Belo signs with Rain or Shine
NEARLY two weeks since the trade, Mac Belo has signed a contract with Rain or Shine.
Belo inked a one-year contract with the Elasto-Painters, who acquired the rights to the former Far Eastern University forward by sending Norbert Torres to Meralco on May 18. Belo’s contract with the Bolts expired in April.
Other details of the contract were not divulged.
Rain or Shine coach Yeng Guiao is hoping Belo can rise as a rotation player after seeing limited action with Meralco for the past two years.
