    The fake foreign exchange and the fake people

    Just lastnight the Semerad twins was ushered inside the PBB house, its best to be known that these twins used to study at San Beda College, for the past 3 years they have played there and were given scholarship, and training in the United States, allowance and bonuses were also given, last year after winning the NCAA championship these brothers were given a bonus just like the rest of the team, but these two ingratos left SBC without notice to the school and their team and thus profess their love to Ateneo giving various non-sense reason for their transfer. they say lack of development at San Beda.

    I guess their basketball skills will be much improved in PBB house.

    Semerad twins reveal impending transfer to Ateneo

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0BwckcnkB0

    Here are some inconsistencies:

    1. They said that they initially wanted to go to ADMU, but they're turned off by the 2 year residency rule. Now, they have no problems with that rule?

    2. They said that they don't mind the 2 year residency, as long as they're together and they're working hard together. What, they can't do that in SBC?

    3. They want to continue playing at a "high level". They're concerned that they're stagnating in the NCAA. For the next 2 years, this means the FMC and other summer leagues playing against other Team B teams.

    4. During their first appearance in Hardball, they weren't really speaking. Now, daig pa nila si Boyet Sison sa pagka-talkative. Ang bilis pa mag-salita halatang scripted.

    5. When asked if they're willing to join the national team, as long daw as it doesn't interfere with their studies. I know you're good students and all, but this is a showbiz answer.

    6. They said that they're concerned that they're not playing that much. Ant suffered from a couple of illnesses/injuries while DJ's always in foul trouble. Of course, they're playing against veterans as well. Next year, they'll at least be the first guys off the bench for their positions. In the next 2 years, hindi pa sure kung ano depth chart ng ADMU so there's no assurance that they'll get playing time.

    Dami pa inconsistencies. Spot them.

    Here's a nice, objective blog about the twins defection from an Atenean:

    Defection

    I think most basketball heads here in the Philippines were shocked about the Semerad twins’ sudden transfer to Ateneo. Include me among those people. I never foresaw this one. Talk about being blindsided hard. In any case, this was worse than what LeBron James did to Cleveland.

    I woke up to the news of the transfer recently. Reading it got me out of bed and my brain started wondering... Why? According to my sources inside the Red Lions camp, the twins were being given shady advices by their agent, Arnold Vegafria, feeding them info. As you may well know, their agent is a showbiz guy. Wait, what? A showbiz guy handling basketball matters? Ho, ho, ho! Seriously? Yes, pretty sure about it. Basketball players being advised regarding basketball matters by a showbiz person. Great.

    To everyone from San Beda, I still firmly believe that when the twins do transfer to Ateneo, they won’t end up playing for the Blue and White as envisioned by their agent. At best they can only study now seeing that a Philippine Basketball D-League rule prevents them from playing ball. Even if they say they only sit out a year at most, what with their (through the shrewd agent) unearthly demands of starters’ minutes and other shenanigans, I don’t think Coach Norman would give in to that. An alumnus, who requested anonymity, divulged to me that MVP really got mad at them. To MVP, it was a slap in his face after supporting them. And before any other Red Lion gets angry at any Blue Eagle, I reiterate what the demands were: starters’ minutes basically having Nico Salva’s and Ryan Buenafe’s minutes, and a whole lot of “freebies” so to speak. If Ateneo succumbs to that, there would be bad repercussions with regards to the school.

    To Ateneans out there, please consider this first before everyone rejoices. Yes, I am a die-hard faithful of the Blue and White but I don’t like accepting deserters like the Semerads. At all. They said they stagnated in San Beda when in fact, they were instrumental in crowning the Lions champions in the NCAA. Who cares if they played in some Under-18 national squad? Does it mean they must have special treatment, like being named stars of the team like what happened to Kiefer Ravena? Does it mean they can demand minutes and the spots of tried and proven veterans like Nico Salva and Ryan Buenafe? Arguably, we all know who’s better at the moment. The twins may think otherwise, but thing is, they’re still raw compared to those three. Yes, Anthony may have a nice shooting form, but his game is still lacking. Yes, David may be rugged and has a nose for the ball, but again, his game is still lacking. Seriously, Buenafe will make both of them cry with his basketball IQ. Not to mention, those three have something these two don’t have: loyalty. Besides, there is no logjam at their position coming into the next NCAA season. Garvo will be gone, Jake will be gone and so will Big Daddy Dave. That gives them an opportunity to really star alongside Rome De La Rosa, Baser Amer, Ola Adeogun and Julius Armon.

    Another thing to consider for Ateneo: if the recruitment processes were any more stricter in the country, the school would be robbed of the championships it may have earned just because of some showbiz agent wanting more fame and money for his pets. Do you Ateneans like that? Maybe the pedestrian fans who know little would say yes and the shrieking horde of girls, who don’t know a bit about basketball, I came to abhor. To the real fans? I don’t think so. Wouldn’t it be a slap in the face of Salva and Buenafe, who have given Ateneo championships since their rookie years, after being loyal to Ateneo that we replace them with these two who think they’re hotshots already? And why would the school fall for some agent who doesn’t know anything about basketball, except maybe to occassionally shriek at Chris Tiu (if he’s a member of the third gender)? Seriously, Ateneo, think this through. Norman Black’s system of basketball unity will be destroyed by wannabe-stars who demand so much. Come on Paolo Trillo, be more sensible I beg you. If the twins can do that to a champion school, chances are, they can do it again with us. Consider also the development of Von Pessumal, Gwyne Capacio, Jerrick Estrada, or the impending call up of Joma Adornado. Please Paolo Trillo, I beg you to be really sensible. The Blue and White do not need the twins. At all.

    I really pity San Beda for getting mixed up in this. My alumnus friend said that the twins just disappeared without saying anything. And then their agent dropped the bomb that they will go Blue. Maybe the signs were there when the twins did not show up for team events like dinners after games, celebrations and the like. Right now, the twins are persona non grats in Mendiola, as they should be. Not only did they run SBC to the ground, they even shifted to reverse and ran them over again. And to Ateneans, if we are putting out basketball hopes in these kinds of players, there’s something wrong with our hearts and brains.

    3 years in Beda and umalis pa? wala ba sila plano mag-graduate?
    intact pa naman ata lineup ng ateneo for next uaap season, sana wag sila kunin ni coach norman.

    yes intact for this year but they were pirated for season beyond slaughter, and salva. in fact at the very leased 2 years residency ng kambal na yan.

    not only will black get them , black was even reported to gave this ingratos the grand tour at loyola. but a quick reminder, once a traitor always a traitor that is for the right price.

    well kung hindi sila nag traidor walang isyu dba,,, simple lang yun common sense. Hope that answer your question.

    claim nila umalis sila SBC dahil hindi sila nag grow as a player then why not enroll in a baketball camp in the states (since out of school youth sila now, pero nasa ateneo) imbes na pumasok sa bahay ni Big Bro.

    kung may delikadesa sila nag paalam ng maayos hindi pagkatapos makuha 120,000 pesos bonus lumayas na (pero prior sa pagkuha ng bonus uma-attend pa ng ensayo daily 6am)

    dapat hindi sinungaling unang sinisi nila si frankie lim (head coach) then nung kaharap si MVP si ed cordero (assistant coach) sinisisi

    1st time nilang maka apak ng Amerika dahil sa SBC tapos basta na lang iwanan, FYI pina attend sila sa basketball camp (the whole SBC team) sa America , where most NBA players train. tamad sila may nag bigay ng free eclipse gym privillage sa kanila pero ni minsan hindi nagpunta iyun pa naman ang gym ng mga pba players (eclipse gym)

    ^Ma-showbiz ka pala freemind. Kala ko sa NCAA sub-forum ka lang tumatambay

    Kakatawa nga yung rason nilang "not enough playing time." Si David maiintindihan ko pa, pero si Anthony?

    Ganyan pala yung ugali ng mga yan. Buti di nila pinatulan yung "extra rice" ni Coach Alas

  14. #13
    hehehe, naituro ng anak ko kaya i felt that i have to say my piece here,

    pero kung nag offer si coach alas ng extra rice at appearance sa eat bulaga baka bumigay.... hehehe,,,,,

    iba ugali ng kambal sayang sila, actually si david naman hindi ganun kagaling offensively at hindi pa sanay sa pinoy hoops, kaya sablay defense, i feel na tama lang ang playing time nya, having said that whatever issues david have about his playing time should have been water under the bridge bec he showed his value in game 2 of the ncaa finals, plus it also shows na nag improve na sya compared to last year. i believe nahindi tutuoo reason nila, pera-pera bottom line, bigger offer, plus showbiz. Good luck sa pag host nyo this coming season.
