00:00 Magsanok! 3 points!

00:02 Ronnie Magsanok is known as a former professional basketball player and broadcaster.

00:07 But did you know that he was one of the instrumental players in the 1986 UAAP title of the Fighting Maroons?

00:14 This is Kyla Cortez and let's go back to the story of Point Laureate's UP.

00:29 In UP, it's hard to make a living.

00:32 In UP, you're like a stand-alone.

00:34 So it was more of trying to excel and be the best student possible.

00:39 At first, I really couldn't do it.

00:42 But eventually, as time went on, I got tired of playing and studying.

00:47 I was able to adjust eventually.

00:49 I needed to play to study.

00:51 I remember, to get my tuition fee, I had to fall in line for a long, long time

00:56 because there were a lot of people in line at his office.

00:59 I was in line under the sun.

01:01 It was really hard because it was hard to study,

01:03 it was hard to get subjects,

01:06 it was hard to judge the teachers of the special exams,

01:09 and it was hard to win.

01:11 So, what was our next win in San Bernardino,

01:14 when I was in grade school and high school,

01:16 that was the most difficult thing in UP at that time.

01:19 The schools who built dynasties then were

01:22 FDU, of course USD, and then UE.

01:27 So those were the powerhouse teams back then.

01:30 We were boys among men initially.

01:32 It took a while for us to be competitive,

01:36 but the difference-maker, no doubt, was Ben.

01:39 When good things come to those who wait,

01:41 one, two, nothing is easy in life,

01:44 and three, if you really want to survive, you really need to work hard.

01:48 I'm still proud of the fact that I survived the UP jungle,

01:52 which I always liked to look at back then.

01:56 So, even now, we're in a good school,

01:58 best situation to get one step closer to your dreams.

02:02 So it's a matter of believing in yourself,

02:05 and of course, working extremely hard.

02:07 The attitude and connection,

02:09 the players expect from the Spikers.

02:12 Just put one foot forward, take the next step,

02:15 because not everything is bad in life.

02:18 When I look back years after,

02:20 I said, "I'm thankful that I went there,"

02:22 because it trained me to be a tougher,

02:25 and hopefully a better person.

02:27 I hope you enjoyed Coach Ronnie's UP story.
