Sasing, 44, was sports coordinator of Philippine Maritime Institute (PMI) Colleges- Bohol. He was also involved in “Kumong Bol-anon”.
He initiated the PMI Bohol Boxing Stable where he trained Suganob brothers-Rodel and Regie, Jhunrielle Castino, Jason Dogelio, among others.

After the onslaught of typhoon Odette in Bohol, Sasing was heavily involved in relief operations even though his house was destroyed by a large coconut tree.
