30 THINGS YOU WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT ALVIN PATRIMONIO (from Alvin Patrimonio Special Magazine of Scorecoard, November 1994)

ALVIN PATRIMONIO. - Mention the name alone and what comes to mind? Power basketball. Glamour. Two-time (going three?) Most Valubale Player Awardee. Twenty-five million pesos.
Indeed, now you know why every Tom, **** and Harry wants to be in his shoes. Hey, who wouldn’t be in the first place, huh? This guy, Alvin is simply one helluva lucky man.
Fan or no fan of Patrimonio, who’s currently at the forefront of Purefoods bid to wangle another PBA Title, Scoreboard now bares this dossier on the man who’s considered by most present day kibitzers as the greatest basketeer to have hit Philippine hoopdom. Mismo!

1. Alvin Patrimonio was born on November 17, 1966. (Horoscope sign: Scorpio). He is fondly called by close friends as Buboy.

2. Alvin’s early beginnings in the world of basketball started when as a young boy of 10, he would join inter-community cage tournaments where he would consistently emerge as the Most Valuable Player awardee. His idol was Andy Fields, the import of Toyota then. Alvin would at that early age, roll around a piece of towel, imagine it as a ball and then shoot in a ring.

3. He is second in a brood of four children born to Angel Patrimonio and the former Ophelia Vergara. His siblings are Allen, angel Jr. and his only sister Angelie.

4. Alvin took up his elementary education at Ellinwood School and his high school at Manila Science. He subsequently enrolled at Mapua Institute of Technology.

5. At MIT, he took up Civil Engineering where he reached up to third year college. He was getting good grades in his studies until his many basketball commitments took their toll and eventually surrendered his hopes of earning a college degree.

6. His early frustrations in basketball included the following bummer trails: Before going to MIT, he tried out for La Salle with the hope of making it to the varsity squad but was subsequently discarded from the official line-up. He tried out for the National Youth Team in the early 80’s but failed to make the cut for the final 15. His first six games with the MIT Cardinals in the NCAA were all losses.

7. Alvin was named Most Valuable Player of the NCAA in 1985 and 1986. He was already a member of the national squad dispatched to Korea in 1985 where the team placed third.

8. His first PBL (then PABL) team was Hope where he got a P4,000 monthly allowance. His next tsop was YCO (now disbanded). During his stint with the YCO Waxmasters in the PABL (1986), Alvin was adjudged Most Valuable Player of the tournament, was named Rookie of the Year and earned a grandslam of sorts by capturing the King of slum Dunk Title.

9. After YCO disbanded in 1987, Alvin transferred to the RFM ballclub where he strutted his stuff for Swift Hotdogs.

10. Before his contract with Swift could expire, the Purefoods Hotdogs team gave Alvin an offer he couldn’t refuse. Alvin requested Swift if it could release him, a full six months before his contract would expire in December 1988. Alvin was eventually signed up by Purefoods in the middle of 1988 in time for the All-filipino conference. His first game as a professional was against the Presto team. Purefoods lost that encounter spoiling Alvin’s pro debut.

11. He signed a lucrative 2-year contract with the Purefoods team. One of his first coach in the PBA was the “Maestro” Baby Dalupan.

12. Alvin’s first stint in the movie world was in “Last Two Minutes” where he co-starred with Jerry Codinera and Paul alvarez. The film was entered in the Metro Manila Film Festival and emerged top-grosser, raking in an unpredecented P22 million after only a week of exhibition. His next full length movie was "Dobol Dribol"”with Maricel Soriano.

13. Alvin’s first appearance on television happened in the then popular “See True”, hosted by Inday Badiday, where he guested and sang “Holiday” during the show’s anniversary presentation held at a yacht cruising Manila Bay. Alvin celebrated his 21st birthday in the program “Vilma”, hosted by Vilma Santos, at the Metropolitan Theatre.

14. Alvin, together with Jerry and Paul, was also a mainstay of the television sitcom “Last Two Minutes” which was aired on Channel 4. The show was produced by Regal Television. And lasted for only two seasons.

15. Alvin opened up a bakeshop business in a joint venture with Jerry Codinera and a lady friend. The bakery, located in Greenbelt, Makati, did not last long though.

16. Alvin has three kids, the oldest of which is named Angelo James Patrimonio. He hopes to have more kids and dreams of having a basketball team of Patrimonios.

17. Alvin wore jersey No. 6 when he first played for MIT. He wore jersey No. 16 for YCO and since then, he has always donned jersey number 16.

18. Alvin hammered out what is considered to be the biggest ever contract in the local pro loop in 1991. The unprecedented, unequalled five year pact is worth a whooping 25.3 million (that roughly translates to 5.06 million a year, P420,000 a month and P92,000 per game).

19. It was actually Pepsi which tendered an offer sheet worth P25 million when Alvin’s first contract with Purefoods would not match that offer sheet but got the surprise of their lives when Rene Buhain and Don Jaime Zobel, Purefoods’ big bosses, finally matched the Pepsi proposal.

20. Alvin has won the PBA Most Valuable Player award twice the first time in 1990, and the second one just last year when he edged out buddy Jerry Codinera and Nelson Asaytono in a very close fight.

21. Alvin’s biggest idol in the PBA is Ramon Fernandez.

22. Alvin now lives in a mansion in Cainta, Rizal. It took several years (and millions of pesos) before that house was finally completed.

23. Alvin is basically a homebody. Whenever he’s free from his basketball practices and games, he’s usually at home playing with the kids, listening to music, playing computer games and watching laser discs.

24. When he goes out, his favorite places are Rhythm and Booze, Jazz Rhthyms, Faces, Euphoria, Mars. His nightlife has considerably changed when he reached the age of 25. He’d rather spend his precious free time at home.

25. Alvin has done several TV commercials. The very first commercial which he did was for Rexona when he was still an amateur. Of course, he has done several commercials for Purefoods, Swatch, Kaypee and Gift Gate, and most recently, for Lipovitan energy drink.

26. Alvin is very close to his fans. It started when some six years ago, he hosted a fans day at their BF Homes Resort residence then in Las Pinas. The whole street was, believe it or not, filled with so many fans. He spends time with them signing autographs, posing for snapshots, a trait which a lot of fanatics have loved. He has several fans club, the most active of which is the Solid Alvin Patrimonio Fans club.

27. He did “Tasya Fantasya” with Kris Aquino, amovie which unfortunately bombed out at the box-office. From thereon, Alvin now believes he has to be more careful in choosing movie assignments he will be accepting.

28. Alvin is a Protestant. He goes to church every Sunday somewhere in Paco with his whole family.

29. He doesn’t smoke, and avoid hard drinks. When it’s off season however, Alvin boozes up with close friends and relatives during occasions.

30. Alvin’s full name is ALVIN DALE VERGARA PATRIMONIO. He’s been given two monickers – The Face and The Captain.

2003: Some facts remembered by idolkosicap based from what she had red before..... (thanks idolkosicap)

1: Alvin will be celebrating his 36th birthday on November 17. Most people now call him “Cap”.

2: Alvin used to play in their backyard against his much bigger relatives

3: His father Angel died a few years back due to a lingering illness.

4: Alvin still wants to study in the future if he’ll have the time but he wont continue with his course and just take maybe a computer course.

7: Alvin has joined other RP teams, making it to four Asian Games.

11: Alvin has been under a number of coaches including Ramon Fernandez, Cris Calilan, Dalupan, Ely Capacio, Chot Reyes, Eric Altamirano, Chito Narvasa, Derrick Pumaren and Ryan Gregorio. He’s also now into assistant coaching and may get into head coaching in the future.

12: Alvin no longer pursued a showbiz career and just concentrated on basketball which is a good choice.

15. The lady friend was Jill so it was named Jerry Jill & Alvin’s Bakeshop.

16. His kids are Angelo James, Anna Christine and Anna Clarice. Alvin and Cindy do want to have another child but Cindy may have a difficult time because she had an ectopic pregnancy a few years back.

17. 16 was the jersey number of his father Angel so he chose that number.

18 Alvin still has one of the biggest contracts in the PBA.

19 Alvin has stayed with Purefoods eversince and he wants to retire with Purefoods.

20: Alvin now has four season MVP’s, 1991, 1993, 1994 and 1997. He’s trying for a 5th one but if it does not come, it’s okay, he’s already made his mark.

21: His other idol is Robert Jaworski. It was Ramon Fernandez who advised Alvin to marry early so he can concentrate on his career and family.

22: The Patrimonio family still lives in their Cainta home which has undergone some renovations. Their neighbors include Rina Jimenez David and Elmer Yanga.

23: He’s still a homebody and still have the same hobbies like playing computer games, listening to music but since laser discs are things of the pass, vcd’s and dvd’s are what he watches.

24: Most of the places mentioned are already non-existent. Places he usually goes to these days are the malls or goes out of town to resorts and beaches.

25: He has done other commercials aside from those already mentioned including the “Sali” commercial for a milk product, the “Batang Alvin” for Purefoods and the latest is his commercial with son Angelo for Growee.

26: He still treats his fans so well that’s why he remains to be well-loved by fans and non-fans. The Solid Alvin Patrimonio Fan Club is still around, still avidly showing their support.

27: Kris considers Alvin as her first True Love and even entertained the thought that they can get back together during the time when Alvin and Cindy were having marital problems. Alvin is the love Kris never got and I wonder if she has really gotten over Alvin as she mentioned in her column some months back. It’s a good thing Alvin made the right decision to stick it out with Cindy.

28: Alvin, Cindy and their kids are now with Victory for Christ Church where they attend Sunday services somewhere in Greenhills. Alvin is an active member of Champions for Christ.

30: It’s actually just ALVIN VERGARA PATRIMONIO, no Dale in the name. The Captain has stayed on as his main monicker but it has also evolved to Captain Lion Heart. Alvin’s also now “Iron Man” of the PBA.
