I think you meant Villavicencio family of FilOil.

Thank you for the correction!

oh, are they related? i never looked in to that. The villavicencio who backs DLSU that I know of is Vicvic of triple V, Dads, kamayan, and now the his kids manage Sombokojin (spelling?) and similar all you can eat buffets.
They are related. The Vargas, Villavicencio and Eduque are intertwined by marriage. The jock of the family and former point guard and coach of DLSU, Vergil Villavicencio used to be team manager of an MVP team because he is first cousins with Vargas who is one of MVP’s trusted lieutenants. They used to live in a huge compound in Mandaluyong. Late DLSU coach Tito Eduque was their uncle, while Gen. Vargas who was big in Philippine sports was the grandfather of the family tree.
DLSU is bankrolled by the Davao group of Mans Carpio, the Romeros, Dennis Uy (Phx Petroleum) and I think SMC is still in the mix through the Villasenor group (someone correct me on this)
Carpio is being given too much credit. First, he doesn't come from money and doesn't have much money (specially when compared to Razon and Villavicencios). He won't and can't "bankroll" the team.
Second, it's public knowledge that he and Sara are done. I think he is just there because he's a big basketball fan. That's it. It's more like the boosters accommodated him and not the other way around.
Phoenix Dennis Uy has nothing to do with DLSU basketball.
Padrigao out for season 86 due to "academics"
Gomez will probably be PG1. Not sure who his alternates will be though. Espinosa is shaky, while Brown and Garcia are natural shooting guards. Gamber, from what I’ve seen in UCBL, is a 2 or 3 and not a PG. Nieto maybe? But he’s more of an SG as well.

is the red shirt year due to academics count against college playing yrs eligibility?
No, it doesn't. Only residency after transferring from one UAAP school to another.
