The UAAP was quoted as saying that, “After viewing the recorded game between University of Sto. Tomas (UST) and National University (NU) dated last July 10, 2013, we had observed that with 1:20 minute remaining in the 2nd quarter, you were seen pushing UST player Jeric Teng to the floor,” Loyzaga said in a memo addressed to the NU player.
“An unsportsmanlike foul with the intention to hurt the opposing player should have been (–foul word(s) removed–)sed against you.” UAAP added. The memo will also served as a warning to Javillonar, and any future foul of any similar stature will merit a one-game suspension.
