This was the painful statement of Jon Jon Tabique, point guard of the University of the Philippines Fighting Maroons. He had a budding basketball career, helping the state university rebuild into a contender in the UAAP. Then, in October of last year, Tabique was shocked to find out he had lymphoma.

Cancer.

Mama-malas sa kanya ang mga pagkakaiba sa pangangatawan. Lumiit siya, at wala nang buhok.

Ang dahilan: itong point guard ng UP Fighting Maroons ay may cancer.

"Ang lakas makapanlambot ng chemotherapy," paliwanag niya. "Nakaka-depress pati. Tulad ngayon, di ako makapaglaro. Saka sa family ko, ang laki ng epekto lalo na yung Daddy ko, biglang umuwi kahit di siya pinapayagan."

Nabigla ang lahat nang malamang may cancer of the lymph nodes si Jon Jon.
