Pagkatapos ng basketball, pamilya ang buhay ni Patrimonio
Matapos magretiro sa basketball noong 2004, ang mga anak na ang inaasikaso ni
“I am busy but I am enjoying it. It’s not actually as physically taxing as before when I was playing,” wika ng 41-anyos na si Patrimonio, na kasali sa television commercial ng San Mig Coffee 100% Premium Instant Black Coffee. “I know in my heart that I can still do it if I want to, but I try to set those thoughts aside.”
At bakit naman hindi? Nakamit na ni Patrimonio ang maraming award sa Philippine Basketball Association (PBA), kasama na ang apat na Most Valuable Player (MVP) trophies. Nakapaglaro na siya sa ilang All Star Games, national teams at nakalaban na ang pinakamagagaling sa Philippine basketball.
Ngayong wala na siya sa basketball, puwede na siyang mag-artista ulit. ”If there’s an offer for let’s say, guesting, why not?”
”Like Samboy, Peter, Hector, Chito and Allan, I was thrilled when San Mig Coffee asked us to do the commercial. I think the TVC’s theme, Tapang at Diskarte, is inspiring. Simple lang yung treatment but it took us down the memory lane kaya nakakatuwa,” kuwento pa ni Patrimonio.
Ngunit kapag pamilya ang pinag-uusapan, nalulungkot si Patrimonio.
“But I was really happy last December when my family came back from Spain,” ani Patrimonio tungkol sa asawa niyang ni Cindi at mga anak na babaeng sina Christine (16) at Clarice (14), na nag-aaral ng tennis sa Valencia, Spain simula pa noong May 2006 kay Tomas Pecho.
Si Cristine at Clarice, umiidolo kina Maria Sharapova at mgakapatid na Williams, ay maglalaro sa isang local tournament patungo sa kanilang pangarap na masali sa mga torneo ng Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) at International Tennis Federation (ITF).
“Kung gaano ako kasaya sa pagdating nila dito last December, ganun din kalaki yung lungkot ko nung bumalik sila doon last Saturday (January 19),” ani Pa-trimonio .”Pero siyempre sacrifices have to be made. I am seeing that they are improving, so I am happy about it.”
Kasama ni Patrimonio ang panganay na si Angelo na pumasok na sa showbiz at dalawang-taong-gulang na si Asher.
