RATHER than face the humiliation of being deported,  Red Bull’s beleaguered players  Mick Pennisi and Davonn Harp left the country on Saturday to return to Australia and the United States, respectively,  and seek more pieces of evidence to bolster their Filipino citizenship.            In separate press statements furnished  sportswriters covering the Philippine Basketball Association on Sunday,  Pennisi and Harp said they were leaving to gather supporting documents that would help them to return the country and continue their career in the league.

Both said they were departing “with heavy hearts.” They instructed their respective lawyers to continue their legal actions with Court of Appeals in securing a temporary restraining order to stop the Bureau of Immigration from deporting them.
