The Comeback Kids: The Rise, Fall, and Redemption of AP BREN
AP BREN’s boot camp is a far cry from the old glory of the Hive’s first headquarters back in Makati. Situated in a gateless neighborhood in Quezon City, there is nothing remarkable about the boot camp except for the plainness of its facade. Its high walls and grilled fences looked unwelcoming—an architectural feature, we observed, was common among houses in this area. We pulled up to the gutter and saw Owgwen attempting to enter the house. AP BREN’s boot camp is a far cry from the old glory of the Hive’s first headquarters back in Makati.

AP BREN’s Boot Camp in Quezon City
“Owgwen!”
He was beaming—his default facial expression.
“Sir! Pasok po!” (“Come inside!”)
Ogien Unigo, aka Owgwen. Role: Roamer
Various laundry hung in the garage. There was an SUV, and a heavily pockmarked dartboard on the wall. The entrance to the house led to the dining area. Next to it were shelves with various snacks, a jar of whey protein, and packs of Milo, but no coffee. Except for the dining area, the boot camp is fully air-conditioned. The lounge is adjacent to the studio, decked with AP BREN’s world championship trophies. Various laundry hung in the garage. There was an SUV, and a heavily pockmarked dartboard on the wall.

Everything inside made the studio look like a bachelor’s pad: high-end PC setups, gaming chairs, and a flat-screen TV. The floor was carpeted dark gray and the walls were padded with black sound-proofing foam. Only one thing was out of place: A blue push game toy for three-year-olds.
“Whose is this?” we asked.
“Kay Pando,” answered Adie, the team’s manager.
