Player Profile:

Butel’s inside presence is enough factor why he made it to the big league. At 6-foot-7, Butel was known during amateur days as aggressive rebounder and blocker. Sometimes a post threat who ready to turn offensive boards to points.

Sta. Lucia Realty tapped his services to help Marlou Aquino and Dennis Espino to do the dirty work in the shaded lane. Aside from that, his physical type of game is tailor-fit to the new rules of PBA.

Butel also has a good working ethics that’s why he was signed by Sta. Lucia Realty for one-year.

When buddies Ronald Tubid, James Yap, Paul Artadi and Nino KG Canaleta entered the PBA, Philip Butel stayed in the amateur playing for Philippine Basketball League (PBL) to hone his skills in the shaded lane.

His long patience and hard work have finally paid off when the Realtors signed him up.
