How will they prepare? At least, meron silang extra.

We just got confirmation, and when you talk of Olympians, kasama yung para-athletes diyan,” he emphasized.</p><p>“Initially, we have 15 sa Olympics, sa Paralympics natin meron na tayong apat, and there will be two more that will be officially announced pa.”</p><p>“Included lahat yan sila. Kung ilan man yan, mai-include yan, and masama din yung coaches nila,” he continued, while also sharing how their respective coaches and staff will also have their share in the money that will be raised.</p><p>“Ang aking chismis diyan is 75-25%, pero hindi pa nila alam yan,” he revealed.</p><p>Gaston said that they are expecting around 120 to 140 participants in the golf tourney which will be held at the Canlubang Golf and Country Club on June 14, and among those expected to play there is Barangay Ginebra San Miguel star LA Tenorio as well as other athletes and celebrities. </p><div><ivs-player data-ivs-key="e8c22c015ca9eafa76f1e3edfa03c603" data-ivs-spid="3001339" data-ivs-vid="3056280"></ivs-player></div><script src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/js/loader.js"></script>
