by rick olivares
The Rain or Shine Elasto Painters paid tribute to the
44 Special Action Force police who were killed last Sunday, January 25, at
Mamasapano, Maguindanao by wearing a black patch with the number “44” on their
jerseys during a match against the NLEX Road Warriors on Tuesday night at the
Smart Araneta Coliseum.
“We wanted to pay tribute to the 44 SAF personnel who
perished last week,” bared RoS head coach Yeng Guiao at the half. “It’s the
least that we can do – to sympathize with the families and colleagues of the
44. I asked management if it was all right to pay a special tribute and they
felt it was a good gesture. We are not making any political statements it is
simply our way of sympathizing.”
Added Elasto Painters gunner Paul Lee, “Grabe yung
nangyari. Kahit wala ka doon masakit yung pangyayari na yun. Gusto lang namin
maki-simpatiya sa mga pamilya ng mga namatayan. At sana bigyan sila ng hustisya
at tulong para sa mga pamilya ng mga nasawi.”
“It’s a tragedy,” lamented RoS forward Gabe Norwood. “It’s
a terrible thing to comprehend.”
