ako sa focus. Buti na lang Mr. Washington Ong of Newton Multisales and Cannondale Philippines provided me a pair of tires. I also brought powerbars given by Sir Hiso a couple of months ago. I am saving those for emergency cases tulad ngayon. I arrived at the airport around 7am with a full stomach. Mahirap abutan ng gutom sa airport kasi mahal ang bilihin dun. At galing ako sa bahay kaya walang problema sa almusal. Pero hindi pa pala nakakain ang mga galing ng quarters kasi maaga sila umalis. While waiting for our flight something good happened. A congresswoman from Laguna learned about our situation and gave our group 5,000 pesos. Salamat po mam! Mam Judith Caringal also called, and interviewed our group. (more…)

Here is their Yahoo Groups Page - DUBAI RACERS

A few months ago, I was contacted by Filipinos in United Arab Emirates. I was surprised that they chose me to design the official cycling jersey for their club, Dubai Racers. I am very amazed that information about my hobby of designing cycling apparels somewhat reached them. (more…)
