                    [Summary] => The Metropolitan Basketball Association (MBA) is clamping down on Fil-Ams and starting this season, new hires of the Fil-foreign variety are being required Department of Justice (DOJ) clearance to enter the four-year-old pro league.


That’s why highly-touted Fil-Am guard Robert Johnson of Bellevue University, Nebraska, still isn’t sure of playing for Pangasinan coach Lawrence Chongson. The word is Johnson’s been offered a P150,000 monthly salary but the contract is contingent on his DOJ clearance.
