All eyes were on CJ Rosario, the projected top pick in this year’s Philippine Superliga Draft, when PSL hopefuls participated in the pre-draft camp on Tuesday at Filoil Flying V Centre in San Juan.
Rosario has been the headliner as of late as Friday’s Draft draws closer.
But the former Arellano University star isn’t the type to hog the limelight and just wants to appreciate each moment instead.
“Nag-e-enjoy lang ako. Natural lang,” Rosario said.
The 23-year-old Rosario is aware that she’s being billed to be the No. 1 pick by RC Cola-Army, but she doesn’t want to get too far ahead of herself.
Although, she’s hoping that she will be the top selection.
“Hindi ko ine-expect yon. Sana magkatotoo pero hindi ako namimili ng team. Basta kung saan man ako mapunta gagawin ko lang yung best ko,” she said.
There is pressure, as far as Rosario is concerned. But she also takes the added weight on her shoulders as a challenge for her to be better.
“Mas mahirap ngayon compared sa college. Mas gitgitan na yung laban. Pressured ako pero ibibigay ko kung anong kaya ko and mas pagbubutihan ko pa.”
Rosario said she enjoys watching volleyball legend Mary Jean Balse, whom she looks up to up to this time.
“Before nung college pa ako dream ko mapunta sa team nila Daquis, ate Balse kasi idol ko talaga si ate Balse. So kung mapunta man ako doon at kung papalarin ang lucky ko.”
