Ex-PBA player Cris Bolado dies in
motorcycle accident in Cambodia
Former PBA teammates of
big man Cris Bolado expressed
shock and grief over his untimely
passing on Sunday in PhnomPehn,
Cambodia.
Four-time league MVP Alvin
Patrimonio and Mythical Team
member and All-Star Jeff Cariaso
were both surprised to learn of
Bolado’s death.
The 6-foot-7 former National
University standout died in a
motorcycle accident in the
Cambodian capital, where he has
been traveling back and forth after
opening a restaurant there that
he named Inasal Nation: Home of
authentic chicken inasal.
He would have turned 48 this
October 25.
Cariaso, one of coach Alex
Compton’s deputies at Alaska,
added the hashtag #gentlegiant
and #luckycharm to his tweet.
Indeed,
Bolado
was
considered a lucky charm by
many teams he suited up for
because he won championships
with them, being a 2nd-round
pick (13th overall) by Alaska in
the 1994 draft, but he helped his
teams win 7 straight conference
championships.
He was with Alaska ‘94- ‘96,
with 5 consecutive titles including
the grand slam in 1996.
Bolado and Cariaso were
teammates at Alaska in 1995
and 1996. Bolado’s remains were
still in Cambodia at posting time,
but will be flown into the country,
where his wake will be held in
his native province of Lucban,
Quezon.●
