REAL PRO

Sol Mercado made the painful decision to stay with Rain Or Shine Elasto Painters in their knockout game tomorrow against the Coca-Cola Tigers for the last quarterfinals berth in the PBA Fiesta Conference. Mercado was all set to fly back to the US to be with his ailing father, who suffered a heart attack few days ago. However, according to latest reports, Mercado’s father is now in better condition. Elasto Painters coach Caloy Garcia was highly impressed with the professional attitude of Mercado.

“Sol just showed he’s a real pro.”
