2022 Batang Gilas U16

I think that kind of mentality is what holds people back from accepting a Kouame as a local when fiba could look at them as such.

Correct, what Kouame is , he has no Filipino entnicity as either of his parents were former Filipino citizens or any ancestor.
But he is legally a Filipino citizen, (not half or anything but fully legally a Filipino citizen there is no such thing as % citizen)

So Panopio and Bayla are Fil Foreigns.

While Jalen Green and Clarkson are not?

No need to make it that complicated tbh imagine dictating if someone is fil-foreign only based on their preference. That's what we call "paladesisyon" and none of my colleagues like those type of people lol

[Chasedown]

Edit: Actually, we have some short list as of now

2007 Born Gilas
Fil Foreign
CJ Amos

Homegrowns:

Kiefer Alas
TJ De los Santos
Renzo Gatmaitan
Gian Gomez
Jaime Gomez de Liaño
Bryan Hachuela
Henry Madrangca
Lebron Manding
Daniel Sta. Maria
Renzo Tabunar
Emer Vales
Kyn Vicente

Obviously, more Fil Foreigns and Homegrowns will be invited next year


But I dont think there are big names there next year except for CJ.

Every batch/generation has Lebron.��

[Chasedown]

Guy just wanted to emphasize pureblooded who grew up in the country, played first in the country can not be this good. nahihiya lang sabihin.

[Wannabe]

if next year looks like RDO son is still raw at the moment. Hopefully within a year there will be improvements in his skill. Still better to expose early against better competition.

[ARMIR]

hope RDO's son can be sponsored by his kinakapatid Kai Sotto thru EWP to train at TSF.

It would be better if RDO spend some money,have the boy enroll in a private school,that competes under a real CIF program.

[CoJ]

Should we really care for the labels? Really Analyzed? Baka bukas, may 3 page explanation about who's Fil-foreign and who is of Filipino ethnicity only, like the Draft eligibilities and rules na naman

hahaha...I'll just go with math's 3 labels, Eligible, Not Eligible and Naturalized

Ugh the comment section of the PHI-ROK game is so toxic. Puro mga copy-paste Peenoise.

[PaulLee3]

we really need to hire allan caidic as our shooting coach

[PaulLee3]

Ugh the comment section of the PHI-ROK game is so toxic. Puro mga copy-paste Peenoise.

I agree. Toxic Filipino mentality in the comment section that's why some foreigners thought some Peenoys are so bastos/rude in the comments section.

[PaulLee3]

Jared Bahay with his best game of the tournament 22 points, 9 assists

[live_evil]

Koreans known for three point shooting, idiot coach makes Gilas Youth sag on defense.

[Marsh Mello]

yeah I agree with the toxic and corny filipino comments in the FIBA stream. super corny as if it is funny (sampong libo jokes, ez mil, watching from jokes). that is why we are not respected by other hoop countries

[reamily]

Lol you are right about lebron nieto.

[Silent Killer]

possible 7th place finish for us. it will be the lowest place ever since it started..

an inexperienced coach coaching the talented wing batch..
