Otosan
This is the case of the organizers of the 5th Davao City Baseball Cup.
For the fifth straight year, elementary and high school teams in Davao City look forward to a competitive tournament after months of training.
The Tokyo Kichijoji Lions Club and the Datu Uchida Development Foundation officials teamed up with the help of sponsors in order to keep the tournament going on.
Despite the hard times, Davao-born Tatsuo Uchida, whose love for Davao just cannot be measured with words, rallied his friends from the Tokyo Kichijoji Lions Club to share in the tournament.
Otosan, as everyone calls him (meaning “Tatay”), was born in Tibungco, lived along Magallanes St. here and helped in running his father’s abaca business in Calinan. But at the age of 19, he went to Japan, that’s after World War II.
But he could not forget the land of his birth. He said that those who forget their homeland are not human. I was quite astonished by his statement during the DSA Forum because he feels more like a Dabawenyo, a Filipino. I suspect that those 19 years, he lived in Davao, were the most wonderful years of his life.
His father’s remains are in Davao and in his ripe age now, in the presence of his grandson Yusuke, world champion baseball coach Hidetoshi Suzuki and Foundation officer-in-charge Ines P. Mallari, Otosan bared that he intends to be buried beside his father in Davao when the time comes that his eyes shall have closed for the last time and forever.
Otosan’s statements drew applause from the other guests, and there followed a long moment of silence. I guess, many of those present will remember what he said for a long, long time.
The Datu Bago awardee cannot bear the thought that the well-loved sport of baseball which has brought many Davao kids together will die a natural death. But I fear that should Otosan eventually pass away many years from now, Davao baseball would probably die along with him. Unless Dabawenyos who have come to love the sport carry on where he has left.
This is what the Davao City Baseball Association must work on now, to keep the tournament going on for the kids. I am confident that with their honesty and credibility, moneyed company executives will trust that their funds will not go to waste if they will contribute to the development of amateur baseball in Davao.
But, I tell you, this early fellow-Dabawenyos, if you help baseball now, you won’t regret it.
