EVER the loyal girlfriend, model Kisha Ancheta was a picture of ecstasy and relief as boyfriend Rey Nambatac and Rain or Shine carved out a valiant 112-104 victory over San Miguel to stave off elimination from the PBA Commissioner's Cup semifinals.

As the fiery ex-Letran Knight's chief supporter, Ancheta looked visibly nervous during the crucial stretches of the Elasto Painters' tight and frenetic Game Three showdown with the heavily favored Beermen.

Nambatac, who led the Rain or Shine local assault with 22 points, was especially effective at keeping his team afloat in the third quarter when SMB picked up the pace in hopes of finishing the series via a sweep.

For his efforts, the fiery sophomore was chosen MVP of the game.

Ancheta was all smiles as she stood by Nambatac's side during the latter's post-game interview, planting a kiss on his boyfriend's cheek in the middle of his brief Q & A with Apple David.

“Ang pogi niya, ang pogi niya doon sa part na ‘yun,” Ancheta told SPIN Life shortly after the game. “Nakaka-proud, kasi wala pa silang panalo [sa series] kaya buti na lang nanalo ngayon, may chance pang mag-Finals.”

After back-to-back loses Nambatac admitted that more challenges await as Rain or Shine still trail the series by a game, but Ancheta had faith ROS could get the job done even before the must-win third game began.

“Through ups and downs naman lagi akong nasa kanya eh," she said. "Sabi ko lagi siyang mag-pray kay God. Lagi ko siyang kinakausap, kahit minsan hindi na niya ako kinakausap kapag bad trip siya. Pero makulit kasi ako at lagi ko lang sinasabi na okay lang ‘yan, makakabawi rin kayo. Eh ayun, nakakabawi naman.”

During this crucial phase of the conference, Ancheta knows all she can do is support Nambatac 100 percent as he focuses on basketball.

She doesn't mind not going on their regular date nights and movie dates at this time, too. Just a simple dinner at home or lunch out after Sunday mass would suffice.

To ease his worries, Ancheta makes sure to cook for him even though sometimes Nambatac would tease her about her culinary chops.

“Minsan dinadalhan ko siya ng pagkain or minsan ako ‘yung nagluluto tapos after dinner uuwi na ako," Ancheta said. "Pinagluluto ko siya ng tinola pero sabi niya lasang nilaga. Eh sa Youtube lang naman ako nag-aaral ng mga recipe. Lagi siyang natutulog, pinagpapahinga ko na lang siya.

“Kapag Sunday kasi ‘yun talaga ‘yung date namin, punta sa church tapos kakain sa labas. Lagi ko naman sinasabi sa kanya na focus lang muna siya [sa basketball],” she added.”
