In a glorious period when the country’s best sportswriters emerged, Al Mendoza carved his own niche with a unique style polished by his strong literary background. He just didn’t entertain but educate followers of his columns from the early days at the Manila Bulletin to the Philippine Daily Inquirer with his mastery of the sports lingo. The flow of his stories made for a suspenseful start-to-end reading that evoked the plots of a telenovela.
— JONG ARCANO, motoring editor and golf editor of the Philippine Daily Inquirer
Al’s writing style is reader-friendly. Light but insightful! Engaging from beginning to end.
— DANNY “SIR JOHN” ISLA, founding president of Lexus Manila
Al Mendoza is the best columnist in town because his columns can be read and understood by almost anyone due to his consistent use of simple words. He has this good habit of being direct to the point while pursuing his muse. He can write very well on any topic. I also admire his ability to write well in both English and Filipino. For that, Al is a rare animal in the world of writing.
— JAKE P. AYSON, executive officer (ret.) of the National Golf Association of the Philippines
“Spectating” with Al Mendoza is being treated to sideline intimacy with Philippine sports.
— KRIP YUSON, poet, novelist, and sports lover
