Philippine National Teams - Past and Present

[Jay P. Mercado]

I've always felt that a dream of every cager is to suit up for the national team and represent his country carrying the flag's colors. We've been actively involved in international basketball competitions dating back to the 1936 Berlin Olympics where we were represented by the eminent former Senator Ambrosio Padilla.

This thread is all about our national teams in the past and present. I do not know if this has been archived for reference in other websites but I want to compile the list of players in the national teams that have suited up over the years.

Hope you can indulge us with your own list and thoughts.

Thanks!
