Cariaso???Jarencio??? 😂 Kilala mo ba si Baby Dalupan?Si Dante Silverio?
I think the voters here are the younger generations who do not know coach Baby Dalupan, Dante Silverio, among others…supposedly in place of the new kids on the list, Jeffrey Cariaso, Chito Victolero or Pido Jarencio. I believe it is also an injustice to coach Chot Reyes being at the bottom. He is far more popular or better than Jong Uichico & the 3 kids!
cone, dalupan, ron jacobs, black, jaworski, guiao, uchico,chot reyes, silverio, p.ronquinllo… toss up for the next five victolero,gregorio,boyet fernandez,tanquincen,perasol, joe lipa, altamirano,derek pumaren.
