Quotes
- from Rudy Salud, former PBA Commissioner - "As a player, Fernandez should be ranked No. 1. With his skills, I would rank him No. 1. Fernandez was tall, a natural advantage. He was quick, he had agility. For a tall player, he handled the ball very well."
- from Billy Ray Bates, former PBA Import and 2011 PBA Hall of Fame Inductee - “ Fernandez is probably one of the best all-around players I’ve seen. He could dribble the basketball, can make great passes and can score as well.”
- from Philip Cezar, Crispa forward and on-court rival - "Si Mon (Fernandez), talaga ako dumedepensa diyan. Mahirap depensahan si Mon. Bakit? Malaki. Pangalawa, marunong mag-dribble. Pangatlo, magaling magpasa. Pag nag-one-on-one kayo, pag hindi mo rin naman kikilitiin ang kili-kili niyan, mahihirapan kang depensahan. Kinikili-kiliti ko ng ganun 'yan, pinipisil ko ang bewang. Pag nag-init ang ulo niya, kumbaga panalo na ako. Basta't hindi mo siya ginamitan ng taktika, mahihirapan ka (I'm the one who usually guards Fernandez. It's difficult to guard Mon. Why? He's tall. Second, he knows how to handle the ball. Third, he's a good passer. If you go one-on-one with him and you wouldn't tickle his armpits, you'll have a hard time defending him. I would tickle him like that, pinching his waist. If he loses his cool, then it's like I won over him. If you would not employ tactics on him, you'll have a hard time.)." (PBA, The First 25 Years)

“Man is timid and apologetic; he is no longer upright; he dares not say “I think,” “I am,” but quotes some saint or sage.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Young people of high school age can actually feel themselves changing. Progress is almost tangible. It’s exciting. It stimulates more progress. Nevertheless, growth is not constant and smooth. Erik Erikson quotes an aphorism to describe the formless forming of it. “I ain’t what I ought to be. I ain’t what I’m going to be, but I’m not what I was.””
—Stella Chess (20th century)
