Fr. Rodel Cansancio, OP, the school's athletic director, confirmed that the 21-year-old court general has indeed changed addresses to España as he looks ahead to a clean slate for both his life and basketball career.
Cansancio bared that Padrigao is already enrolled in the Institute of Physical Education and Athletics and has attended practices of the Growling Tigers. "Siya mismo ang nag-effort para i-prove na pinagsisisihan niya yung mga nagawa niya at gusto niyang ipakita na natuto na siya sa mga pagkakamali na yun. Ang UST naman is there to help him reform his ways especially since he's still a kid who needs guidance," said the amiable priest.
The former national youth team member from Zamboanga can still play for two more years with the Growling Tigers starting UAAP Season 87, but will still have to prove himself to coach Pido Jarencio.
