“Former league mega superstar playing in his last season. He will announce retirement soon. Kuliglig close to him told me that if he’ll have it his way, he would want to play even just a single game with his former team. He loves his current ball club but he’d want to have the feel of being with his old fans at MAGNOLIA. Andyan na clue. Ina yo.”
