It takes a little bit of thinking to understand that. I need to give myself time. It’s a decision that’s pretty big.”
“If I’m willing to do all of those sacrifices again and be able to live with my life, that’s a long decision, long thinking that I need to do.” “I think I need that to process it and hopefully be able to fully commit and say with all my gut and all my being, I’m going to be there and represent the Philippines to the best of my ability.”For now, Obiena and his team are keen on fixing his back problem that needed a complicated procedure for him to be able to see action in Paris.
