“The Talk ‘N Text Tropang Texters afforded retired team captain Jimmy Alapag one of the highest honors that can be given to a player after they retired the No. 3 jersey of the man they called the ‘Mighty Mouse,’” reports ABS-CBNnews.com.
The honor was given during half-time of the 2015 PBA All-Star game in Puerto Princesa, Palawan.
Attended by his family, Jimmy Alapag turned emotional when he received the honor, choking several times while addressing the Puerto Princesa crowd. He thanked the Talk n’ Text management “for taking a chance on him,” his teammates including Asi Taulava, his wife, actress LJ Moreno, and their kids; as well as the PBA fans.
The report quotes the retired basketball player as saying: “I’m proud of Philippine basketball, I’m proud of the PBA, and I know there’s only bigger and brighter things to have with the next generation of guys who will be competing and representing us in the years to come.”
