“To the UP community and to the team’s fans, salamat kaayo; I cannot thank you enough for your prayers and for your support. Whatever colors I wear in the years to come, my heart will always bleed maroon,” Carl Tamayo wrote.
Japan Basketball League“I would like to share with everyone that I have been invited to play in the Japanese B-League, and after consulting my family, Coach Gold, my teammates, and the UPMBT management, I have decided to accept the offer to play professionally in Japan,” Tamayo wrote on Instagram.
He also took to the social media platform to thank the UP Community for “opening the doors of opportunity” for him. “If there is one thing I learned as a member of the UP Maroons, it is that we can count on the UP community to support us through thick or thin,” wrote Tamayo. “Ito ang sinasabi nila nung hindi pa ako myembro ng Maroons, at ito ang nakita ko nung suot ko na ang maroon jersey ko: UP has the loudest, most supportive fans in the UAAP. Matatapang, matatalino, walang takot kahit kanino,” the 6-foot-7 forward continued.“Becoming a professional basketball player is a dream I have had ever since I started playing organized basketball. It will allow me to care of my family while playing the game that I love,” Tamayo said.
“To the UP community and to the team’s fans, salamat kaayo; I cannot thank you enough for your prayers and for your support. Whatever colors I wear in the years to come, my heart will always bleed maroon,” the former Rookie of the Year concluded.
