LAP 9: Gorgeous in Shirts

 

Gaby still exudes her appeal even in shirts and jeans.

 

“I’m trying to get in touch with my more feminine side… I’m just really more of a t-shirt person eh --- jeans, slippers… I’m very casual. I like sports eh. For me it’s comfortability first then style.”

LAP 8: Keeping in Shape

 

Gaby makes sure she is also physically fit in the race.

“You have to be in shape…. I’ve been going to the gym, running. Coz it’s a lot of endurance…

 

That’s why I do a lot of sports also. It’s more or less like my cross training.”

LAP 10: Keeping Feet on the Ground

 

Gaby feels uncomfortable with the tag that she’s the best female racer in the country.

 

I wouldn’t really say that. There are a couple of well respected female racers also over here. I wish them luck also.

 

It did not seem like we were interviewing the hottest female race sensation in town, as Gaby made us so comfortable during our lunch at Dulcinea Morato. What actually transpired was a pleasant conversation with the AF3 star. She’s so natural.  She has no pretensions. She did not even mind the colds she had to deal with during the interview, just to accommodate us.

LAP 11: Miss Congeniality

 

Gaby has gained a lot of friends, males and females, for her natural friendliness. Just one of the cases, her former basketball buddies and even rivals are now with her on the football dream team she and a friend organized.

As our testimony, all throughout the interview, were laughter and spontaneous exchange of side stories between us and our interviewee. It shows how Gaby easily made us connect with her.
 
 

LAP 12: Certified Ka-BOTAK

 

Yahooo! Gaby wears BOTAK.

 

What has kept our joys uncontainable is the fact that Gaby is one of our certified Ka-BOTAK.

 

“What I come to realize… With basketball, most of our jerseys always came from you guys.

 

Then when I got into football, we also spoke to you guys. We tried other places also. But what I noticed is it’s the quality eh, you have good quality. Like football it’s a very rough sport, at the end of the season or like after a couple of games, things would start tearing up. With BOTAK, I didn’t really see a problem with that and that’s why we kept on coming back.

 

It’s really reliability… When you tell them (Customer Service Professionals) ‘okay you want this,’ you’re pretty sure that is what will come out. They’re very supportive. They’re accommodating --- the agents that you have there.”

 

Thank you so much Gaby for such heartwarming appreciation of Isport BOTAK. We also appreciate your comments and suggestions on how we can improve on our service.

That’s a wrap up of the 12 laps of reasons why Gaby is now on the speedy rise! She has proven the girl power in a male-dominated sport. At the same time, her overall personality, talents and capabilities fueled by her passion, shows that she can make it on the No. 1 finish in all her endeavors.

 

With all these, we’re certain we’ll hear more good things about Gaby. Since she started racing for the AF3 series, more and more attune to her next races.

 

Soon, the subsequent step is the world-famous Formula 1. Whether Gaby pursues it or a different race, we’re confident to see her racing to the top, being one of the future Filipino champions.  

 

 

Many thanks to Mr. Mikko David, Gaby’s manager, for his warm coordination with us regarding this special feature and for providing us the photos. J
