MANILA - Barangay Ginebra’s resident import Justin Brownlee has officially secured his Filipino citizenship, according to Sen. Francis Tolentino on Thursday.

Tolentino said President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. during the day signed into law the bill granting the Gilas prospect Filipino citizenship.

This means Brownlee will be able to join the national basketball team.

But first he must make an oath of allegiance to the Philippines and secure a Philippine passport.

They will play against Lebanon and Jordan at the Philippine Arena in Bulacan.
