NBA legend Dwyane Wade caught a Filipino fan by surprise after passing by a ‘pares’ spot in Pitogo, Taguig during his visit to the Philippines.
A video shared by Threads user d0t.14 showed the three-time NBA champion walking along a busy street with members of his entourage, prompting excitement from the fan who happened to spot him.
“Casually eating Pares when this Champ showed up! Let’s. Go @dwyanewade,” the post read.

The brief street encounter offered a glimpse of Wade’s time outside his scheduled basketball engagements during his Manila visit, as the former Miami Heat star moved through a local neighborhood.
Wade was in the country for a series of basketball-related activities and fan engagements, including an appearance at the Smart Araneta Coliseum, where he watched the UAAP Season 89 men’s basketball game between the University of Santo Tomas Growling Tigers and Far Eastern University Tamaraws.
The visit also included a basketball camp for young players and promotional activities connected to Li-Ning’s Way of Wade line and local sports retailer Toby’s Sports.
Wade is one of the most decorated players of his generation, winning three NBA championships with the Miami Heat in 2006, 2012 and 2013.
He was named NBA Finals Most Valuable Player in 2006, earned 13 All-Star selections and entered the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2023. (Adrian Co)
