"He passed away during practice. No reason yet (coming) from the hospital," said Sy in a short text message.
Sketchy reports said the former San Sebastian stalwart collapsed while practicing with the Elite and was rushed to the Capitol Medical Center. Efforts to revive him, however, were unsuccessful

Bulawan was drafted in the second round of the 2011 draft and played for the Meralco Bolts and the Barako Bull Energy before finding his way to expansion team Blackwater.
