Point guard Jerom Lastimosa, who is from the Philippines, has gone through anguish and grief before emerging as Adamson’s unquestionable star.
Jerom Lastimosa, the point guard for Adamson University, is setting the bar high with his passionate play in the present UAAP Season 85.
Despite having established himself as not just Adamson’s top gun but also maybe the finest point guard in the country’s college basketball scene, the De La Salle student-athlete stated in an interview following his loss that his parents were upset.
The 24-year-old Adamson’s guard joined fellow starter Vince Magbuhos on the sidelines after the seasoned forward’s right knee injury against the Maroons, leading to a terrible 91-70 thrashing.

Sources claim that the PBA salary cap has increased from P47 million to P420,000 per month for players and P50 million for each team.
Although these incentives can only be worth a maximum of P6,000 during elimination rounds, P8,000 during quarterfinals, and P10,000 during championship games, ballclubs are still allowed to give players bonuses for victories under the PBA.
A Division 2 team is prepared to pay at least $7,000 a month for Lastimosa to take his talents to the Land of the Rising Sun, according to a recent report from an international agent.
If Jerom performs as expected, his next contract, like those of other Asian immigrants, may bring in up to $20,000 per month for him.
Jojo stopped playing basketball in 2002. Some NBA players have crossover contracts with the D-league and make as low as $50,000 per year, even though their average salary is about $2 million.
UAAP, Jerom Lastimosa’s Parents, Who Are They?
Fernando Lastimosa and Sarita Lastimosa, Jerom’s parents, were living in Negros Oriental, Philippines when he was born.
Sarita, his mother, runs a wet market while Fernando, Jerom’s father, drives a tricycle.
Jerom, who came from a middle-class family, had a bright future. He made plans to play in the nation’s capital on a bigger stage and in brighter lighting after realizing the opportunity to help his parents out financially.
Despite his captivating games, his parents required more persuasion because their then-minor son was already capable of supporting himself.
Jerom stated in an ESPN interview that his parents first opposed him traveling alone to Manila, but that they eventually changed their minds.
