Very surprised pa rin naman.&quot;He still could not suit up immediately for the Dyip as he is yet to finish his stint with the Abra Weavers in another league—and it will last until December, depending on their campaign.&quot;Opo, yes,&quot; Chiu said when asked whether he&#x27;d still be with his MPBL team. &quot;Mga December po siguro. I think... if ever we reach the finals, then baka mga December po siya.&quot;Chiu said he&#x27;d talk about going over to Terrafirma practices just so he could jell with the team already.&quot;Napag-usapan namin na if ever may mga breaks kami, I could like come over and join team practices para lang, kahit paano, makapag-get together with the team and makapag-practice na rin,&quot; he said.&quot;Siguro depende po sa pag-usapan namin, like soon but I have yet to talk to them about the specific details of it.&quot;
