                    [Summary] => 

For 51-year-old Butch Ledesma, playing football is a passion. He enjoys being competitive at his age, sweating it out on the pitch every Sunday afternoon with the Blue Guards club at the Ateneo grounds, wearing a uniform and glitzy football shoes and joining friends for a beer after a match. Football isn’t just a game for Ledesma, it’s a way of life.

I first encountered Chris Monfort in second year high school, when I was still entertaining dreams of becoming a World Cup goalkeeper. He was this smiling, athletic, patient Ilonggo who had an exotic accent and an unusually endearing way of stringing English sentences together. I didn’t know it at the time, but he was still studying at UP, and wanted to start teaching. He made football fun.
