“Hindi po madali na tahakin ang pagiging manlalaro dahil napakarami pong… it’s beyond 24/7. Kung talagang dedicated ka, you have to put so much time and, as I said, ang importante po diyan, of course, ginagawa mo yung tama sa laro, ang decorum mo sa labas, at yung responsibilidad mo sa mga nanonood sa ‘yo. Wala pong sikreto. Ang sikreto lang ay ibigay mo ang lahat ng kakayahan mo sa ensayo…" says legendary basketball superstar Robert Jaworski, Jr.

Isang taon pagkatapos ng huli niyang laro sa PBA, tumakbo at nanalong senador si Robert Jaworski noong 1998.

Tumakbo siya for re-election noong 2004 ngunit sa pagkakataong ito ay hindi siya pinalad na manalo.

Tinanong ng PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) ang dating senador kung ano ang mga pinagkakaabalahan niya pagkatapos ng PBA at Senado.

“Of course, alam mo, napabayaan natin yung kabuhayan natin, e, sa pagmamahal natin sa trabaho, sa Senado.

“So, inasikaso ko naman at sa awa ng diyos, e, things are starting to move. I have some personal matters that I also attended to.

“So, okay naman tayo.

“But obviously, I’m constantly aware of what’s going on in our country—politically, sports wise, and otherwise,” sagot ni Jaworski.


WILL HE RUN AGAIN? Marami ang nagtatanong: babalikan pa ba niya ang pulitika?

Sagot ni Jaworski, “Ako po ay kagaya ninyong lahat, may mithiin para sa ating bansa.

“Whether I’m in or out of politics, I will do my humble share of contributing towards nation’s development.

“Mabigat po ang aking naging karanasan sa politika.

“Siguro po kung titingnan ang trabaho natin do’n ay may konsuwelo din po tayo, lalo yung mga bumoto sa akin, dahil marami po tayong nagampanan…”

Pero diin niya, “Wala pa  po akong tinatanaw diyan.”

Ibig bang sabihin nito ay tatanggihan niya kung sakaling alukin siya upang tumakbo muli bilang senador?

“Ang pinakamahirap sa tao, nagsasalita nang tapos. Kasi po hindi natin alam ang bukas.

“But I know what it is to be a senator, I know what are the responsibilities.

    nope, there's a huge difference between the players back then from the players now... the intensity is no longer as intense as before... Ginebra is still called the never say die team, but it's not the same... for me, Caidic ruined Ginebra...
