Philippines Senior National Team Thread Vol. V

[C2Hamm]

If they are given filipino citizenship and passports by Age 16 I think they will qualify as locals under FIBA rules, Malaysia is actually exploring this option by recruiting teen Serbians for their basketball team.

but the thing is, in terms of height/genetics they are superior, but i doubt these kids will develop to the full extent given the basketball environment of the country.

not legally possible in the Philippines. you can only be naturalized not less than 21 years of age. thats in our law, so no going around it unless we change it.

[IPC]

I suggest they listen to music

Oh, crap. It kinda applies to SBP. Personally dunno how though.

[C2Hamm]

got you, probably they have a fighting chance for FIBA exemption as their basketball heritage is the phil, i think there's a precedent to this as dave had cited before

i am actually confused with this. if its an exemption, it means even if we do the process again and again, it doesnt mean it should be allowed. if it will be allowed multiple times, then its not an exemption but a hole in the process.

actually, there is. Awudu Abass of Italy was born in Italy to a Ghanian Mother and a Nigerian Father. He received his Italian when he was 18.

our office handled a case before of a math genius who has been representing the country in intl competitions. Kid is born on the country from.immigabt chinese parents. Senator Pimentel authored the bill, but yeah, this could only happen as a act of congress

we have a go around with our laws actually, recruit children 10-12 years old. make them culturally assimilated with us. by age 21, they can be naturalized.

i beg to disagree. we also have judicial and administrative naturalization process. these should be the pathway of those kids.

Administrative naturalization too. The fee's expensive though at P100K.

that's fine if the kid will be serviceable.

thats not going around, you followed it by applying from his\her 21st bday. thats what SBP did with Ange though he moved in PH a bit later than what you posted.

oh, that's nice to hear, but for sure there would be certain sectors of society which will be against the naturalization of kid prospects makabayan ehem

oops so i guess only an act of congress could make naturalizing kids prospects possible, which involves too much political capital

we are not naturalizing kids. we are going to naturalized 21 years old persons who actually established residency here.

[CoJ]

point taken, important thing is, the kids grew up here and learned/developed their skills in the country, which is a big plus for FIBA exemption

So Coach Chot DDO that won Jones Cup 2012 and defeated Team USA by Pick N Roll isn't really different. We upgraded in height.
LA Tenorio : RJ Abarrientos 6'0" (2.6-3PM)
Jeff Chan : Jordan Heading 6'3" (3.8-3PM)
Larry Fonacier : Dave Ildefonso 6'6" (2.0-3PM)
RDO : Carl Tamayo 6'9" (1.4-3PM)
Marcus Douthit : Ange Koaume 6'11" (0.5-3PM)

If i were New Zealand i would tap my Team A.

[earldeboy]

My updated Gilas 12:
PG Dwight Ramos 6'5"
PG RJ Abarrientos 6'0"
PG Clint Escamis 6'0"
