2022 NBTC Global Tournaments

Because of the profile of players for the US (many 3rd or 4th generation) many Fil ams find it hard to secure passports.

The profile of Australia, New Zealand, Europe and Canadian (more recent migrants 1st or 2nd generation) tend to be able to secure passports before 16 ( not all.of course )

Some of the prospects ( provided school is finsih and are graduated) can go straight to a Philippine college right after NBTC and stay behind in Mnaila. So in essence we're litterarally delivering the Kid to the school (college )

i love this. the recruitments really made UAAP competitive. we now dont see ateneo dominate each time. it drove the competitive level so high. so many skilled players now.

Speaking of Ateneo, their juniors team seems to be very weak now and would probably be one of the weakest in the UAAP jrs. Watching their games in the UBL, their decent players are only Nieto and Porter. I wonder what this would mean to their basketball program as a whole.

Ateneo has had a shift over the years from recruiting from their jr program to now more overseas fil foreign focus

With the likes of Sage Tolentino, QMB, Ron Harper Jr.(already a PH Passport holder?), DJ Fenner, Scuba Holt, Kamaka Hepa, Vyc Miller and Jalen Gree are just a few on that many long list. I hope with the dedication and endeavor of Fil-Am Nation Select and those other Fil-Foreign Sports Organization not only from the US but also from Europe may somehow educate the parents and guardians that securing a PH Pass for their kid(s) will be beneficial to them. As I always said many times before that the more options they have the better moving forward.
