FIL-AM mixed martial arts superstar Brandon “The
13
Truth” Vera was a legitimate showcase at the Ulti-
mate Fighting Championship (UFC), and the fans
loved him.
This is because Vera was a mean fighter who
showed up looking to finish guys, which makes UFC
an interesting battlefield for fight fans.
His style is poised, skilled, violent, and most im-
portantly exciting not only to the eyes of fight fans
but also to other fighters.
A friend tabbed Vera “The Truth” because he won’t
b******t you. Vera is the real deal like the beer he is
endorsing right now—Red Horse Beer.
Vera is aggressive and “astig” like Red Horse Beer.
Vera admitted he enjoyed promoting Red Horse be-
cause he is clearly a very credible endorser of an
extra strong beer like Red Horse.

His kickboxing is considered by some to be the
best in the world. His jiu-jitsu is a smuggled weapon
that he dared you to discover. He had 11 years of

“The
Truth?”
Greco-Roman wrestling in his scaffolding, and was
a four-time All-American wrestler.
There was a US$7 million deal on the table for
him before he was 30 years old, which seemed low
at the time—this guy was a comet with a long fiery
tail, and his value was incalculable.
Vera had been very busy a few weeks ago, shoot-
ing the new Red Horse Beer commercial in the coun-
try. Vera Twitted “Been busy here in the Philippines.
Red Horse Beer has been awesome. Everyone here’s
been so cool. Love it here.”
“Here shooting the commercial. Can’t share the
storyboard or who’s in it. But, I did find out some of
the ladies on set train on the TRX!!!! That’s what I’m
talking about! I’m gonna put them thru a class. Hope
everyone the best...My itinerary will be posted. So
catch me if you can,” Vera said on Twitter.
Vera is a serious guy when he enters the UFC Oc-
tagon. So when the topic about Brock Lesnar cropped
up, a completely obsolete topic for a guy who no
longer fights heavyweight, he doesn’t care and he
doesn’t flinch.
He said at his weight he can’t fight Brock.
Vera was only fighting heavyweight just so he
could eat ice cream, his coach and mentor, Lloyd
Irvin, said.
Irvin said Vera could fight middleweight if he
wanted, with his lank 6-foot-3 frame beating oppo-
nents from other zip codes.
“He’s the reason I am in MMA,” Vera says. “I
remember back in the day at a grappling tournament,
Master Lloyd came up to me. I didn’t know who he
was at the time, and he said ‘hey man, I see you
cutting weight and doing all these things by your-
self. You’re doing a good job, keep it up.’ The day
that he told me that, that was the last tournament. I
was winning, but I wasn’t making any money in it. I
was done. Then he came up to me, and it changed
my mind.”
At his gym, Alliance Training Center in Chula
Vista, California, just below San Diego and eight miles
from the Mexican border, Brandon walks in the way
Master Lloyd Irvin remembers seeing him the first
time at a grappling tournament: Alone.
Nobody acknowledges him. Not the WEC’s Ed
“9MM” Ratcliff, who is jumping rope, not Dominick
Cruz, who is taping a glove, not the DJ spinning
tunes, not the 20 or so guys on the mats. Nobody. It’s
not that they don’t like him. They do. It’s just that
he’s as ubiquitous there as the heavy bags that form
a right angle along the far walls.
Now Vera is making waves in the mixed martial
arts scene. He truly treasures his roots.
Vera describes his father as “very Filipino” – he
wanted his kids to be dentists or lawyers. But Vera
went his own way, ditching a gig selling insurance

for Geico in favor of combat sports.
Vera speaks or rather can communicate in three
different languages—English, Tagalog, and Ameri-
can Sign Language (ASL). Why would he need to
sign, I wanted to know—was it because for a minute
there it looked like he’d be fighting Matt Hamill?
No, no, he says. It was youthful loinfire.
“When I was a freshman in college I dated a girl,
Josephine, a hot Puerto Rican girl, and she’s deaf. I
didn’t realize it until I called her name and she didn’t
respond, and her cousin told me ‘she’s deaf, stu-
pid.’ So I learned how to converse in sign language
in two weeks.”
While the rest of the MMA world began to treat
Vera the way gold prospectors treat pyrite, Irvin, who
cautioned Vera through thick, reinforced focus through
thin.
“You know, Brandon had a phenomenal rise in
the UFC,” Irvin says from 2,500 miles away, in Mary-
land. “He was knocking people out, finishing people,
and they were talking about him as the next biggest
thing. And that’s why I was trying to talk to him to
get his head level. You start getting money, you start
getting fame, and things happen. And it did. How-
ever, Brandon Vera remains adamant that the end is
still a long way off. Just like drinking extra strong
Red Horse Beer, Brandon Vera is hungry for more
even after a hard hit.

Ang kalbaryo ng kawawang biyuda
Dear Mr. Tulfo,
Humihingi po ako ng tulong
tungkol sa Death Claim Ben-
efits ng aking namatay na
asawa. Sumulat po sa akin ang
SSS - Cubao Branch at
sinasabing may kulang akong
dokumento na kailangan ipasa.
Isang babaeng nagngangalang
Mary Joyce Villanueva ay
kasama daw sa List of
Beneficiares ng aking asawa.
Sa aking pagkakaalam ang
aking namatay na asawa ay
may (1) isa lamang illegitimate
na anak na nagngangalang
Ma. Catherine Villanueva at
ang babaeng si Mary Joyce
Villanueva ay hindi anak ng
aking asawa. Hindi ko po alam
kung paano at saan
kokontakin ang babaeng ito.
Ang tanging nakakalam
lamang ng kinaroroonan ng
nasabing Mary Joyce ay ang
kanyang kapatid na si Ma.
Catherine na isa sa mga ben-
eficiaries ng aking asawa.
Ginawan na po namin ng
paraan para sila ay makontak
ngunit sila’y hindi tumutugon
sa aming mga text at tawag.
Kaya po dumudulog ako sa
inyong programa, kung paano
ninyo ako matutulungan para

makuha namin ang kanyang

naman ito kasiguruhan na

sa kasong double murder na

Okay din na kapag lumabas
sa kanyang pinagtataguan o
maaresto mula sa kanyang
pinuntahang bansa si Lacson
ay iuwi siya ng Pilipinas upang
malitis sa kasong kanyang
kinakaharap.
Okay na okay din bigyan ng
