Lefty Davaoeno Gilas sharpshooter Allyn Bulanadi wins fishing contest in Sultan Kudarat

DAVAO CITY –Lefty Davaoeno sharpshooter and Gilas member Allyn Bulanadi won a fishing contest dubbed as Drag Adik mini jigging tournament in the seas of Palembang, Sultan Kudarat last January 7.

Bulanadi, a neophyte in the sport, won after he caught a 29-kilogram Yellowfin Tuna.

The lefty sharpshooter was happy with his win and thanked Ryoshi Pro Outfitters for sponsoring the fishing contest.

Earlier, it was reported that Bulanadi could join the roster of the Alaska Aces in the suspended 2022 PBA Governor's Cup if Gilas Pilipinas basketball officials decide not to renew his contract with the team which ends on February 1.

It was learned that the PBA management already told Gilas players who do not have any more contracts with the team that they can already join the PBA team which drafted them before they were loaned to the Gilas basketball program.

Aces head coach Jeff Cariaso said he will be glad if Bulaadi can join them soon since he can contribute a lot to the team especially in scoring.

"If you were to ask me, I'd love to have him as soon as possible," Cariaso said.

"I think it's time to allow the Gilas draftees to choose where they want to play," Cariaso added.

Bulanadi for his part said he is discussing his next plans with his manager saying he loves to play with the Aces soon if given the chance.

"Ang tagal na rin kasi akong walang basketball. I think two years na kasi nga I got injured. But so far, so good naman yung recovery. I think 100-percent na," Bulanadi said.

Bulanadi, who was drafted fourth by the Alaska Aces in the 2019 PBA draft, is a former high school basketball varsity of Assumption School of Davao.

He started to make a name in Metro Manila while playing for the San Sebastian Stags where he is known as a deadly shooter.

He also played in the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League (MPBL) for Basilan Steel.(Romeo Braceros Jr.)
