                    [Summary] => I had the once in a lifetime chance to witness a world class event in Manila on July 12 to 14, 2005. It was the staging of the 1st MVP Cup at the Philsports Arena (formerly Ultra).  


It was a dream come true for a baddict (badminton addict) such as myself to watch my idols in a world class match to win the MVP Cup plus a cash prize of US $50,000 for the winning team. The loser gets a US $30,000 consolation prize.

The tournament was a match-up between Team Asia and Team Europe.

Ranked 24th in the world of mixed doubles, the Asuncions will certainly be the underdogs when they are pitted against England’s Nathan Robertson and Gail Emms who, incidentally, are the world’s No. 1 pair.

"But we’ll try our best to get as many points as we can. Ganoon lang ang focus namin. We don’t want to focus on the outcome because it will make you happy or sad," the 24-year-old Kennivic told scribes last Monday.
