Ganito nalang, let's just put it this way, I think we Filipinos find it hard to accept that a foreigner, with no blood ties to a certain country he wants to represent, will be declared as a local citizen of that country. That's precisely the case of Tyler Harris of Qatar. He is a total foreigner eh with no blood ties with Qatar. Yet he is considered by FIBA as a Qatari local player.
On the other hand, we have a Remy Martin whose mother is a natural born Filipino therefore he has blood ties with the Philippines, but he is considered by FIBA as a naturalized player.
I think it's no coincidence that our citizenship law recognizes jos sanguinis but not jos soli, because we Filipinos value blood ties that much.
I think other countries like China, South Korea, Japan, Israel, etc. value blood ties that much as well.
