I first heard about the Homeless World Cup from Darwin Mendoza, the president of Quezon United Football Club. He contacted me and suggested I try out. My first thought was that this is an opportunity for me, and somehow, somehow this may help me change my life.
First of all I will contribute [to this team] with discipline, for my teammates to follow. I will do anything in my capacity to help the team. I invited my brother, Mark, to try out because I knew the organizers were looking for a goal keeper. It will be very easy to play with my brother. It will be easy for us to adjust and communicate.
I think it will help the team.
My dream for my life and our family is to alleviate ourselves from poverty. I want to pursue anything that will change our lives. I am not content with our situation. It does not matter to me what type of job I do. I have sold balut.
I have a degree in welding, like my brother, from Southern Luzon State University. I have had one opportunity to use that degree, in a small contract in Laguna. I will never pass up an opportunity to use that degree.
If I am a spokesperson in Rio for the homeless people in our country, I would say that poverty is not a hindrance to success. The number one hindrance is laziness. Number two is lack of discipline and persistence, and lack of confidence and will.

Hi, hindi pa po Azkals si Lexter, isa po sya sa player ngayon ng Kaya-FC, division 1 at semi-professional team dito sa atin. Kasama po nya sa team ang mga Azkals na sina Anton del Rosario at Ally Borromeo… pero sana dumating din ang panahon na maging miyembro nga sya ng Azkals. Salamat sa suporta. 🙂
