Coach Ato was a former PBA participant and was the coach of the Philippine Christian University when the Dolphins gained their lone NCAA title in 2004.

“You believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself, you believed in me when no one else did. I love you, Lo. No more pain,” Kyle wrote on his Instagram story on Sunday.
