    National coach Vincent"Chot" Reyes revealed on Friday the 12-man roster of the SMC-Team Pilipinas that will compete in the FIBA-Asia Men's Championship which will be held at the Tokushima Stadium in Japan.

    According to a team statement, Team Pilipinas, which is vying to gain a slot in the Beijing Olympics next year, will be composed of Renren Ritualo, Eric Menk, Kelly Williams, Jimmy Alapag, Mark Caguioa, Jayjay Helterbrand, Paul Asi Taulava, Dondon Hontiveros, Danny Seigle, Mick Pennisi, Kerby Raymundo, and Gabe Norwood.

    Still with the national team but not seeing action in the Japan sojourn are Ranidel de Ocampo, James Yap, and Tony dela Cruz.

    The last time the Philippines was able to play in an Olympic basketball event was in the Munich Games held in 1972.

    Aside from the Olympics slot, the Filipinos also aim to bring home the crown of the tournament it has dominated in the 1960s and early 70s. Known then as Asian Basketball Confederation (ABC) Championship, the Philippines won the title in 1960, 1963, 1967, 1973, and 1985.

    Coach Reyes hopes that his wards will again dominate the Iranians whom they will meet on opening day on Saturday. Team Pilipinas defeated the Iranians 89-79 during the recent William Jones Cup in Taiwan.

    After Iran, mentored by Serbian coach Rajko Toroman, the Nationals will face China on Sunday and Jordan on Monday in Group A of the event's eliminations. Jordan is being coached by Brazilian Mario Palma.

    Group B is composed of Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, Lebanon, and host Japan. Group C is composed of Qatar, Kazakhstan, India and Indonesia while Korea, HongKong, Syria, and Chinese Taipei are in Group D.

    The top two teams after the group eliminations will enter the single round quarterfinals of the tournament wherein the titlist and the first runnerup will earn a slot in the Beijing Olympics. - GMANews.TV
