I want to give everything that I got,” he said.Preparing for the game was effortless for Marlo, who was the declared and deserving rally winner among his peers. Aside from a cup of coffee, he was just as enthusiastic to be a player. “Wala akong talagang mental preparation. It’s just that I’m excited,” he expressed.He showed his determination even more as he reflected on the moments he enjoyed: “The questions… [also ‘yung] pag-step sa tiles, na kahit ang dami kong setbacks, patuloy akong nag-push,” he said.Come watch the rumblers every weekend as they compete for the P1 million prize.
