UAAP ELIGIBILITY SCANDAL

Is Ateneo guilty, too?

By Julius Manicad

06/24/2006

After the eligibility scandal that rocked La Salle out of the
University Athletics Association of the Philippines (UAAP) for one
season, Ateneo de Manila was yesterday dragged into a similar case
as documents purported the Blue Eagles have also hired two
ineligible players to boost their basketball campaign for two
seasons.

Documents obtained by the Tribune named prized center Japeth Aguilar
and Jobe Nkemakolam as having questionable eligibility status due to
several inconsistencies in their high school records at the Reedley
International School.

Aguilar, however, will not suit up for the Eagles this year as he
was sent to the United States to bid for a spot in a National
Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA) Division I.

Sources claimed Aguilar's departure was timed to coincide with the
release of his records from Reedley, where he actually spent his
junior and senior years in 2002 and 2003 while he was still enrolled
at the Mapua Institute of Technology.

Agents for the Ateneo squad recruited Aguilar in 2002 soon after the
conclusion of the NCAA tournament before he was enrolled in Reedley.

Aguilar's high school records, however, showed he was still with
Mapua in the second semester of 2003 while was also enrolled with
Reedley for the entire 2003, a case of double enrolment.

Reedley follows the normal school schedule from June to March and
does not accept tranferees for Grade 12.

Nkemakolam, meanwhile, played for San Sebastian College in 2001 and
was part of the RP Youth Team in 2002 prior to his enrolment for
Grade 11 at Reedley in 2003.

While his UAAP records claim to have passed all requirements and is
eligible for Grade 12 the following year, he was instantly drafyed
in the Blue Eagles' roster in the same year without completing his
secondary education.

But Ateneo junior representative to the UAAP board Ricky Palou
belittled the documents, stressing they were mean as a demolition
job to destroy Ateneo's credibility.

Palou also added since Ateneo admission director, Fr. Nemesio Nebres
SJ, is very strict on the athletes' documents, it is impossible for
Aguilar and Nkemakolam to make the grade if they were cheats.

"They should file the complaint to the UAAP board and not to the
media," Palou said, challenging the source of the document. "They
should bare their names and sign it so they will look credible to us
and to the public as well."

He added they willing to face the complaint to prove their
innocence.

Isn't it ironic...

DLSU was saying that... nobody filed a FORMAL COMPLAINT against them... and yet they were handed out a 1-year suspension.

K-A-R-M-A!

pero tagal na tong issue na to eh. Ever since the DLSU issue came out this has been going around. Someone even posted the grades of the Jobe online in one of the dlsu forums, but wala naman nangyayari dito puro speculations and rumor mongering.

My cousin was a team mate of Jobe in Reedley and he said Jobe took the PEP test...

BTW, i was told before that grade 12 was already equivalent to 5th year in HS; can someone verify this?

At this point i don't see any depth to the accusations.

[laklak]

may or may not be true, who knows? But all i can say is, if there is smoke, there must be a fire somewhere.

Kala ko naman purong atenista si aguilar, recruit lang pala

[nmtin]

The case of dlsu iba naman talaga eh- amindao na agad sila eh.

Gumawa na lang ulit ng bagong UAAP..para tapos na..hehe..
