Meralco officially acquired Belo last week, in a trade that sent veteran point guard Baser Amer and big man Bryan Faundo to Blackwater. It marked the first time in his career that Belo has been traded, after he was selected first overall by the Bossing in the special round of the 2016 PBA Rookie Draft.
"Marami naman akong mga teammates dati sa Blackwater na nandoon na rin sa Bolts," he said. "So, parang 'di na rin bago kasi naging teammate ko rin sila sa Elite before."Watch more in iWantTFC Belo is now looking forward to a fresh start with Meralco, where he is expected to beef up a frontline anchored by Raymond Almazan and Reynel Hugnatan.
He is ready to do most of his work on the defensive end -- the area of the game where Belo first made a name for himself in Far Eastern University.
