Pangalangan cut, Bataller out, Fajarito in for Letran


Jay Pangalangan has been cut by another collegiate team.

The 6-foot-9 center out of Pampanga is not part of Colegio de San Juan de Letran’s final roster for the NCAA Season 97 Seniors Basketball tournament which fires off this Saturday at La Salle Green Hills.

Sources have told Tiebreaker Times that the now 24-year-old Pangalangan is no longer part of Letran as well and is dealing with injuries.

This is Pangalanan’s third school after spending two years in De La Salle University and another two years in College of Saint Benilde. He never suited up for either the UAAP or the NCAA.
