I am Joseph Emmanuel U. Tolentino but my nickname is Joel. My close friends call me “Joe” because I think it’s shorter and easier to say and faster! hehe! I was born March 12, 1991 and raised here in Quezon City. I have an older brother who is now 19 yrs old. Aside from basketball, I am fond of billiards, bowling, and badminton… In other words, I am really a sporty-type! When I have free time, I spend it with my family. Sometimes we go to the mall and watch movies. But sometimes I also spend it with my friends and hang out with them. I usually play computer games with my teammates and I think that it is our bonding time off the court! I am now in junior high at UPIS. To describe myself; I am a simple man, fun to be with, always jokes around but you can count on me if you need my help, humble and cute! Haha kidding!  But most of all I am friendly and approachable. Some people say that I’m sort of “mayabang” or something in the court. I think it’s the way I play basketball! I'm quite agressive. But off the court I am just a normal human being who is simple!haha J
