Last weekend, November 4-5, was great for doctor pitufo and union fc. We celebrated a good victory in the ongoing Terry Razon Cup, or the champions league in Philippine football. And this was a spectacular climactic end to the visit of Hide Nakata, who came, played futkal and conquered. We are quite grateful to some "behind the scenes" folks who aren't taken to too much publicity but nevertheless needs the proverbial pat on the back... Gang Badoy, thanks for making this possible, you're great... rock ed people like Peter "pitufo pedro amore", glenn; Union FC coaches especially our brazilian cara, Romario Gaucho, and the countless people of UNDP who came to organize, support and just be lending feet (never hands, in the world of futkal!). Sadly, the big guns of Philippine football weren't there at all, hmm... what's going on there in that political side of the world? Let me make mention though that Jojo Rodriguez of NCRFA called me the morning of Hide's arrival to signify his support for this momentous event... thanks man. Now, going back to what transpired this weekend of November 4 and 5... to those who came to the doc pitufo "life begins at 40" party, gracias mil ! As Union fc tradition would have it, we had the classic "churrasco" style beef, prepared by the master chef of Prime Beef co., followed by bottomless beers! The event wouldn't have been complete without the impromptu futkal sans "kalye", this time kicking around in the bermuda grass. Andthus, after 4 cases of san mig lights, a dozen kilos of beef and 20 bottles of various merlots, pinot noirs and shiraz's, the party ends, only to culminate with the victory of union hogadores versus the san beda fc last Sunday.... what a glorious end.
