LETRAN has appealed before the NCAA Management Committee the suspension meted on Pao Javillonar that will keep him out in the early part of the men's basketball tournament of NCAA Season 100.

Javillonar was selected No. 19 overall by the FiberXers in the recent PBA draft.
The Knights wrote the ManCom a letter asking that the suspension be cut to just one game.
If the three-game suspension stays, Javillonar will miss Letran's opening games against San Sebastian, Jose Rizal University, and Arellano University.
ManCom Chairman Herc Callanta of host Lyceum later admitted during the formal presser of the league's Season 100 at the Mall of Asia Arena about the appeal made by Letran.
"We don't want to talk about the matter right now because the case is on appeal," said Callanta.
