Saw Gerry Penalosa once in the Elorde boxing gym back here in Manila. Classy guy. Unfortunately, didn't have my camera/cellphone with me so wasn't able to take pics and in the heat of the moment even forgot to ask for an autograph. I know.. how terribly stupid of me. I don't know, but for some reason I still think if manny pac and gerry penalosa were both there and I just had to pick one guy to meet it would have been Gerry. Weird.

Also met the grandsons of Gabriel "flash" Elorde (pro boxers but certainly nowhere near their gramp's level) several times on the restaurant I worked at which was beside the gym they own.
