?Yeah, Manny was well advised on the increase on the load and he approved it,? Fernandez and Fortune chorused in separate interview on Sunday.

?Kondisyong-kondisyon na si Manny noong mag-start kami ng camp so, there really?s no problem as far as his lasting power and stamina is concerned, assistant trainers Nonoy Neri and over ?Haplas? Fenandez, chorused.
