Arwind Santos gets to play under his mentor Delta Pineda during the twilight of his career.
Santos will be playing for Pampanga for the remainder of the 2023 Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball Playoffs, which begins this Friday.
The Giant Lanterns embark on their quest for their first title in the country’s regional league on Friday, as they face Marikina in a best-of-three series at the Bren Z. Guiao Convention Center.
The 42-year-old Santos’ contract with Northport expired last month.
On November 8, 2021, Santos was traded by San Miguel to Northport in exchange for Vic Manuel.
Santos spent 12 years with the Beermen.
Last season, he played 21 games with Northport but only suited up for four games during the season-ending Governors’ Cup.
In Pampanga, he joins two stalwarts in Justine Baltazar and Encho Serrano.
The Giant Lanterns finished the elimination round with a 26-2 record.
