MANILA, Philippines — The #NewUAAPRule will be imposed immediately, after all.

More than 2 weeks after a Senate hearing on proposed amendments to it, the new residency rule approved by the league has been upheld by the UAAP Board of Trustees in its annual meeting, Tuesday, April 16.

In a statement sent to Rappler, UAAP President Nilo Ocampo said that the controversial rule that requires players transferring from one UAAP school to another to serve 2 years of residency will be implemented effective UAAP Season 76.

“The Board is working on the explanatory rules on the application of the said residency requirement and will finalize the same within the month,” added Ocampo. – Rappler.com
