Former Adamson Soaring Falcons standout Didat Hanapi has signed a two-year contract with Terrafirma in the PBA, his agent Edgar Mangahas confirmed to ALL-STAR Magazine.

The 22-year-old wingman who stands at 6-foot-2 was taken 17th overall in the 2024 PBA Draft by Ginebra but was quickly traded after the draft to the often-rebuilding Terrafirma.

Hanapi will get the opportunity to showcase his abilities which people got to see a preview of in his final UAAP campaign with the Nash Racela-coached team, and then in the MPBL with the Manila Stars.

He averaged 6.8 points a contest in UAAP Season 86 then recorded 6.1 points on 15.3 minutes per game in 17 MPBL performances.

Terrafirma is coming off a playoff appearance last PBA conference but had an eventful offseason. The team lost up-and-coming star Javi Gomez De Liaño as he chose to sign in the KBL while Rookie of the Year and MVP candidate Stephen Holt was traded along with Isaac Go to Ginebra for Christian Standhardinger and Stanley Pringle.

The deal also saw a swap between both teams’ first-round picks in the draft, with Ginebra ultimately selecting RJ Abarrientos while Terrafirma drafted former DLSU Green Archer Mark Nonoy.
