Kobe Paras calls out UAAP for Thirdy Ravena disqualification
Ravena, a Mythical Five member in the past two seasons, won't be taking home an individual award after he was suspended by the league

MANILA, Philippines – UP Fighting Maroons’ Kobe Paras didn’t pull punches after giving his take on Ateneo Blue Eagles star Thirdy Ravena’s disqualification from winning an individual award in UAAP Season 81. 

Ravena, a Mythical Five member in the past two seasons, won’t be taking home a personal honor in the yearend awards after he was suspended by the league, and Paras is enraged about it. 

The second-generation cager and son of PBA great Benjie Paras took to Twitter to call out the UAAP. 

“UAAP, I bet my life that the person who disqualified Thirdy doesn’t even hoop or hasn’t even touched/played with a damn basketball before,” Paras wrote on his Twitter account @_kokoparas. 

“Y’all so weak.” 


Ravena was slapped with a one-game suspension by the UAAP this week after he was seen landing a closed fist on UP’s Paul Desiderio during Ateneo’s 83-66 win last October 14. 


The league just gave a warning for the punch but upgraded it to an unsportsmanlike foul upon further review, thus suspending the Blue Eagles stalwart in their clash against the FEU Tamaraws on Saturday, October 20. 

Ravena has since apologized to Desiderio.
