THE House of Representatives has approved on third and final reading the measure granting Philippine citizenship to Gilas Pilipinas prospect and Philippine Basketball Association import Justin Donta Brownlee of Barangay Ginebra.
“This is the House’s humble contribution to the national basketball team’s quest for glory in the FIBA World Cup. Anything is possible if you put your heart or ‘puso’ into it,” Speaker Martin G. Romualdez said. “Speaking of puso, we commend Justin for his desire in joining Gilas Pilipinas in this path, to represent the Philippines which is his home in this corner of the world.”
Brownlee, 34, originally from Georgia in the United States has been very forthcoming to lawmakers about his plans of suiting up for Gilas. The measure mandates that Brownlee “shall take the Oath of Allegiance to the Republic of the Philippines before an officer duly authorized to administer the same.”“Upon registration of the Oath of Allegiance, the Bureau of Immigration shall issue a Certificate of Naturalization to Justin Donta Brownlee who shall thereupon enter into the full enjoyment of Philippine citizenship,” it further said.
