DAGUPAN CITY — "I can die now."


So quipped an ecstatic Rev. Monsignor Leon Ver Bitanga in jest to Bishop Renato Mayugba after his favorite basketball team, the Purefoods Chunkee Giants, visited him Friday afternoon in the archdiocese-owned retirement villa in Bonuan Gueset here.


"Oh, no, not yet. We do not want yet to lose you," replied Mayugba.


The bishop though was happy to see that Bitanga, the oldest living priest in Pangasinan, at age 92, finally met the players of his favorite team.
