Dear Father Lana (An Open Letter)

[moneymayweather]

WTF is an "import" in collegiate games!!! Tell your priest this is not the PROS. We only have foreign student athletes. What multinational corporation would sponsor a racist league? I don't see Nilke, Adidas or any multinational corporation throwing their hats in a league which looks at an athletes' race than their skills and talents. Without major sponsors where would this league be. Someone should also tell him that the main guy of the tv station where they plan to transfer to is a Bedan.

As I said I am not against teams having imports.

Patawa nga eh. Alam naman natin kung ano pagkatao niyan pagdating sa Pula.

Put your money where your mouth is. Let's have the posts.
My contention has always been that there is nothing illegal about recruiting imports. Just don't downplay their role when you win your championships mainly because of them especially if they even become MVPs of the league. If you can't see the difference then I don't want to waste my time discussing anything with you.

[TheHellboy]

WTF? Who are we downplaying here? Ang sarili naming brothers? ang sarili naming amin?

Ikaw lang ang nagsasabi niyan. Alam mo, ikaw lang ang nag-uungkat niyan dito at wala ng iba. Ang masama, binibigyan mo pa ng kahulugan e wala na nga sa hulog ang pinagpuputok ng buchi mo. Wag kang magmalinis, dahil naalala ko pa din mga pinost mo.

Say? Sa tono pa lang ng sinabi mo, ikaw ang may ayaw ng foreign players at maging MVP sa liga. Bakit, dahil foreign player sila? E ano naman!? E di pareho pala kayo nung nagdi-discriminate.

May pa-downplay downplay ka pa diyan e wala ngang gumagawa nun sa players namin. Kami na nga itong nagtatanggol sa Foreign players tapos sasabhin mo yan. Akalain mo, sariling amin, sasabihing dina-downplay. Ano yun?

Sabihin mo kung sino o ipost mo dito ang nag-downplay para naman matigil kami. Kung wala, tigil-tigilan mo yang pinagsasabi mo. Pweh! Bad habit yan. Asikasuhin niyo ang inyo di yung maglalabas ka ng hatred dito e wala namang basehan. Sa Letran forum nga, ikaw lang nagsabi niyan e. Lagyan mo naman ng sense ang pag-hate mo sa Pula.

re foreign players simple lang yan

season 85 talo SBC with a Sudan Daniel vs Baste

season 87 Champ SBC minus any foreign player sweep pa finals nun so anong issue sa foreign players? SBC can loose and win with and without a foreign player.

nakaka sawa na yang issue na yan, sa nba, us ncaa and even sa uaap at ibang liga dito sa pinas hindi isyu yan, mga taong maski kapwa nila hindi makasundo kaya sila sila nag demandahan at nasa school website pa nila, yun ang mas nakaka hiya kesa sa isyu ng foreign players.

[Underpass]

some comments on topics discussed here:

1. the sanction to Lim and Gorayeb is fine, talagang nag away sila, but for the other players of SBC like except Marcelo, it has yet to be proven na may sala sila, if the Mancom decision were levied only to coach Lim and marcelo, i dont think there will be any negative remarks, however that is clearly not the case, now re the SBC rep yes there is always one, however i dont think he can vote on matters concerning SBC directly, he is doing his job, if you will remember last year when the mancom meeting was hijack with the inclusion in the portion other business with the topic of not allowing foreign players, nag katraiduran dun. and LEtran has always been against foreign players but they love foreign (specifically Koreans) enrolled to learn english coz they make money out of it.

Basketball is a team game, 5on5 Baste won over SBC without a foreign players, JRU failed to win a crown with 2, in the other league, good teams like FEU (2 imports), UST, Adamson, NU, all have tall foreign players yet they all fell victim to ADMU with a midget long as their import.

Agree ako dito. Coach Lim and Gorayeb should be suspended. I have no argument with that.

But the sanction (2-game suspension) on almost the entire Red Lions team is very malicious. They were not directly involved in the brawl.

The fact that MANCOM has a history against San Beda particularly the reps of Letran, CSB, MIT and JRU, hindi maiwasan na magduda because all of these reps have one way or another collaborated in the past:

1. Yousif Aljamal case (2007)
2. Jake Pascual case (2008) and
3. Proposal of banning foreigners in the NCAA (2011).

Plus the uniform. Pero ang galing ah, talagang maghahanap ng butas ang mga ito basta manalo lang. Consistent!

Tambak CSB and Letran. They protested dahil sa uniform after the game. Oo nga naman, technically, may karapatan ang kabila magprotest. Pero in a battlefield... Alam naman ng lahat kung sino ang nanalo. They won on board but we won honorably and gallantly.

I remember dati sa UP: Maroon squad may have protested pero they didn't even bother doing it. Siguro tanggap nila pagkatalo at walang kinalaman ang uniform sa pagkapanalo ng kalaban. Pero that's life, t@nga "daw" ng players ng SBC dahil sa uniform. How perfect these creatures na nagsabi nun. Diyos sila!

Magandang Araw!

Una sa lahat, nais ko pong malaman niyo na isa po akong Letranista.

Sinulat ko po ang liham na ito upang iparating sa inyo na hindi po ako pabor sa inyong mungkahi na huwag paglaruin ang mga dayuhang manlalaro sa NCAA.

Idinetalye ko po ang mga puntos kung bakit hindi po ako sumasangayon sa inyong ideya sa baba.

-Sa tingin ko po ay isa itong paglabag sa karapatan ng mga dayuhang manlalaro. Isa po sa pinaka pangunahing karapatan ng isang tao ay edukasyon. Kung ang paraan para makamit nila ang edukasyon na ito ay ang maglaro para sa isang eskwelehang nagbibigay sa kanila ng opurtunidad mag-aral ng libre, ano po ang karapatan natin para pigilan ito?

-Wala po akong natatandaang insidente sa ilang taon kong pagsubaybay sa liga na naging dahilan ang mga dayuhang manlalaro sa anumang kaguluhan sa liga. Mas madalas ang mga 'Purong Pilipino' pa po ang pinagmumulan ng mga gulong ito. Lalo po nitong pinagtitibay ang aking paniniwala na walang sapat na dahilan para hindi sila hayaang maglaro.

-Noong panahon po ng mga kastila, tayo pong mga Pilipino ay tinatawag na 'Indio' ng mga kastila at nakaranas ng matinding diskriminisasyon maging ang mga pinaka mahuhusay sa atin gaya ni Rizal. Kung ipatutupad niyo po ang patakarang ito, wala po tayong pinagkaiba sa mga kastila na nanghamak sa ating lahi noon.

-Sa halip na makasakit o makasira, sa tingin ko po ay nakakatulong pa ang mga dayuhang manlalaro hindi lamang sa ating liga kung hindi pati na rin sa ating mga 'Purong Pilipinong' manlalaro. Dahil po sa pag-angat ng antas ng kompetisyon ay napipilitan po ang mga 'Purong Pilipinong' manlalaro na itaas pa ang kalidad ng kanilang laro. Sa murang edad ng mga Pilipinong manlalaro ay nahahasa na sila sa antas ng kompetisyon na maari nilang magamit kung swertihin silang maging manlalaro ng Bansa sa mga kompetisyon tulad ng 'Olympics'.

Hindi ko po alam ang e-mail niyo kaya minarapat ko na lamang na dito isulat ang liham na ito. Sana po ay makarating sa inyo.

Ito po ay aking personal na opinyon lamang at hindi ko po nirerepresenta ang anumang organisasyon sa Letran.

Minarapat ko po na isulat ang liham na ito sa ating pambangsang wika bilang pag galang sa isa sa pinakamahusay na Letranista na si 'Manuel L. Quezon'.

Nakakatawa lang eh hinintay pa nilang matambakan sila bago mag protest

Again you conveniently overlooked the little details about that uniform violation which you violated more than once. In that CSB vs SBC match, Sam Ekwe used his old uniform because his jersey got stolen. No one from your side bothered to inform MANCOM about the incident and your coaching staff took it upon themselves to suit him up using an old jersey thinking that he can play. I'm sure it is honorable to win but by ignoring existing rules will reflect upon other members that it's okay to violate league rules that your school adhered to from the very beginning that it was enforced will make it dishonorable.

And please don't forget precedents. Your school is not the only one who violated it and I don't think CSB won a trophy over your school on that same year. And blowing it out of proportion by thinking that it was a conspiracy to ruin your quest which was never hindered to begin with. Stick with the issue at hand, because we're on the same page as far as foreign student athletes are concerned.

Don't worry, lesson learned. But the trend were very consistent ah.

[simon_son]

hahaha! you probably wouldn't recognize sarcasm if it hit you in the head.

You've been hit too much in the head by your own self, that much I can tell. .

Now can we get back to topic?

Ahihihihihi....

[Reptar]

Mukhang minamadali na nila to habang hindi pa nakakaboto Ang EAC at AU.

[ylle45]

Joey Villar ‏ @joey55villar
Oh. And by the way, recruiting foreign players will no longer be allowed starting the 90th NCAA season. So that's 2014.

[summit012]

eac or au might raise this issue again next year when they can already vote and try to overturn this racist decision

Eto malinaw: either pinanganak talaga silang mga racist or takot lang sila sa competition

NCAA set to bar foreign players
By Joey Villar (The Philippine Star)
MANILA, Philippines - Tapping foreign athletes will now be a thing of the past in the NCAA.

This came after the policy board, now chaired by Fr. Tamerlane Lana, OP, of Season 88 host Letran, had approved with finality a proposal disallowing member schools from recruiting and tapping foreign players.

Although approved, the NCAA is still deliberating and discussing when the new ruling will be implemented although sources said there is a plan to put it in practice three years from now, or in Season 90.

“Yes but maybe the non-acceptance of foreign players will be implemented on Season 90,” a source told The STAR yesterday.

The 2014 schedule is being proposed to give member schools a two-year transition period wherein they could form an all-Filipino team.

However, the new ruling, whose implementation will be discussed by the board in its next meeting before Season 88 opens in June, does not cover foreign players who have been recruited before its approval.

Di kaya kuryente to? Si Joey boy ang nagsulat eh

[AltarBoy^_^]

I think that by bringing this to the press, it will affect Fr. Lana & the rest of MANCOM in a way that will have them under the microscope of philippine basketball in terms of such a ban enforced. I do think some schools will side heavily on SBC's cause if voting is concerned. A resolution to enforce a "middle-ground" sanction would be the wisest action taken against "mercenary types" disguised as foreign student-athletes. A unified academic assessment test would be pushed as a concession to "qualify" them before they become eligible. But in terms of creating this test, it will be controversial again and lay more groundwork on redefining what a foreign student-athlete should be in and out of the hardcourt.

Ibang klase din tong pari na to talaga. kung Philippine Team nga eh may import. malamang against din siya sa Smart Gilas.
