Cansino’s tweet garnered 245 retweets, 242 quote retweets and 5,683 likes on the platform.
Several online users were amused by such a reaction to Tamayo.
Others also recalled that Cansino himself came from another school.
The 23-year-old basketball player is a transferee from the University of Santo Tomas Growling Tigers.
“Ngek. Yung ginawa mo sa UST ang unacceptable!” one user quipped with a laughing emoji.
Cansino and Tamayo were among the Fighting Maroons’ lineup when the university won its first UAAP championship in 36 years during Season 84.
The former, however, suffered an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury during this historic run. He has to recover for a year before being able to play again.
UP program director Bo Perasol, however, assured supporters that Cansino is still part of the team’s future games.
“That’s definite. He will be the future leader of next season,” Perasol was quoted in a report as saying last month.
Prior to Tamayo, UST’s Nicael Cabanero was also previously rumored to be offered to play for the Korean Basketball League.
As of writing, there are no updates yet about the alleged offer for Cabanero.
