Inspired by the $1,000 dollar pledge by Pau Gasol for every point he scored in a game vs Golden State, Mike Cortez of the Meralco Bolts is making his own pledge of P500 for every point he scores not just in 1 game but for the rest of the current PBA Philippine Cup.
I'm totally inspired by @paugasol gesture for Yolanda's relief efforts!! I'll donate P500 for every point I score for the rest of this conf!
