MANILA, Philippines—“Superman” obtained a message for his Filipino followers.
Whereas Dwight Howard posting a hilarious Tiktok video on Instagram wasn’t a lot of a shock, his message to the nation’s basketball followers was a bit uncommon—in a great way.
Some basketball icons need their arrival to the nation to be stored a secret. In reality, some basketball groups that competed within the 2023 Fiba World Cup didn’t disclose their arrival in public.
Not Howard, although.
“Meet me on the airport on Saturday, January 6, for the prospect to get your image with me and autograph,” wrote the NBA veteran.
“Let me know within the feedback what issues I ought to do or what locations I ought to go to after I arrive! Let’s go Philippines, I’m on the way in which.”

Howard was tapped by Philippine aspect Sturdy Group for the Dubai Worldwide Basketball Event slated for January 19-28.
The video connected to Howard’s Instagram put up was of him making a skit about ordering Jollibee “for the thirtieth time.”
It looks like the Filipino native meals chain caught the NBA champion’s eye as quickly as he was confirmed to play for the nation.
