Alex Compton is an American. His parents are both Americans. Yet, he chose to live in the Philippines after growing up here. He speaks very fluent tagalog (and a splash of the Ilokano dialect). He is a great basketball player and once played for the MBA (before it closed down.) Time and time again he has tried to enter the PBA but never made it because of his foreign citizenship. He can play, but only as an import.

In a country that likes to make exceptions from the norm… shouldn’t we make one for an “adoptive” son? That has made our country his home and even acts more Filipino than others?

I think we should… so please let the man play…
