Organizing The Philippine Leagues

Okay my opinion is that San Beda College should not join the UAAP or any other NCAA schools for that matter should not be conduits. Instead the leagues should strengthen themselves. As i have suggested an Elite Eight at the playoff rounds is more enticing as the winners go on to the Final Four. I know the UAAP has only eight member universities that is why they have to expand to at least ten. The University of Asia and the Pacific has long been rumored to join the club so why not next year? International schools will no doubt add spice to the UAAP, NCAA, NCRAA, UCBL, etc. Not to mention the Christian schools and public schools. Aside from the UA&P, i am curious whether these schools are up to UAAP standards - iAcademy, CIE British School, Enderun Colleges, Southville International School, Brent International School and Faith Academy. Notable foreign players who played in the UAAP are University of the Philippines' Robson Bornancin and Ateneo's Kirk Long. However they are not allowed to play in the PBA as they enforce Jus Sanguinis the law of the blood as opposed to Jus Soli the law of the soil. I wonder whether the new league Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League will the footsteps of the Metropolitan Basketball Association. The MBA has allowed foreigners who were born in the Philippines to play here re: Alex Compton, who played for a Division 1 NCAA School.
