Samboy started the skywalking (hang-in-the-air and dunking) trend in Pinas basketball(dunking was rare at that time).....but the real and better skywalker was vergel...He mastered what Samboy started. *note: Paul Alvarez started the power slum dunking trend... Vergel was a hybrid of Samboy and Alvarez...he was better than the two, but his reign was short-lived...and Samboy loyalists wouldnt accept any other skywalker unfortunately..thus Vergel was underrated for his talent

idol ko yan si vergel meneses, i remember in my elementary days grabe pinapanood ko talaga ang lagat ng laban nyan, mula nung pumunta sya ng redbull at nung huli ay sa ginebra pero nung nasa coke o sunkist pa sya talagang superstar yang idol ko, until now ginagaya ko pa din ang mga galaw nya at bukod kay mj ay sya pa din ang inspirasyon ko sa pag lalaro, kahit shooting guard ang posisyon ko gusto ko pa din maging slacher tulad nya. sana pag bigyan ako ni coach^^

the 1990s will be an always an interesting decade for the pba...it is a period when you will know a player from his signature moves noli locsin...alvin patrimonio...jolas...benjie...johnny a...it is a period when high flyers roam the sky bong alvarez...kenneth duremdez...samboy and of course vergel meneses...the games where exciting back then and the fans where so devoted to their teams and teams are devoted to their fans...hope the excitement will be back in the pba!

die hard Sunkist fan here... lalo na high school days. now i work for Sunkist hehe... syang lang not a huge brand here anymore.

high flayer small forward star legend vergel, like samboy, alvarez,jolas...

Inluences me to watch PBA and play basketball at young age because of his hangtime moves. We try to imitate his moves and jersey number. Ron Jacobs once calls Vergel Meneses Most Talented Player to play in the PBX

Vergel Meneses at Samboy Lim ang pina ka gusto kong moves sa loob ng court.pag asa loob sila ng game ma eexcite kang manood talaga..also Paul Alvarez noong mga panahon nila sa PBA..punom pun ng excitement talaga.

my ultimate Idol in the PBA since then up to now even in JRU as coach

The 1995 season was his tour de force. Physically and mentally talagang nasa kundisyon siya. The 1995 season was also my flower Power San Francisco days. It was like an influx of great sports and music. If I can recall Vergel Meneses, Luisito Espinosa and the Eraserheads were ubiquitous during that year.I think by analogy the Sunkist of yore is like the Dallas Mavericks of today, they jelled but unfortunately imploded.The talent was ineffable but the chemistry came to a screeching halt.

THe Best.. !.. Talking about pure Filipino talent ((non-mixture of any Foreign Race! or whatsoever FUCKING race, like those of the Players today in the PBA..!)).. A PURE Filipino in action.. SUPERB..! ..

the aerial voyager!! hahaha.. nice to hear again that title of him..

Sensational and spectacular moves. That was incredible performance. Iba tlaga Vergel "Aireal Voyager" Meneses.

i know they say the 70s was great but damn the early 90s was great as well. San Miguel fan ako galing ni Samboy, Caidic at Asaytono, Si Bong Alvarez din bago na trade

"I felt back then that Vergel had the makings of a Michael Jordan, if only he had more dedication to the game. When I first saw him, I told him, 'Vergel you could do better. If you condition yourself properly. The talent that Vergel has is very rare. I think he himself doesn't know how good he is. Sayang (Too bad), we wouldn't even know how good he could have been. His potential, I think, was never fulfilled." (Tommy Manotoc, The First 25 PBA Yearbook)

1993 PBA Commissioner's Cup (blocked the shot vs. Shell Helix Oilers) 1994 PBA Commissioner's Cup (fast break and acrobatic moves) 1995 PBA All-Filipino Cup (dunk, lay-ups, crucial buzzer beater and 22 ft. three-points shot in their 1995 Finals)

Nameet ko si vergel meneses nung highschool ako nasa urdaneta kami tamang Tama nagstop by sila sa isang resort para kumain andun lahat Sina Bal David caidic,napakaswerte talaga na nameet ko siya may picture pa.

ganyan kalulufet ang moves ng mga pba players noon!!! at wala i tulak kabigin sa dami ng magagaling .. really missed those magical moments of the pba very nostalgic talaga ..

THE ONE AND ONLY AERIAL VOYAGER! xD

forever vergel ako! LEGEND talaga xa ASTIG!

The most athletic player who ever played in the pba. He dunks, he has a good shooting touch outside and inside the 3 pt lane, he's a clutch player, he does lot of assists and nice to watch moves and now a smart coach of the jru known for being a defensive team.

d best tlga c vergel, idol q since sunkist days....lol. grabe ang puno ng cuneta astrodome. d 2lad ngaun ala n nannood msyado....d best tlga ang 90's pba!

Everything has its era. Vergel and his contemporaries were born in an era where they could captivate. The present tide of basketball dashes with athleticism while basketball in the 90's was anchored on execution. In a way, genetics or nurture played a role. Before it was rare to see players above 6 foot 6 as conditioned and athletic as today. In my day, the game hinged on basic execution and passion. Players of yore used more wits than physical attributes.A CHAMPIONSHIP WAS LIKE AN OSCAR.

Mon Fernandez was the most intelligent PBA player ever..Samboy the most popular(because of his death-defying attacks and kind personality)..Jawo the one with the craziest fans...but in terms of acrobatic athleticism, effectiveness and entertainment- I think Vergel is the best PBA player ever...quite underrated though..pero bakit pinag-retire agad? did he get injured?

my ultimate crush ever the aerial voyager Verge Meneses.. dhil s knya nhilig ako mnood ng PBA..

Meneses, Bong Alvarez, and Samboy Lim are my favorite PBA players...it would've been awesome if they were all in one team. haha

Lagi ko to pinapanood si vergel meneses nung elementary pa lang ako, lalo na yung pinaka malupet nya na move na reverse layup na parang michael jordan

wow!!nakakamiss talaga panuorin ung mga moves ni Meneses!!lalo na ung signatured reverse lay-up nya, and post moves..sya lang nakakagawa ng mga ganyan eh.. thanks for uploading this video. more highlights pls..hehehe

We have to accept the reality na wala na ngayon mga acrobatic, aerial artistry like Meneses and Samboy Lim, those were just rare breed, nakakamiss ang ganyan panahon.

vergel was awesome! i witnessed these!

napaka humble na player ni meneses..mga player ngayon ang yayabang..

Best one on one player in the league,one time mvp four time all star mvp,IDOL

man with one thousand and one move, meneses forever....

Kung sino mn ang ngupload nito maramming salamat..ito ang player na pinakgus2 q sa pba kya aq ngla2ro ng basketball. Time q ito 1993 q first time npnod si idol.simula non viewer nq ng pba. Iba ang time nooon! Kysa sa ngaun. Kung si james yap sumby sa time ni vergel. Ay naku! Huliin nya ang bola kung mhu2li niya sa kamay ni vergel sa ere.. He he he.

vergel is my fav pba player, very humble pa..

Yan ang mga fans ng PBA dati. Ipaglalaban talaga ang mga Idol nila!

Announcer : " pang larawan na naman..." hahaha I like it.

waaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! thanks for uploading!!! miss ko na si meneses!!! =p

damn!!!! those years talaga walang binatbat pba ngyon... pgkatapos ng school diretso nako tv para MANUOD NG PBA ngyon myroon pbang pba????

This man has,is and will always be my favorite cager.The blueprint of my basketball Eden. Sadly, his potential was not fully realized.He was a great individual player skill-wise but it seems he could not fit perfectly into a scheme of things in terms of longevity.Derek Pumaren tried to maintain the engines but it was meant to crumble.I respected Alaska, they took their two heartbreaking losses from Sunkist like men and then carved their dynasty. Sunkist became a masterpiece reduced to shit.

True Idol talaga ni Yap si Meneses sa Jersey No. palang eh. 18 tapoz yung monicker man with the million moves, lintik na yan ginaya lang yan kay vergel na one with a thousand moves na mas makatotohan. Anu moves ni Yap Jumpshot :)

grabe tlga tong tao NATO! the greatest cager ever played in the PBA.

vergil & samboy are my idols

Ang dahilan kung bakit ako nahilig at natutong maglaro...

nakakamiss yung mga local players sa pba. kaya siguro hinde na kasikat pba ngayon kasi puro filam or fil-foreigners ang players

When I was a kid since my elementary, l remember it was the days of the South East Asian Games.. The talked of the boys playing in the basketball court was about the game they watched about his beautyful acrobatic shots..

Siya ang dahilan naging fan ako ng basketball..forever fan here of aerial voyager..nakaka miss naman.

"Aerial Voyager" #18 Vergel Meneses the best ka talaga idol, magaganda ang mga laro excitement panoorin, napakasimple at ndi mayabang na player, salamat sa mga move, sayo ako namulat sa paglalaro ng basketball kaya i love this game dahil sayo idol, baka may nabibili na dvd copy yung mga highlights nya

i miss THAT PBA?...during that it was the BIGGEST SPORT in the Philippines...every TV in every household are watching it...i MISS it!!!!

My favorite player Vergel Meneses..iloveyou Vergel

Iba talaga PBA nung 90's. Di tulad ngayon puro papogi

Wala na yung mga ganitong klaseng mga players ngayon sa PBA.the talents terribly declined thru the years.the PBA were so much fun to watch back then.let start off with the high flyingnguards with the likes of The Flying A Johnny Abarrientos,Boybits Victoria,the exciting high leapers like Kenneth Duremdes,Mr.Excitement Bong Alvarez,the one and only and my idol the Skywalker Avelino Samboy Lim,and of course the Aerial Voyager himself Vergel Meneses.isama mo na rin dyan ang mga power forwards na nag bibitin din sa ere like the Bull Nelson Asaytono and of course si Noli the Tank Locsin at ang Tower of Power na c Benjie Paras!!the names i mentined were only a few who made the PBA very entertaining to watch back then.and of course nandyand din ang mga enforcers special mention si the Destroyer Rudy Distrito.nakakalungkot na napakarami na mgam filams ngayon na naglalaro instead of this homegrown talents.filams na himdi naman matin alam kung tunay ba o hindi.ang dami daming mga home grown talents na gusto maging PBA player bakit hindi sila gawin priority instead sa mga filams na to.nakaka miss ang dating PBA.ang PBA na pumatok talaga sa pusot isipan ng mga mamayang Pilpino ay iba na sa dati!!

naalala ko nong nasa elementary pa ako ay ginagaya ko lahat ng pamatay moves ni idol... nakakamis talaga ang panahong yon..... siguro idol ni YAP at YEO si idol kasi halos magkapareha ang mga moves nila pati na ang jersey#.

This is the PBA I know and love

aerial voyager is my basketball influence...he is the best ever PBA player in terms of sitting on the air and aerodynamic moves...

vergel menses one of my best player in PBA....idol.

simple lang sa kanya ang double clutch layup, nagagamit d2 ung pagiging athletism nya kaya tumatagal sya sa ere, ibang klase tlga kahit mga PBA ngayon bihira ka lang makakita ng ganitong moves, kyrie irving and michael jordan

benjie paras at vergel meneses ang pinakagsto ko sa pba..magkaiba ung laro pero prehong malupetttttt!! sayang wala ng player ngayon na kcng lupit nila sa games.. sarap nila panuoren

gaganda ng mga sapatos nuon

idol ko talaga c meneses#18,... despite his fame mapakumbabang tao talaga, Hindi makikitaan Ng laki Ng ulo

ang mga kabataan noon halos focus sa sports particularly basketball, kahit saang kalye may baskeball ring..kahit alas 12 ng tanghale naglalaro pa rin kami ng basketball pagkatapos manonood ng pba.. ngayon, wala na masyado, puro na lang computer ang mga kabataan ngayon..nakakamiss talaga ang buhay noon.

My favorite pba player.. V.Meneses

A Blessed Day. My Name is KOBE CHARLES , 'THE FINDER" CALUYA The 2016 Oldest and Shortest PBA Rookie Aspirant. Just wanna share my thoughts on Vergel Meneses Playing Style.. My Idol, Vergel "Aerial Voyager " is The Most Exciting PBA Player in PBA History. Siya yung Michael Jordan at Kobe Bryant ng PBA. One of The Best in Isolation, together, with Ramon "El Presidente " Fernandez. Pag isolation o lowpost si Vergel Meneses at Mon Fernandez mga Maestros Dito. Ang sarap panuorin ni Vergel Meneses Lalo na sa open court at pag nag shake and bake move or Head and shoulder Fake na siya. Sigurado, iwan na agad ang kalaban. Me outside shooting din siya at high percentage sa freethrow kasi Maestro siya ng Foul-bating. He can draw fouls one after the other sa mga defenders niya. Sana pag aralan ng isa ko pang Idol na si Kobe Paras ang style ni Vergel Meneses lalo yung low post move at one on one isoltaion play. Kapag na develop ni KP 6 KOBE PARAS yung low post move like Vergel Meneses, magiging successful siya hindi lang sa PBA kundi Sa NBA na pinapangarap niya. I hope makilala ko sa Personal ang super idol kong sila VERGEL "THE AERIAL VOYAGER " MENESES at Si KOBE "KP6" PARAS. Thank you sa nag upload nito Sir. More highlights pa ni Vergel Meneses at Kobe Paras din. Kobe Charles Caluya Sir. Me basketball videos din po ako pero konte Lang po ang nakakapansin. Just to share, nag vlo vlog po ako to atleast somehow INSPIRE other people. That no mattter age or size ng isang tao basta me pangarap, Go Chaste for it. Mabuhay ang Sambayanang Pilipino. Mabuhay po ang mga Talentadong Pinoy. Thank you Sir and to everyone. GOD Bless always po. :)

kung pwd lang bumalik s idol vergel..para skin sya pinaka magaling na pba player of all time..lhat kya nyang gawin..salamat s nag upload..miss ko n mga moves ni idol

my idol ng swift, sunkist, fedex, ginebra, at redbull. gling prang import mag laro

u still my idol vergel meneses

Meneses was the last of the truly aerial artists who could lift the crowd to its feet with his hangtime moves, Duremdes and Ravena are good at that too but not as exciting as the aerial voyager.

My very first PBA idol.. back in my grade school ginagaya ko mga pabandang tira nya..

I remember the Sunkist Alaska rivarly, circa 96-97.... Syempre Sunkist ako all the way. And Meneses was my favorite.

this guy is a god!

1995 nung peak ni meneses isa syang scoring machine. normal lang sa kanya 30 pts. game nun. pag isolation play sure 2 points na kapag hindi mo siya double team.

Congrats Mayor Vergel Meneses!

ganda talaga gumalaw ni vergel

All time favorite d'areal voyager

Naalala ko nung high school days pa ako yung mga pang p.e ko na shorts na pinapatahi instead na name or apelyido ko ang dapat nklgay ang pinapalagay ko its aider vergel or meneses kaya yu napapaglitan ako but happy parn kc super idol ko tlaga siya

vergel introduced me to basketball. sobrang IDOL ko talaga to. naranasan ko mag absent ng 1 week nung asian games '98 para lang mapanood games live. after pasok uwi agad pag may laro sila. one time nakita ko sya sa Trinoma starstruck pa din ako!!! ngayon sinusuportahan ko JRU kasi coach sya! sayang lang maagang tinamaan ng injury dati pero para sakin the BEST pa din! idol ko si JYAP ngayon pero iba si MENESES!!! sana makita ko uli sya maglaro. or sana magbenta pba ng mga videos nya. BIBILI AKO!!

pag pinagsamasama sina Ronie Magsanoc, Benjie Paras, Ato Agustin, Bong Alvarez, Nelson Asaytono, Samboy Lim, Vergel Meneses, Alvin Patrimonio.. at isama pa si The Legend Bobby Parks Sr. Walang Silbi ang mga papormang PBA ngaun

Vergel was a force of nature in the 1995 season, I think it was his peak. Apart from his talent, his physical attributes such as his height posed innumerable match-up problems for other teams. The 1995 season was such a competitive and emotional season. Apart from Alaska and Sunkist, Purefoods was such a scary team for me. Alvin Patrimonio was really spearheading his team like a vigorous captain. Alaska was a disciplined team compared to Sunkist. Sunkist was a terror in an open court game.

I played basketball because of him.

Kaka miss ang Era na eto!

kahit ilang beses ko panoorin hindi kao nagsasawa..napapailing ako sa mga hang time nya hehe..lupit!

Dr. J ng pinas!...halos lahat ng top 10 plays of the week nuon sa kanya...his my idol in high school when i play basketball...SWIFT atsaka SUNKIST ang team nya nuon....may mas magagandang moves pa c MENESES sana may mag post pa top 1000 plays ni idol....;)

according to ron jacob, if sana point guard ang nilaro ni vergel meneses, he could be the best point guard in asia. he can pass, he can dribble, has the moves, and definitely has the height advantage kahit chinese point guard pa ang kalaban.

Vergel "THE AERIAL VOYAGER " menesez idol

super crush ko si meneses, grabeeeeeeeeeeee.. lahat ng laro nila pinapanood ko, masyado ako affected during those days, hahaha

wooooo eto tlga idol ko e! more plz!!!

The best PBA player of all time

Batang 90's ako lahat nang liga ko puro 18 kinu kuha kong number. Dahil kay idol vergel meneses. Ang galing pa nya sa pa boarding shot

Sobrang graceful Galawan!!

sa 3pts magaling si james yap, pero sa actrobatic shot vergel meneses padin

true! PBA before are more exciting than today!

idol q to si mr. aerial voyager since grade 1 aq . . . talgang napakagaling na player nito . . . more uploads pa please . . .

Old pba games for all filipino But now more on filam. Old pba its full of excitement but now sometimes have excitement.

eto ang pinakamahusay n nging palyer sa PBA... IDOL

Vergel Meneses, Kenneth Duremdes and Jeffrey Cariaso, all play the same type of ball. Chris Lutz and Marcio Lassiter remind me of the Aerial Voyager and The Captain.

Parang air jordan, ang galeng!

taas tumalon. tagal sa ere. galing ni v. meneses.

GOAT

idol tlaga kita mula noon

ITO YUNG PANAHON NA SARAP PANOURIN ANG BASKETBALL(PBA AT NBA).

One of my idol in Pba the one hander
