Yuri Escueta brings Spider-Man to PBA bubble

Published


It was just 17 months ago when a fan dressed as Spider-Man disrupted Game Five of the PBA Philippine Cup Finals between San Miguel and Magnolia.

And now he is inside the PBA bubble to trick or treat.

Bringing Spider-Man to the Smart Clark Giga City was TNT Tropang Giga assistant coach Yuri Escueta.

The 36-year-old Ateneo product went around the sixth floor of Quest Hotel, knocking on doors to ask for treats.

No candy? He’ll bother the hell out of you.

Besides trick or treating on TNT players, he also knocked on the doors of some Blackwater players — their floormates.

Documenting it was fellow TNT assistant Sandy Arespacochaga, a funny fellow as well in his own right.
