"Thank you, UP! Words cannot express the gratitude I feel towards the UP community, all of my supporters outside of UP, and the Philippines as a whole for this past year," said the 6-foot-6 cager in a post on his Instagram account.

"These two seasons have been unlike anything I thought I’d ever experience in my career. It has been a great honor in my life to be able to put on the jersey and something I will be proud of forever."
