FOR now, Beau Belga’s contribution for Rain or Shine in the PBA Philippine Cup will be on the sidelines as he deals with vertigo that could sideline him for as long as a month.
Belga said he is on his way to recovery as he takes medications to address the vertigo which he has been experiencing for quite a while now.
Belga admitted it was a nervy situation since he first experienced vertigo during a vacation.

“Hindi ko rin alam,” said Belga, when asked how he got vertigo. “Actually, nararamdaman ko na siya ‘yung kapag galing sa yuko tapos bigla kang titingala. Nahihilo ka.”
“One time, bigla na lang. Actually, nasa outing ako, bigla na lang pumutok tapos nagpa-ER. So far, olay naman, nagte-take naman ako ng gamot na binigay. Sabi ng doktor, light workout lang muna hanggang sa paunti-unti ‘yung bumabalik ‘yung balance.”
“Nakakakaba kasi hindi mo alam kung kailan siya (act up). So far, so good naman. Pa-recover na,” said Belga.
The 38-year-old Belga said he is still feeling the effects of the vertigo but his condition has improved that allows him to be present in the first two games of Rain or Shine. He is waiting patiently for his return, knowing the Elasto Painters badly need the size that he can provide in an all-Filipino conference.
“Siyempre, ‘yung basketball is a game of balance. Kailangang may balance ka. ‘Yun ‘yung ino-overcome ko ngayon na bumalik sa dati,” said Belga.
“Mahirap. ‘Yung paningin mo umiikot. ‘Yun ‘yung ino-overcome ko ngayon na bumalik sa normal at maging balanse,” Belga added.
“So far, nakakabalanse na ako ng maayos. Nung una, out of balance, pakanan, medyo nahihilo ka. It’s more on recovery, ayusin ‘yung balance kasi basketball is balancing, shifting ng galaw. Good thing, tinututukan ako ng mga PT,” said Belga.
