The one and only tower of power benjie paras sa loob ng court halimaw off court npka humble na tao kya deserve nya n maging masaya kasama wife nya

[@SolutionFinishPH]

Na enjoy ko to panoorin, ma f feel mo yung KABAITAN ni Benjie. I grew up watching him as a great player pero dito yung kabaitan and pagiging humble. More blessings Sir to you and your Family!!!

[@aurevirubaldo8285]

Ka-Barangay ko si Benjie sa Dona Maria St. Santol Sta. Mesa Manila. Magaling mag piano yan. Yung Kapatid niya si Cynthia ang laking babae nasa 5'9 > Lola Enchang Lola ni Benjie pag pumapasok sa eskuwela pinapayungan pa siya.... Naglaro si Benjie Grade 6 team niya BAGWIS . Minsan pag drive nya sa basketball nalublob ang paa sa kanal... pag si benjie tinitira ng kalaban niya sa basketball liga magagalit lola niya papaluin ng payong nanira kay Benjie. Yung uncle niya si Randle , minsan nag driver din ng jeep sa Santol Stop & shop mahusay kumanta at nanalo sa Bagong Kampeon.

[@stamesamanilapicaliforniau9304]

Hi there, 💜💜💜💜💜 Benjie Paras, I don’t know him well enough, but when I had TFC, I got to see him from time-to-time. I wanted to know his life, so I watched the video and started reading the comments. He lost a lot of weight and he looks so fragile. Simple, soft spoken and very humble. 💜💜. I was born and grew up in V. Mapa Sta Mesa, Manila. back of us is Reposo. There was a basketball court. My place was Corner of Ramon Magsaysay Blvd/V. Mapa Sta Mesa. Jeepneys, papasok dito, tapos baba ka na sa Pagasa Street at tuloy-tuloy na hanggang pagikot paakyat sa San Juan River Bridge. Jeepney’s signed San Juan, Sta Mesa/Quiapo and return. Diyan kaming nagsisimba sa Sacred Heart Catholic Church. Alam ko ang Stop and Shop. Pero noong nagbalikbayan ako wala na Stop n Shop. Nakakagutom pag dumadaan kaming sa Stop and Shop. Mga foreigners ang mga nakatira diyan at ang mga bahay ay mataas na mga fences. Maraming na ngayon mga jeepneys nahihintay sa tapat ng dating Stop and Shop. Jeepneys’s Stop. May classmate ako nakatira sa Santol. Laging ako sa Maynila, lakwatchera ako. I went to P. Burgos Elementary School. Maganda pa ang Burgos noong. Yon lugar namin ay maganda din noong, but then I saw on KZbin, pangit na, masikip, madumi at dikit-dikit pa. Lumiit yon aming kalsada. Anong nangyari? Today’s date is April 15, 2024, Monday night in California USA 🇺🇸. I live in the States for many years now. I miss Manila.

[@martindonato8024]

I am a longtime PBA Fan and I am fortunate to have witnessed the greatness of Benjie Paras when he played for Shell. Wala pa nakakabreak ng record niya when he won the MVP and Rookie of the Year Award in his first season. Ang bilis din ng transition niya from PBA to showbiz. Mahusay na komedyante and family man.

[@fredalumiked1969]

I remember that tine na nag MVP c benjie first time kong magustuhan na manood ng basket ball at sya lang ang player na sinubaybayan ko❤❤❤im one of his fan in his time 😊

[@colleencaringal7992]

Sobrang humble ni benjie paras i love when he said na naitatawid nya.. sbrang simple pinoy na pinoy… chaka un snabi nya sila un nagpasikat sakin… grateful.. love u benjie paras

[@michaelandmichael0609]

"Mga nagpasikat sa akin" so humble of you Idol

[@titojeem5598]

Ganyan talaga pag genuine humble yung tao kahit gaano ka layo pa ang kanyang narating nya eh hindi nya aakuhin lahat sa sarili nya yon kasi naniniwala sya na may mas makapangyarihan pa sa kanya na nag lagay sa kanya dyan, kung ano at sino man yon ay nasa paniniwala na ni Benjie yon, kaya humble sya. Pero sa totoo lang walang katulad ang Benjie Paras sa basketball at sa pagiging ama, di man kami magkakilala pero nakikita kong isang napakagaling at matagumpay na ama si Benjie.

[@frankjulianisurda3606]

Soft spoken, humble, intelligent at may sense of humor..🚐👍🏼

Napakabait na tao nito, stand out yun character n'ya all 4 corners. Role model talaga.

[@janice8523]

I was in college in Manila in the early 90’s, watching Bennie Paras as a basketball player, he was my idol, among all the PBA players…watching this now, it’s the first time after decades that I’ve seen him again, and I couldn’t be more than happy to see my idol again, and how a great life he has made for himself and his family…he is still my idol up till now!

Inspiring ka S’Benjie. Kudos to you in honoring your mom and grandma. Sana magka project ka ukit sa ABSCBN. 😊😊😊

[@ponypower8]

I was 18 when I met Benjie Paras (he probably doesn't remember me) in a small gathering at the home of a common friend. Paras was on his 2nd (?) PBA season so he was really very popular at that time. All I can say is that although he was so famous at that time, he was very down-to-earth, no air of arrogance at all. Funny, too.

[@crisantobabijis6861]

I saw him in Megamalla and simply great him sir Benjie. He said hoy kumusta and smiled at me. Parang ordinaryong tao lang na naglalakad hindi ko natiis he's one of my idol in PBA. Very humble in person.

[@HerbiderbsM]

I saw him several times when we were both students in UP back then and he just acted like an ordinary student. Tumatambay-tambay pa nga sa waiting shed kasama ng mga kaibigan niya. :-)

[@marcelamarquez7916]

Hay naku idol nmin si benjie sa pba noon👍✌️✌️✌️God bless your family pa more🙏🙏🥰

He’s a gentle mannered soft spoken but deep and intelligent.

[@ButchiRC]

Nagpunta si sir Benjie dito sa Dubai para sa independence day celebration at me ineendorse sya na services from pinas, nung nalaman ko nandoon sya, tamang tama pa naman kasi nagparticipate anak ko sa sagala, agad ko sya hinanap ako nagpa picture ako at nagpa autograph. Napakabait nya. Sya yung favorite player ko sa PBA and nung nagdisband ang shell, di na ako masyado nanood. Tapos napanood ko tong video nya with miss Karen, almost parehas pala kami ng buhay, especially sa father, tapos mahilig din pala sya sa die cast. Di ko lang sineryoso ang basketball kaya sayang pero ok lang kasi same naman kami na gusto itaguyod ang pamilya. Mabuhay po kayo sir Benjie, tower of power, ROY MVP! Shell turbochargers!

[@GerardMacugay]

Napaka humble ni idol Benjie, sa pananalita palang alam mong di sya mayabang, idol tlga!

[@alelirafols9699]

Ang yayamanin pla ni Benjie Paras, in all the aspects of his life, not only in terms of finances. Humble and hardworking, that seems his character that made him prosper. Even on air, whatever role he does, his expression is one of humility and seriousness in his seemingly natural aura.

[@hannalybolasoc6214]

Super bait po cy nang minsan mag extra ako sa isa sa teleserye nya, nakipagkwentuhan po cy sa akin❤️ Napakahumble po nya kaya alam kong mabuting family man cy.

I chanced upon this video feature. I was not a fan of Ms Davila but i like the way she handled the interview. She is in control and knows how to press the right button - - at the right moment. Benjie is relaxed, poised, honest and natural. He has a colorful career and life story. He is a local basketball legend and a made man.
