00:00Let's join teammate Rafael Bandayrel and Sports Memorabilia Collector Dr. Michael Rico-Messina

00:07in their review of the world of Philippine sports.

00:10History, nostalgia, and much more.

00:13Here on Treasures of the Game.

00:23Good morning teammates and happy new year!

00:25Welcome to the first episode of Treasures of the Game of 2025.

00:30I'm your host, Rafael Bandayrel.

00:32And with me, as always, is our subject matter expert, Dr. Michael Rico-Messina.

00:37And look, happy new year to you!

00:39Happy new year to Raf and happy new year to all our teammates watching Treasures of the Game.

00:47And to our unexpected teammates, recently, after new year, it's our resident subject matter expert's birthday.

00:55Doc, happy birthday, belated happy birthday.

00:58Do you want to say it or should we just hide it?

01:02Let's hide it first, sir. Thank you for greeting me.

01:05Well, anyway, because it's my partner's birthday,

01:09here in the hobby stadium, he received gifts from different personalities from the world of basketball.

01:19But Doc, before we get to that, please tell us about your birthday celebration experience.

01:26So, one week ago, Raf, we held a celebration here in the hobby stadium for my birthday,

01:32where our friends from different fields of basketball came.

01:38So, we have coaches, players, journalists, writers, and of course, fans who came.

01:45And who are the notable players and coaches who attended here?

01:52So, some of the players who came off-note were Sir Vin Singson, one of my idols growing up in Ginebra.

02:01And for the coaches, some of the coaches were Sir Pao Raselli from Chiang Kai-Shek.

02:07Our guests were star-studded.

02:14Anyway, Doc, I'm sure you're excited because even I'm excited.

02:18So, let's see what gifts Doc received.

02:22And of course, those who know Doc, they know what gifts he will receive.

02:27Of course, sports memorabilia.

02:29So, Doc, what's first on our list today?

02:32So, here, if you look at the table, this item is the biggest.

02:37It's the most eye-popping. You can see it right away.

02:41So, this is a sports bag.

02:43But it's not just any sports bag.

02:49So, if you look at the front, there's a Ginebra logo.

02:53So, this is from the 1996 PBA season.

02:57Sir Vin Singson used this.

03:00So, shout-out to Sir Vin.

03:04And we can see, Doc, on the side, his number is here.

03:08And there's also a signature.

03:10So, what's on it?

03:12All the best, Doc Mico.

03:14There.

03:15So, we know Sir Vin because his number, number 12, is engraved right here on the bag.

03:20And of course, we didn't miss the opportunity to have Sir Vin autographed this.

03:25And we can see, Doc, the quality of the bag.

03:29I don't think I'll ever see this kind of quality again.

03:34It's really different.

03:36Okay, Doc.

03:37Our next item is a T-shirt.

03:40Oh, yes.

03:41So, we're with the Ginebra team.

03:43So, this shirt, I acquired it last year.

03:47But since I was worried that Sir Vin Singson might pass away,

03:51they brought this to my birthday party.

03:53So, this is a T-shirt from that time, 1986.

03:57So, we can see that it's also made of ginebra.

04:01It's placed on the uniform of the caricatures here.

04:05Back then, in the 90s, our teams would make T-shirts

04:11with caricatures of players and coaching staff placed in front of the T-shirt.

04:17We can see, Doc, that this T-shirt has a very 90s art style.

04:22And please tell our fans watching this,

04:25who are the notable players that you can see here?

04:28So, in this T-shirt, we can see the roster of our 1996 Ginebra team.

04:35So, let's start from the top.

04:38So, of course, Sir Vin is the one attending our birthday celebration.

04:42There, Sir Benny Cheng, Novi Locsin, Marlo Aquino, EJ Pyle,

04:48Wilmer Ong, Maki Dehoya, and Sir Dodot, Vice Mayor Dodot Jaworski.

04:55Here in the front, there's JV Gayoso, Pino Jarencio,

05:01and of course, Sir Robert Jaworski Sr.,

05:04Bal David, and the assistant coaches, Sir Philip Cesar and Rino Salazar.

05:11So, they are the ones in this T-shirt with caricatures.

05:18Next, we have a jersey here.

05:21So, let's show our teammates what it is.

05:25So, in this jersey, it's related to the one that was given to me by one of the attendants of the party.

05:33He is Sir Cromwell Mandia.

05:37He is the Marikenio speaker.

05:38So, shout out to Sir Cromwell.

05:40So, this is the one that was given to me by a magazine in 1960.

05:46So, we can see here the Philippine team wearing their uniform back then.

05:53So, if we look at it, the look of the uniforms of our national team members is very simplistic.

06:02So, now, it's perfect because in the exhibit that I did,

06:06Sir Ralph also gave me a small exhibit of memorabilia for the attendees of the party.

06:14So, this is one of the ones that I exhibited during that celebration.

06:20So, this is an actual game-worn jersey of our Philippine team during the 1960 Rome Olympics.

06:29So, it fits perfectly with the magazine that Sir Cromwell gave to me.

06:35And Doc, the jersey that you were holding earlier,

06:37we can notice that it's number 15.

06:40So, can we say which player wore this jersey?

06:44Yes. The player who gave me this jersey is Sir Edgardo Roque.

06:49So, he played in the 1960 Rome Olympics and he also played in the 1962 Asian Games.

06:56So, the number that was assigned to him was one of the younger players back then,

07:03the higher number, 15.

07:05So, the captain of the national team at that time was the one wearing number 3.

07:11So, if you're the captain, you're number 3.

07:14Down the line, he changed, right? He became number 4.

07:17For example, in Slam Dunk, the captains were number 4 in their component.

07:22They were number 4 in their component.

07:23They were number 4 in their component.

07:24Yes, Maki and Pukit Jima.

07:27So, if we compare this to the jerseys of our national team now,

07:34the design of our uniform is very simple.

07:40So, we have the number and the seal of the Republic of the Philippines.

07:45And of course, the material is different.

07:49And on the back, there's no player's name.

07:52It's just the number.

07:54Very simplistic.

07:55The design of the jerseys is not yet very individualized.

07:59And there are no sponsors.

08:02And lastly, Doc, we have photo cards.

08:04And of course, we need to know who this is.

08:07Doc, take it away.

08:09So, these photo cards were given by Sir Dwight.

08:14So, this is like a birthday gift for me.

08:19So, shout out to Sir Dwight.

08:21Thank you for these items.

08:23So, these are two cards.

08:25So, these are Coca-Cola cards from 1974.

08:29What these cards feature is our national team that competed in the 1974 Asian Games.

08:37So, here, we have two variants.

08:40So, we have a portrait.

08:42So, here.

08:43And we have action shots.

08:45So, what we got, what was given to us, was from the President, Sir Ramon Fernandez.

08:51Now, Doc, when young people collect K-Pop photo cards,

08:57we already had that before.

08:59This is his version.

09:00Athletes.

09:02Legends of the game.

09:04So, Doc, since it's the new year and you also had a birthday recently,

09:08do you have a wish for this year?

09:10Raph, as a collector, my wish is that this year,

09:14I can encounter a lot of different and valuable memorabilia

09:20that I can add to my collection.

09:23And I hope I can meet a lot of basketball personalities.

09:29So, I can show some of those items to them and maybe I can sign them.

09:35So, maybe that's my wish for myself as a collector.

09:40And I'm sure, Doc, if you can do that, they will really appreciate it

09:43because we already know that our athletes are fans of sports

09:48and if they can see the items from the past,

09:52I'm sure they will have a special connection to it.

09:55But, teammates, that's where our episode for today ends.

09:59Pleasures of the game.

10:00Thank you very much again to the Hobby Stadium.

10:02Again, I am your host, Sir Pharrell Bandayrel.

10:04And I am Dr. Michael Rico Masina.

10:07And until next time, in Treasures of the Game,

10:10sharing treasures, sharing stories.
