Friends are the greatest gift anyone can have and a good friend is not only priceless, but will enrich one's life in ways one could never have realise. So, it is only fitting that I include some of my best friends here as a means of thanking them, and as a tribute for all they have given me over the years. Each in their own unique and special way.

Meet my Filipino Friend - Rigoberto Laguio III - known as Jun or Junior - and some of his Family and Filipino Friends

Rigoberto is a dear friend of mine who lives and works here in Wales. We met in the gym and, over a period of time, became good friends.

Though Rigobarto is known as Junior or Jun for short by his family, I refer to him as Rigo. I have also met his brother and family as well as other members of the Filipino community here in Swansea.

I have had the bounty of spending some good times with these friends and below are some of the pictures taken, whilst spending time with them.

Thanks to you all for allowing me to place your pictures on my site. - Diolch yn fawr - John

This picture of Rigobarto I took in Cardiff - Wales - August 2007
 

THE SWANSEA KNIGHTS

2008 sees the creation of a new Filipino Basket Ball Team in Swansea.

THE SWANSEA KNIGHTS

The team will play its first official game with their new kit in April 2008.

You can see the design of the new kit here.

The New Design of the "Swansea Knights" was co-designed by Rigo and myself.
