“Dagdag inspiration oo kasi gagastos ako after one year eh so kailangan kumita,” Revilla said with a chuckle.

(It’s added inspiration because after one year we’re going to get married and that’s a lot of expenses so I need to earn money.)

“Sana magtuluy-tuloy. Hindi naman namin mapa-promise na magiging 11-0 kami, hindi naman yon ang goal namin. As much as possible, one game at a time pa rin,” he said. “Last conference nga second nga kami pero natalo naman kami sa twice-to-beat so the standings doesn’t really matter. I think the growth of the team yung pinakaimportante.”

(Hopefully, we continue to win. But we can’t promise that we’re going to go 11-0. That’s not our goal. As much as possible, we take it one game at a time. Last conference we were second but we still lost our twice-to-beat so the standings don’t really matter. I think the most important thing is the growth of the team.)
