Someone has inquired about the real story of this player included in the 2005 and 2003 UAAP edition of the Far Eastern University Tamaraws.

But due to the ongoing investigation, this site will not reveal his name to protect the player’s image and the reputation of the personalities around him.

An insider from a highly-respected school, requesting anonymity, told www.inboundpass.com a week ago that there might be an issue on this 6-foot-2 player regarding his true age and personality – something the UAAP board must know.

“FEU is hiding something about the true identity of the guy. The guy is no longer eligible last year,�? said by the highly-respected source who also said that the true birth record of this very versatile player is not 1986 but March 16, 1983.

“If La Salle and UST were involved before, why don’t you look the FEU team,�? he said. “Age is not the only concern here but the player’s whole personality.�?

If he was born in 1986, he is already 23-years-old which makes him eligible for the coming season. But if he was born in 1983, he is already 26-year-old and already ineligible play, even in Season 70.

Former Far Eastern University head coach Bert Flores, said he has no idea about it but made an assurance that all FEU players are below 24 years old.

“I don’t know about it but I’m sure the players are all okay,�? said Flores . “The school will not allow that to happen.�?

Anton Montinola, FEU’s UAAP board representative, and current FEU head coach Glenn Capacio were not available for comment.

FEU is currently competing in the Fil-Oil Flying V Pre Season Tournament and Nike Summer Basketball League.
