If NLEX rookie Xyrus Torres were given free tickets to any summer destination with his loved ones, a teammate and idol athlete, where would he go?
If you find solace in nature watching, there’s probably no other place like Switzerland for you.
From Lake Zurich to the Swiss Alps and the Chillon Castle, Switzerland offers so much for nature lovers and, well, those who simply want some peace and quiet surrounded by a picturesque view.
That is why it is the perfect summer destination for NLEX rookie Xyrus Torres.
The former Far Eastern University standout opens up about his dream country — the birth country of tennis legend Roger Federer and the shooting location of a popular K-drama — in his quick conversation with One Sports.
One Sports: If you were given a free ticket to any summer destination with a LOVED ONE, who would you bring with you, where would you go and why?
Xyrus Torres: For me, 'yong dream namin ng fiance ko is Switzerland. Mahilig kami kasi sa mga views. Basta lahat ng magagandang views, pinupuntahan naming.
OS: Is there any specific activity that you would want to do there?
Torres: Siguro, camping. Mga ganoon lang.

OS: If you were given a free ticket to any summer destination with one TEAMMATE, who would you bring with you, where would you go and why?
Torres: Si Kuya Tony Semerad. Same din, Switzerland. Kasi si Kuya Tony, one of the leaders for me. Gusto ko siyang isama kasi alam kong kapag may pupuntahan kami, makatutulong siya for us. Camping din [ang gagawin namin].
OS: If you were given a free ticket to any summer destination with your IDOL ATHLETE, who would you bring with you, where would you go and why?
Torres: Atleta? Parang ang dami, eh. Siguro, 'yong dad ko. Kung puwede, isasama ko rin ang mom ko. Kasi all throughout, nag-support sila sa'kin. Gusto ko mag-give back.
OS: Is your father a former athlete himself?
Torres: Yes, pero hindi naman siya player na sikat 'yong pinaglalaruan. Basketball din [ang nilaro niya] sa mga provinces.
OS: Where would you like to take your father?
Torres: Sa Japan. Mahilig siya sa mga city lights, mga panggabi. Kaya doon ko siya isasama. Mag-iikot-ikot kami sa kainan kasi 'yon din ang hilig niya, food din. Hahanap kami ng mga restaurants kung saan puwedeng mag-chill.
