“From the beginning, you all welcomed me with open arms during the most difficult time of my life, and for that I will be forever grateful,” Rosario wrote.
“It hasn’t been an easy road and there have been moments where I doubted myself, but you guys never stopped believing in me. Even when I was struggling to find my footing, you all persevered.” And they showed support, and that made a big difference.”

Rosario was traded to Blackwater in 2022 in a three-team trade that somehow changed the face of the league.
Rosario was traded to Blackwater along with Gabe Banal in the Brandon Ganuelas-Rosser trade, and NLEX sent Calvin Oftana and Raul Soyud to the Tropang Giga.
Since then, Rosario has become one of the anchors of a team that has yet to find its footing.

“Thank you to my bosses and management team for placing their trust in me and giving me the opportunity to represent this team. To my coaches, thank you for your continued guidance in helping me grow as a player and as a person. Masu.”
“To my teammates, words cannot express how much I appreciate each and every one of you. We have been through good times and bad together, and those memories will stay with me forever.” I will remain inside.”
As of this writing, Rosario has yet to announce his next move. He is currently an unrestricted free agent and is free to consider any options presented to him.
