00:07According to SBP Executive Director Erica D, there has been no change in direction for the national team regarding Boatwright,
00:15who has already attended several hearings in the House of Representatives for his naturalization.
00:21D added that they are now waiting for the schedule of the succeeding hearings to move forward with Boatwright's bid to become a Filipino.
00:28Boatwright first made his mark in the Philippines after leading the San Miguel Beerman to the 2024 PBA Commissioner's Cup Championship as their import.
00:35He is set to play in Taiwan for the Taipei Fumon Braves, something he considers a positive development
00:41as it allows Boatwright to easily fly to the Philippines whenever needed for his naturalization process.
