MANILA, Philippines – Although it’s rare, there can be times when talented basketball prospects go under the radar because of certain reasons.
“It started as a dream since high school, passing by Taft when going to places in Manila. I always said to myself that, ‘Soon, I’ll study and play for that school,’” he told Rappler during an exclusive interview. “When I started playing for Phenom Championship Clinic in leagues like Got Skills, I got the chance to be recruited by other schools. I planned to work my way to try out for DLSU but then in God’s perfect timing and blessing, I got scouted and eventually recruited.”
