Joseph Yeo
Filipino basketball player
Joseph Henry Lim Yeo (born September 7, 1983) is a Filipino former professional basketball player. Nicknamed "The Ninja", he was drafted third overall by the Coca-Cola Tigers in 2006. He played 11 years in the PBA, winning two titles before having two different stints in the MPBL.
Early life and amateur career
Yeo had been playing basketball since he was four years old, often against his cousin or his father. He looked up to PBA player Vergel Meneses. His father guided his development, enrolling him at a MILO basketball clinic. He took his primary and secondary education at Xavier School. In his senior year, he, alongside Ty Tang and Chris Tiu, led the Xavier Golden Stallions to a Tiong Lian Juniors title.
Yeo then played for the De La Salle Green Archers. Other schools from the NCAA tried to recruit him, but he chose DLSU as it was his dream school. He had also been practicing with DLSU since his third year of high school.

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Joseph Yeo”, the useful work is to connect “filipino basketball player” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Biographical claims are most persuasive when dates, appointments and relationships can be traced to records created close to the events described. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 17, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q12965461. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1983 and 2006.
Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
