Answer 3

He can apply as an import. As a local, he is not eligible to apply. One of his parents should be a filipino to be eligible. If he's good, he can play as an import. There is a conference wherein imports are allowed.

Answer 4

The only place he can apply is in the Philippines! They post an application for Rookie Camp before the P.B.A. Draft or P.B.L. Draft! One more option if he's playing a league here then a scout from Philippines saw how good your husband is, Maybe they can offer him to play in our country! (Like Mark Caguioa) and i think your husband needs to apply for a dual citizenship!

Good Luck!
