TRIBUTES poured in for the late Ginebra player and former Ateneo stalwart Emilio ‘Nonoy’ Chuatico as news of his death in the US reached Manila on Saturday night.
From former teammates, colleagues, and even hardcourt rivals, everyone had nothing but praises for the 55-year-old Chuatico, who they described as a great leader on the court and a humble person off it.
