EXCLUSIVE: ONIC’s Brusko Reveals Plans to Move to Indonesia
He says it like it’s nothing.
“Sa Indonesia na ako titira eh.”
But it is something.
It’s everything.
He’s talking about the future now, about saving up, starting a business, about moving.
He says it again, like he’s testing the sound of it in his mouth: Indonesia.
“May balak din kami mag-business pero sa Indonesia na.”
The decision sounds simple, but it carries the weight of distance and devotion. His fiancée, Uayfu, lives there: She’s an RRQ talent whose world is both familiar and foreign. The plan, then, is to follow. To build a life from the pieces they’ve already gathered, between tournaments and airports.

“Feel ko naman kaya, kasi marunong na ako mag Bahasa Indonesia,” he says. He laughs. The kind of laugh that hides a nervous certainty. “Pero hindi ko alam yung formal, yung informal lang. Pero kaya ko makipag-communicate sa kanila.”
He’s asked if that means the end of his career here, the one that made him Brusko of ONIC PH, the one that taught him to fight and to lead.
“Possible, or coach siguro,” he says. Then, after a pause, “Pero bago ako mag-retire sa Pilipinas, gusto kong makuha muna yung MSC at saka M7 at SEA Games.”
Before he leaves, he wants to win. Not just once, but enough to leave something behind.
There’s a kind of poetry in how athletes say goodbye.
They don’t stop, they finish.
Maybe he’ll play again in another country. Maybe he’ll teach. Maybe he’ll start that business with the woman he loves.
But right now, he’s still here: Somewhere between this season and the next, between Bahasa and Tagalog, between home and the promise of a new one.Because this is how love works for men like him.
You learn the language.
You fight for the win.
And when it’s time, you move.
