John Amores: PBA Player at the Center of a Shooting Incident in Laguna
In a startling turn of events, John Amores, a player for the NorthPort Batang Pier in the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA), has found himself embroiled in yet another controversy—this time involving a shooting incident in Laguna. Reports indicate that Amores is now being sought by police following an altercation that escalated into violence. Fortunately, no casualties were reported, but the incident has raised significant concerns regarding Amores' future in professional basketball.
The incident occurred after a basketball game in Lumban, Laguna, where Amores allegedly got into a heated argument with another individual, identified as Lee Cacalda. Eyewitness accounts and police reports reveal that Amores confronted Cacalda, reportedly saying, "dun tayo magsuntukan," which translates to "let's fight there." Following this exchange, Amores pursued Cacalda on motorcycles to Barangay Maytalang Uno, where he allegedly used a firearm to shoot at Cacalda. This brazen act took place in broad daylight along the National Road, with CCTV footage capturing the unfolding drama. Thankfully, no one was injured during the incident.

Local law enforcement has launched a manhunt for Amores, implementing a dragnet operation aimed at his apprehension. The NorthPort management has been made aware of the situation, and the PBA community is left reeling from the implications of this incident. It places Amores' career in jeopardy, especially considering his history of controversies, the most notable being a violent rampage in November 2022. During a game against the College of Saint Benilde while playing for the Jose Rizal University Heavy Bombers, Amores was involved in a fight that led to his indefinite suspension from the NCAA.
Despite these setbacks, Amores was given a second chance in professional basketball when he was drafted by NorthPort in the fifth round of the PBA draft, securing the 51st overall pick. His performance in the recent Governors’ Cup was average; he averaged 5.1 points and 1.6 rebounds per game, with shooting statistics that showed some potential. However, this latest incident could potentially derail his career once again.
The timing of this incident is particularly troubling as it comes just days after NorthPort concluded their campaign in the Governors’ Cup, finishing with a record of 3-7. Amores had recently signed a one-year contract with NorthPort, and his future with the team is now uncertain as the organization evaluates its options in light of this latest scandal.
As the investigation unfolds and law enforcement intensifies its efforts to locate him, the basketball community watches closely. John Amores’ actions not only reflect on him personally but also carry significant implications for the PBA and its reputation. With a promising career that seems to be overshadowed by recurring controversies, it remains to be seen what the future holds for Amores and whether he will be able to redeem himself once again in the eyes of fans and league officials alike.
