A SECOND chance.
Former Ateneo star playmaker Forthsky Padrigao has moved to the University of Santo Tomas in a move seen as a second wind in his collegiate career.
Fr. Rodel Cansancio, OP, UST’s athletic director, confirmed Padrigao’s transfer from Katipunan to España for both his life and basketball career.
“Siya ang lumapit sa amin and he said he wants to have a second chance after everything that has happened to him. We’re a Catholic school and who are we to judge someone who wants reparation?” Cansancio said of the 5-foot-11 guard seeking to put his past behind after leaving the Blue Eagles last August.
Cansancio bared Padrigao has enrolled at the Institute of Physical Education and Athletics (IPEA) and has attended practices of the Growling Tigers.
Padrigao left Ateneo after he was deemed ineligible to play due to academic woes.
