KAMAG-ANAK, INC.! When nepotism rears its ugly head in sports ... Here's a funny skit involving a meeting between the board of directors of a winless football club and its head coach. They discuss about their athletes:

Head Coach: Now sir, I won't have a word said against those lads. I look on those lads like, well, a father looks on his sons, sir.

Chairman: They are your sons, Rawlinson!

Head Coach: Coincidentally, sir, yes.

Chairman: I suppose that's why we signed our new left winger.

Head Coach: Sir, that left winger is there for reasons of skill, pace, and experience."

Chairman: And because she's your mother?!

Head Coach: There is a family connection, sir, yes.

In Honor and Remembrance of Sir/Coach Alan Baluyot

“My journey in MMA began when my late father encouraged me to try wrestling. A former wrestler from California, he became my first coach and biggest influence.” - Eros Baluyot, Filipino MMA champion

In remembrance: Eros’ late father, Alan Baluyot (shown at the start of the linked IG video, on the left reaching out to hold his son), was a true-blue wrestler to the very end. As mentioned by the champion, his father wrestled in California in high school and, upon coming back to the Philippines, eventually founded, managed, and co-coached the Parañaque City Wrestling Team, with his son Eros becoming one of its top wrestlers.

The father and son, representing their city team, actively participated in wrestling tournaments and multi-sport events that featured their chosen sport. And Alan soon organized two successful editions of the Parañaque City Wrestling Cup in cooperation with the Parañaque City LGU. Fondly called Sir Alan or Coach Alan, he built bridges to promote wrestling in his home city and beyond. For Sir Alan, wrestling was about building bridges—not burning them.

Aside from coaching Eros in wrestling competitions, Alan also brought his young son to MMA events in the 2000s. Back then, Eros was a passionate young fan courteously shaking hands and mingling with local MMA fighters. And now, to say that Eros has become more than just a fan of MMA is, without a doubt, a gross understatement. ;)

Sir Alan Baluyot is sorely missed and must never be forgotten by the Philippine wrestling community, and we shall always be grateful to him for all his contributions and forever honor his memory.

My journey in MMA began when my late father encouraged me to try wrestling. A former wrestler from California, he became my first coach and biggest influence. From there, I went on to compete in Wrestling tournaments in the Philippines and Jiu Jitsu tournaments around the world where I won gold in IBJJF World Championships twice. And in 2022, I finally took the leap and began my MMA career with a current undefeated record of 7-0 This is a reminder to keep your dreams alive. Thank you to my family, friends and everyone who believes in me 🙏🏻
