First of all, let me clarify that I'm not involved with the TAO corporation, national team, PBA, UAAP, NCAA or any school team. Like many others here, I'm just an avid watcher/fan of Philippine basketball.

That being said, let me share what I have previously mentioned in numerous fora, that its easy to criticize, to wit:

1. NU for not releasing Ray Parks to the U-18;
2. The Parks family for being overly concerned about security issue in Yemen and not exerting effort to join the team;
3. Ateneo for its perceived stand not to allow Ravena & Pessumal to the U-18;
4. San Beda for not releasing Amer & Gotladera; and
5. Rosser and Holt families for not allowing their children to take time off school and travel halfway around the world.

Every year, its the same criticisms.

Thing is, its so easy to ask everyone to sacrifice when they do not have a direct stake (i.e. whether it be time, resources) or commitment in the project.

Bystanders and kibitzers are such know-it-alls with their holier than thou attitude. Except when push comes to shove they cannot really contribute anything tangible to the Philippine campaign.

If you were Bobby Parks, would you risk the security threat to your son in perceived Al-Queda outpost?

If you were James Rosser, would you also pull your son out of class, take an unscheduled vacation leave from work and spend your own money for accompany your son to Yemen, possibly putting both in harm's way?

If you were San Beda or Ateneo, would you risk loaning your players (who are on scholarship and probably receive a small food allowance) when there are missed class time (necessitating payment of overtime for teachers when they get back), a small possiblity of injury and a great possibility of said players being poached by NU (see DLSU - Franz Pumaren youth team)?

Before criticizing, try to "walk in the shoes" of the targeted individuals. Donate money (equivalent to one year's salary) to the national team or take one year off volunteer for the cause and work for FREE. Become a tutor or driver or do laundry for the national team for FREE. After that, you might find the view quite different.

Thanks, that is him. Anybody have pictures or profile of Brandon? To bad his parents beg him off to play for national team. Could have been a big help. Maybe next time. But I'm still impress we played well and our big men which are still small men in other teams standard did there role and sacrifice a lot. Kudos to Ferrer, Del Rosario, Escoto, etc. They sacrifice there scoring to box out and defend.

I hope we don't become complacent in our group and play the same type of intensity. If we play that type of game we can defeat any team in this tournament.

Other than Ravena (and Parks), who else in this line-up has the potential to join "Smart Gilas 2"?

Quite honestly, I haven't seen Ravena or anyone play.

Please pray for our team, aside from the game itself vs Yemen, more importantly for their lives. Got word they are afraid for their safety. Its a bit hazy but they said even their driver and the liason officer assigned to the team are against them. They are not saying it directly but do feel they are getting threats. If we win, do hope they dont get harmed. Even if they're scared they know they have a duty to the flag and their fellow Filipinos.

Their basketball duties must now only come second. SBP should get these kids home ASAP.
