Brewhuh and Momelia meet the Azkals
It was pointed out to me that all the media attention is focused on the foreign-based mestizo players in the Azkals and we seldom hear about the Philippine-based players. True–for our part we only pay attention to the goalkeeper. So I asked Roby at InterAksyon.com to set up an interview with the Azkals, specifically the indios like myself.
Roby gave me the number of a contact person and said the Azkals would playing a match at the University of Makati. I could speak to them after the game. Oh no, I thought, not in the mood to wade into shrieking crowd. I want to sit down somewhere quiet and comfortable, have a coffee and talk about their lives (Not likely to happen).
So I asked Brewhuh and Momelia to go in my place. Turns out that the game at UMak was between the Army and Air Force football clubs so only four of the locally-based Azkals were there. And there was no shrieking crowd.
But Momelia and Brewhuh got the job done. Thanks, girls! The interview is in InterAksyon.com.
Here’s Momelia with Azkals co-captain Chieffy Caligdong. Momelia also compared tattoos with Chieffy’s coach.

Oileh, but it was fun on the wholesome. Just leave out the boring parts.

Thank heavens for this. I was wondering why there were only 2 Azkals members (sometimes there are five of them in magazines, but they keep showing only two faces prominently).

Yay, Momel and Brewhuh! Great job on the interview!
And: CHIEFFY! Still not happy about missing him at UPLB because he wasn’t as tall as Angel Guirado (which meant that he was able to pass through sight unseen) but he’s still my favorite of them all. Glad to know that he’s down-to-earth and very much invested on building the team.

Thank you for the feature. It is unfortunate for them to be shunned of the recognition when all athletes equally worked hard for our team.
