Marcus Douthit who is the biggest RP-Smart Gilas national basketball developmental team’s reinforcement, wants to obtain a Filipino Citizenship in order for him to become a full pledge Smart Gilas Player. He's a former NCAA Division 1 in the USA player. He played for the Providence Friars.
A majority vote of 212-9 on the House of Representatives’ third and final reading of House Bill 2307 enabled the 2004 draft pick of the Los Angeles Lakers to move closer to getting Philippine citizenship. Douthit’s next stop will be the Senate. Hopefully he'll be allowed to play for the Philippines.
His mother is a filipina while his father is a black american. I was able to get his short biography from Friars.com:
