BIG SHOES TO FILL Kylle Magdangal, 16 years old and 5-foot-11, hopes he can follow the footsteps of his father, Kenneth Duremdes, and play for the Philippine national team someday. Truly, Duremdes casts a big shadow on Magdangal, who admits he has to continue the legacy created by his father. Duremdes, meanwhile, confirmed his son is a Philippine passport holder, making him eligible to play for the national squad. Even before he became a star player in the PBA, Duremdes was one among the few amateur standouts chosen by Norman Black to beef up the San Miguel Beer-reinforced Philippine team to the 1994 Asian Games. According to Duremdes, Magdangal is so dedicated and not even the Covid-19 pandemic could slow down his son from continuously working out and improving his game.
