“While management regrets losing Harvey, who has been a great teammate, who leads with example and has been part of TNT Tropang Giga since he started his career in the PBA and helped us win championships, we do fully understand and appreciate the motivation of Harvey to stay with his family in the USA,” Vargas said in a statement Monday.
