FOR Anjo Caram, being a key contributor doesn't just end when Meralco finishes either games or practices.
Once he's back home, the now-33-year-old takes care of his girl and boy toddlers, helping out his wife Jeanne.
He wouldn't have it any other way.
"As a father, mahirap din talaga 'yung ganitong work. Pagod ka pag-uwi, pero it's never an excuse. I always make sure I spend time with them, hands-on talaga ako sa kanila," Caram shared with SPIN.ph.
Power generation for the Meralco Bolt
With the Bolts doing much more extra work as they try to clinch their first-ever PBA title in their fourth try in the finals, the former San Beda stalwart said that he always does his best to still make the most out of his children's growing up years.
"Isa sa sacrifices talaga 'yung pag-uwi, dapat may energy ka pa rin kasi hinintay ka nila eh, they want to play with you. Yun yung challenge, pero ine-enjoy ko 'yung moments na 'to kasi alam ko, mabilis lang sila lumaki," he explained.
As such, being a father - by far - is the most rewarding experience for him, even going further by stating that he found his life's purpose when he and his wife decided to have kids.
"Sobrang sarap sa feeling na maging tatay, nagiging inspirasyon mo mga anak mo para maglaro at magpursigi pa sa buhay," he said.
