i'm willing to wait

Thank you, Coach Jess.

Thank you for believing in Rene, recruiting him, and giving him what many would say were the best two years of his young life. Through basketball, you gave Mindanao fans the opportunity to witness his talent, passion, and character on and off the court.

Despite his passing, we find comfort knowing how much Rene appreciated you and the journey you shared together. Whenever he spoke about his experiences, there was always pride and a smile on his face. Those memories, lessons, and opportunities will never be forgotten.

Rene's story touched countless lives, and a big part of that story was the guidance and trust you gave him. For that, his family, friends, teammates, and the entire Mindanao basketball community will always be grateful.

Thank you, Coach. Rest easy, Rene. Your impact will live on forever.
