PBA 49th Season

[Sikatrix]

Finally a breakout game for Cansino. Would've sucked if he turned into another Pasaol.

Pasaol is a mid prospect because his body wasnt there. Same with Cansino but Cansino is more of an injury risk and less of a conditioning one.

Like that Ange-JB tandem during the Asian Games, the setup wont take that many mins away from locals since they’ll occupy positions we are weak at (center and tall wings)

The only tall local full-time wings (6'5" and above) that are really starter quality are Gabe, Arvin, Navarro, Malonzo, and Oftana.

Center, just June Mar, Japeth, CStand, Arana, maybe Laput and Bates.

Feel free to add if I missed anyone.

Gabe hasn’t been starter quality for a few years now. Tuffin is decent.
Santillian and Navarro as well.

Clarito is slowly getting up there as one of the better two-way perimeter players in the league. ideally hes a 2 maybe stretch it to 3.

I think Danny I also has a say when it comes to the negotiations. Snow disclosed just last night that Dave doesn't have any agent / representation.

If they only knew makikialam ang tatay especially since he has a rift with SMC then they should have gotten Tiongson / Cansino / Poli / Lemetti instead.

I think they will just let Dave go, si Greg nga pinakawalan what more si Dave.

Is there bad blood between Danny I and SMC? They traded him away along with Pena and Honti at the back end of there careers

If you're a young player and a 1st round pick would you want to be drafted by a farm team?

Was this planned by NP? Did they know that dave will not sign for them? Or they mis-guessed it? Or they want to hostage dave to play in the pba?

I think there was already rift based on Snow's artcile, Danny I was pissed when Danny S, Honti and Pena were traded to Air21, he also had a conflict with a team staff.

The Fil Foreigner rule is crazy! Why is that even a rule?

The Fil Foreigner rule is crazy! Why is that even a rule?

It will kick out many home growns from the league. It has already been expanded from 5 to 7. I think compared to other countries we are so lenient with handing out citizenships to Filipino ancestry. A person can have a Filipino citizenship as long as he has an ancestor who can reclaim their citizenship then all his ancestral line will claim their Filipino citizenship until it reaches him. Seems to be weird IMO. Why not just have a regular way of obtaining citizenship like most countries do. And with the dual citizenship law, your line can be Filipinos even if none will set foot in the Philippines or a Philippine embassy.

Having generations of no contact with the Philippines or its embassy and suddenly a person can play in the PBA just because a great great great great parent was born here seems weird to me. Just as weird as generations of people who are foreigners because none in their line can afford to pay for a naturalization process. These people are Pinoys by birth and upbringing spanning multiple generations but there is no practical way for them to gain citizenship.

You mean the limit for fil-for for teams? I dont agree with that rule as well, but you have to understand that it was made due to circumstances that happened in the past. The homegrowns dreamt of being a PBA player then suddenly, an unknown fil am would take his job.

Simon Enciso

I understand that but come on. Competition is competition. I worked hard to get here too! So it’s okay to look down upon my hard work and passion to be great so that a homegrown can have my spot. That ain’t right

jc Legaspi #MarcialResign


Yes, I know that. And as Ive said, its a bit racist to be honest to classify a Filipino born outside the country as "Fil-Foreign" We are all Filipino and in this age this should not be a thing. @pbaconnect should lift that limit.

The law was made so that 2nd and 3rd generation Fil-Foreigners could obtain Philippine citizenship easily and legally inherit properties in the Philippines left to them by their Filipino parents and grandparents. Under our laws, non-Filipinos cannot own property.

He probably gets cut, waived or be traded to Terrafirma or NP that is why he is posting this.

The rule has long past its usefullness. Most of the FilFors have even played here prior to the PBA so you cant even justify that the rule is for marketing purposes.

[JOI2dWorld]

Fil-fors who are fiba eligible or played for a collegiate team in the Philippines as well as those both parents are filipinos but born in countries that apply jus soli, should not be counted for the quota

[kaibooster21]

So I saw on wiki that SMB has 8 fil foreign
Lassiter
Ross
Tautuaa
Rosales
Nava
Perez
Enciso
Kyt Jimenez

Kind of funny that Kyt Jimenez is considered a Fil Foreign because he was born outside of the Philippines pero in reality, both his parents are both filipino
