  • How'd Japeth get so tall?

    just wondering, how did a pure bred filo get to become 6'9? anyone know how tall his parents are? have there been any other pure filos that height or even taller before?

    Marlou Aquino- 6'9" pba veteran
    Cris Bolado- 6'9" pba veteran
    Yancee De Ocampo- 6'9" currently in the pba
    Eman Samigue- 6'9" now playing in the PBL

    I think I may have missed some more.

      which brings me another q, is the pbl just a lower league, such as the nbdl or cba?

        in a sense yes but not that low. i tihnk more of it as the nbdl of the pba. that's my thought.

        im sure that guy in W. Kentucky is getting his ass kicked in the weight room right now...which in the long end is good because he will get more muscular.

          chris bolado is only 6-7
          as to add to your list there's also

          erick canlas 6-9
          francis de Leon 6-8
          bonel balingit 6-9
          Jayr reyes 6-7

          japeth aguilar's father was a PBA legend his name is Peter Aguilar who i believe stands around 6foot5 to 6foot6. i dont know anything about his mother.

          also, i believe the tallest filipino is the 7'3'' actor who has a case of gigantism

              I can't remember the name, but he actually played for the San Juan Knights in the now defunct MBA.

              Though I should say that the guy can barely play basketball...

                    Japeth's father Peter is not that good a bbal player. He was hardly even used in the Ginebra line-up which consists of Ampalayo, Gonzalgo, The Loyazagas, Distrito etc. He rarely scores double digits. Japeth is far better than his dad just like KObe to Jellybean Bryant. Only Japeth is not of the same level as Kobe.

                          I think EJ FIEHL is half german. NOt pure Filipino.

                            I think japeth stands 6'7" tall not 6-9, its american custom i guess padding up height with the shoes on. We used to have a PBA player whose height is 6-9 but his parents are not that tall thats what i know. His name is Bonel Balingit.
                            Even Shaquille O'neal liked his hulking built when he visited Manila several years back

                              i actually watched that game and bonel balingit gave shaq a little bit of a hard time as he didnt allow shaq to back down on him.

                              i believe you are right with the height padding, because of the padding it makes me confident that our players really arent that small. also, i remember marlou aquino looking more like 6'11" beside shaq who is supposed to be 7'1".
