Currently playing with Letran in the NCAA, Omega was the 20th overall pick by the Elasto Painters in the recent draft.
Rain or Shine is eager to make a splash this season after four straight semifinal appearances.
To realize their championship aspirations, the Elasto Painters signed free agent Stanely Pringle in the offseason.
With the addition of the four-time PBA champion with Ginebra and former Scoring Champ, there’s no doubt Rain or Shine is gunning for its first title since 2016.
