Jay Dela Cruz is a licensed engineer who changed careers well after passing the Board Exam and became one of the most sought-after public address announcers in Philippine sports, as well as one of the voices of the PBA's radio coverage! He shares his unlikely origin story with Stan, along with the differences between being a radio play-by-play commentator and a sports arena public address announcer, and also tells stories about what this career means to him. He also gets into his feelings on the word "barker," which has traditionally been used in the Philippines to refer to public address announcers. All of these stories and more are on deck!
