                    [Summary] => Ibinasura kahapon ng Bureau of Immigration (BI) ang petisyon ng Amerikanong manlalaro na si Kenny Evans ng Cebu Gems  para makapaglaro sa bansa dahil hindi nito napatunayan o nakapagpakita ng mga dokumento na siya ay may dugong Pilipino.


Sinabi ni BI Commissioner Rufus Rodriguez, ang application for recognition ni Evans ay binalewala ng board of Commissioner dahil sa pagkabigo nitong patunayan na siya ay Pilipino.
