MANILA, Philippines -- University of the Philippines made a big offseason splash by securing the commitment of Carl Tamayo and Gerry Abadiano, who both starred for Nazareth School of National Univers

ity in high school.

In the case of Tamayo, they got some help from his aunt, who raised Tamayo and paid for his schooling. Mary Anne, whom Tamayo considers as a second mother, is a UP alumna."And Gerry, siyempre, we told him that ang programa namin is long term," he explained. "Alam niyang wala kaming point guard and shooting guard in the future. So he saw, they saw the opportunity to play for our program.

Tamayo, a two-time Finals MVP in the juniors division, averaged 11.64 points and 9.29 rebounds last year, forming a fearsome frontcourt tandem with Quiambao. At 6-foot-7, he can play both forward positions and even center for UP."They have the experience, championship experience. At nakalaro namin ito, sila... there were a lot of times na naglaro kami with the NU high school team, at ang katawan nila handa na," he said.
