Lots of misconceptions here .
1.its not mere tenure of residency or mere studying in the country. Aside from extended period ( 5 years as a student resident) very important is if education is in formative years ( grade school or High school) , taking a masters degree for 1 or 2 years in mid 20s counts for nothing
This principle is implied in the exception is for an age cuttoff rule (U16), FIBA encourages and rewards players who are raised in their youth in the country ( its not adults having residency as a professional that matters)
2 Blood connection is not having similar common enthicity ( like Asian Taiwanese enthicity), but is in reference to a parental connection to either a citizen or a permanent resident. This is where Abasi is different from Kouame, as Kouame has no parental or family relationship to a Philippine citizen or resident Abasi does, his family are essentially permanent Taiwanese residents
Doiulthit son has a blood connection to a Philippine citizen. See the difference? It's not similar common enthicity
Abasi parents may be already Taiwanese citizens as well.
