Player’s Profile:
Is a Filipino American professional basketball player currently playing for the San Miguel Beermen in the Philippine Basketball Association. He previously played for the Pasig-Rizal Pirates in the defunct Metropolitan Basketball Association before being recruited by the Beermen to play for them.
A Mythical Five member in the 2004-05 season, the 6-7 slotman was relegated to the Second Team the following year.
In the last two years, Pena has become one of the most dependable big men in the league. He was one of the only three locals to average in double-double last season, the other two being Eric Menk and Asi Taulava, both former Most Valuable Player winners.
Pena averaged a career-best 13.2 points and 11.5 boards per game last season and is now clearly one of the most consistent players not only for the Beermen, but also in the PBA.
