As every baller wanted to be like Mike, so did every son want to be just like Dad. Paul Zamar proves this to be true in this Father's Day feature.
Should Paul Zamar encounter problems, he has his dad, Boycie, as a great example on how to handle such a predicament.
He admires the former national team and University of the East coach's patience, which the latter attributes to his faith.
Now that the younger Zamar was released by NorthPort, he could draw from the wisdom of his father, who tells him that God has a plan, and one must always trust it.
Paul shares more about the invaluable lessons he learned from his 59-year-old pop as Father's Day draws near.

Zamar: 'Yong patience niya. Kasi grabe ang patience niya, eh. Ilang beses na siyang naging coach ng mga teams.

God has a plan; trust his plan.'
