Welcome to another episode of Once and Always a Fanboy with your host, Chris Cantada Force. My guest today is someone I met in the most unexpected but awesome way—at a geek convention. He’s a pro athlete who’s just as passionate about pop culture as he is about putting up points on the court. As a key player for the Meralco Bolts in the PBA and a proud representative of the Philippines overseas, he’s consistently brought his A-game. And just recently, he added PBA Finals MVP to his growing list of achievements. He’s got the heart of a Ranger and the hustle of a champ. Fangirls and fanboys, Chris Newsome!
