“It was not an easy decision to make, especially since I’ve been in constant talks with TNT management, but right now, this is what’s best for me and my family,” he added.

“I will always be grateful for the opportunity to represent TNT and be part of such a special team and culture,” said the TNT Tropang Giga guard.
