Danny I's explosion

Danny Ildefonso is one of the most respected active veteran players in the PBA today and seeing him that mad after Game 2 of the Finals against Barangay Ginebra at a fan would just make you feel shocked. He seems like this cool and calm guy and witnessing that scenario was just plain shocking. One would ask himself, what the hell did that fan do to make him that angry? Also, why was Mark Pingris, another fan-friendly type of player, also involved in that sitch?


Thanks to an info from a friend and from Ms. Patricia Bermudez-Hizon's blog, things were cleared. It seems that the fan, by the name of Ferdinand De Guzman Nervadez first taunted Jay Washington by saying vulgar words and the never-dying dirty finger. Seeing no success, this fan focused on Ildefonso by shouting, "Mamatay sana anak mo." We all know that his daughter has cancer and is one of the reasons why Ildefonso missed the 2009 All-Star Game. And any father who'd hear that statement would be totally and madly enraged!


I understand the side of those people who say that the two should have just let it pass but I guess I can side better with Ildefonso and Pingris. Come on! Put yourselves into Ildefonso's position, you're a father who's trying to make yourself stronger in facing these challenges, trying to be optimistic and just desperately praying for your child's health and betterment and now there's this jerk who shouts that at you? Oh my gosh, that's simply unforgivable for a dad.


About the penalties given? Damn, I hate to say this but I firmly disagree! After asking Danny and Mark to pay 30, 000 and 10, 000 respectively, they're gonna be suspended? Oh come on! The jerky fan wasn't even given any sanction, not even asked to stand and face the wall for a minute or at least suspended from watching the game due to his effffing behavior. Alright, I'm "quite" one-sided. So sorry, can't help but be one-sided! I just haaaaaaate what happened!

Haning, pareho tayo ng stand, see it in my blog. Dapat mareprimand din 'yung fan na 'yun sa actions niya. Hindi naman dahil sa bumili sya ng ticket (kung binili nga niya 'yun at hindi sponsored) ay pwede na niya gawin or sabihin lahat ng gusto nya. Tama sila na fans ang bumubuhay sa PBA, pero c'mon, ganyang klase ba ng fan ang bubuhay sa PBA??

Ang unfair di ba.. Ang nakakainis pa, it affects what others think of PBA fans, instead na magustuhan ng ibang fans na manood ng PBA, they won't kasi they think that it doesn't build good character or something. What a waste, that man looked like a real gentleman.. It was shocking na isang businessman pa ang gumawa ng ganun..

Korek! Atsaka, I believe na hindi sina Danny I at Marc Pingris ang dapat na sisihin sa situation. Hello?! Hindi sila manhid para hindi magreact, kahit ano pa sabihin nila. That "die-hard BGK fan" should be penalized!

medyo late itong post ko pero ika nga "huli man e naihahabol din".

Tama kayo, hindi tama ang ginawad na punishment sa dalawang SMB Players.

We'll just pray na sana hindi mangyari dun sa "FAN" na yun ang nangyari kay Danny I na me cancer yung anak nya.

Ganun talaga ata dito sa Pilipinas, hindi maintindihan ang batas....
