To The Bangui Basketball Committee:

This pertains to the prior stipulations on the eligibility of Mr. Estrelles of

team AMB to play in the 2024 Bangui Basketball League. First and foremost,

after careful review of the aforementioned rules governing the eligibility of

players which pertains to residence the rules are deemed unconstitutional. It is

a clear violation of Section 6, Article 3 of our Constitution: “The liberty of abode

and of changing the same within the limits prescribed by law shall not be

impaired except upon lawful order of the court.” Furthermore, a clear violation

of Section 4 of Presidential Decree 431 which states: “Who may be registered in

the permanent list of barangay members. Every person, literate or not, fifteen

years of age or over, who has resided in the barangay for at least six months

and who is a Filipino citizen shall register with any of the registration officers of

the barangay where he resides.” These laws should and always will supersede

does that are below it. Regardless if you are implying that an individual can

only be a residence from the rules which you have provided including such the

term “affinity” you are in clear violation of the Constitution and legal sanctions

will apply duly noted that this will be an administrative manner.

Furthermore, the use of the latin maxim “expressio unius est exclusio

alterius” (What is not included is deemed excluded) hence we will also apply

Expressio unius, exclusio alterius. The expression of one thing is the exclusion
of the other if any other players in the league does not qualify neither one of

your rules then the said can be applied to them.

If this is to not reach an amicable settlement that we suggest to retain

the score but to remove Mr. Estrelles as our player to the next and incoming

games and void of fines that arose from this predicament.
