What's your greatest strength?
I'm close to God.
What do you think you have to improve on right now?
My self-control. Sometimes I get carried away by my emotions or I forget my responsibilities.
How do you feel about the Green Archers not making it to the final two?
I feel bad, of course. But I'm glad that our team was able to make it to the final four because that was our expectation during the start of the season since we're just a rookie team.
Who is your best friend among the Green Archers?
Macmac Cardona.
Have you ever experienced being called or felt like people whispering "Uy, si Yeo!" while walking inside the mall or any public place?
Yes. [Mom recounts that when the Archers wona against the Eagles, and Joseph and his friends were celebrating in a restaurant, a parent came and asked for Yeo's signature. "Hiyang hiya nga si Joseph eh."]
Which other schools tried to recruit you after high school? Was it a 'dream come true' for you to play for La Salle?
Other schools from the NCAA also recruited me but ever since grade school I wanted to play for DLSU.
Ever been roughed- or trash-talked in your basketball career? If so, how do you respond?
Yes, sometimes I don't mind them. But if it's too much already I tell them bad stuff as well [laughing].
Ever got scolded by Coach Franz Pumaren?
Yes, a lot of times!
Do you ever get to log on the internet and check out the various UAAP devoted sites or even fan sites such as Joseph Yeo Online?
Sometimes.
Who is your favorite existing UAAP player?
None.
What sport are you lousiest at?
Swimming.
What do you feel towards the Blue Eagle team right now?
I think that they're an experienced team.
What would make you get mad on court?
When the opponent plays roughly and the referee makes bad calls.
What were some of your most memorable games?
The 65th season, second round game against UST because I made the three-point shot that tied our score with UST and sent the game to overtime.
What are some of your embarassing scenes on court?
When I get blocked by opponents and people start shouting bad things that sometimes affect my confidence.
When you get discouraged, what motivates you to go on?
I just pray and hope that things will get better.
What did you dream of becoming when you were growing up?
To be a basketball player. Nagkatotoo nga.
