Allan Vito Flores Caidic (born June 15, 1963, Pasig, Rizal, Philippines) is a Filipino retired professional basketball player in the PBA.
He is considered by many to be the greatest shooter the country has ever produced, thus, earning the moniker, "The Triggerman". He played college hoops at the University of the East before joining the PBA in 1987, where he broke several Philippine and PBA all-time records—including the most points scored in a single game (79 points), the most three-point field goals made in a single game (17 triples; breaking his previous record of 15 triples), the most consecutive freethrows made (76), and the most three-point field goals in a career (1,242 triples; later surpassed by Jimmy Alapag).
He has played with several PBA teams and won numerous championships.
He played for the Philippine national basketball team including the 1998 Philippine Centennial Team. While in the league, he was considered one of the best three-point shooters in Asia.
The vaunted Chinese national basketball team recognized his ability by always reminding their players to be on the lookout for "Philippine No.
8", referring to Caidic's regular jersey number while playing for the National Team.
