De Jesus will not be available in September
MANILA, Philippines — Gilas women’s head coach Pat Aquino is calling for practice on Monday, less than a week after arriving from Sydney where the team marked a breakthrough with a first-ever sixth place finish in Division A of the FIBA Asia Cup. The squad returned home last Tuesday morning and will take a brief rest before reporting back to work at the Aero Center in Quezon City for a two-hour morning session.
Jack Animam will use the next few days to chill while Afril Bernardino and Janine Pontejos check in for military duty. Bernardino is with the Navy and Pontejos, the Army. Fil-Am Vanessa de Jesus flew back to the US from Sydney last Monday and will play her final season with Duke University in NCAA D-1. Gilas’ next tournament is the Jones Cup in Taipei on Aug. 5-9.
Aquino said Gilas is staying sharp for the Asian Games in Hangzhou on Sept. 23-Oct. 8. It will be the country’s first participation in Asian Games women’s basketball in 25 years and second overall. “We submitted a list of about 30 players for the pool just for safety in case some players decline or can’t play due to injuries or some other reason,” said Aquino. “The Jones Cup will be part of our preparation for the Asian Games. Since the eligibility for the Asian Games is like the SEA Games, we can bring in players with Philippine passports regardless of when they were issued.”
Although the Philippines may enlist naturalized imports for the Asian Games, Aquino said he’s sticking to a policy of recruiting only Fil-foreigners. In the recent SEA Games, gold medalist Indonesia was bannered by two imports Kimberley Pierre-Louis and Peyton Whitted while the Philippines showed up with only one Fil-Am Stefanie Berberabe.
In the FIBA Asia Cup, eligibility was restricted to one naturalized player. “We tried to appeal Berberabe because we wanted to bring her to Sydney but to no avail,” said Aquino.
Berberabe and De Jesus were born in the US to Filipino parents but received their passports after 16 so they’re classified as naturalized by FIBA. For the Asian Games, Aquino plans to enlist Berberabe, De Jesus and two other Fil-Ams Malia Bambrick and Mai Loni Henson.Last edited by hmbopbaduwap; 07-11-2023, 10:00 AM.Comment

I think the rule of eligibility are in general meaning all sports discilipne played under OCA.Originally posted by Supremo30 View Post
For as long as he or she satisfied the 3 year rules(starting from the date of issuance) upon acquiring their respective passport thus upon representing the new National Federation(with finality) changes in alliance from the original Federation are irreversible. As per condition he or she must be continuously living the new country he or she wants to represent for a period of no less than 3 years and had a permanent address as well.
That is why the possibility parading the likes of the Justine Brownlee, Ange Koume, Brandon Ganuelas Rosser(injured), Sedrick Barefield, Michael Philips are already eligible to play because they’ve already satisfied such provision.

I would love a Gilas team composed of the bulk of the 2023 World Cup Gilas pool (minus Junmar, Japeth, Erram, Pogoy, Newsome), plus maybe a No. of young players, to play in the 2023 Asian Games for the sake of continuity & long term program. But with Gilas PBA players & Japan B-league players no longer available by that time, wala tayong choice but to contend with whoever are available.Originally posted by paolylo View Post"A king may move a man, a father may claim a son, but that man can also move himself, and only then does that man truly begin his own game.

The way Laput is playing, maybe he can be considered for the Asiad team.Comment

I think the Asiad Gilas’ roster composition will be minus JC, Japan’s B.league players so basically it will be JBL plus PBA selection and available unattached Fil-Ams and collegiate players…Comment

With Clarkson's impending World Cup stint, Brownlee will be our naturalized at the Asian Games

It would have been very good if the 2023 Asian Games-bound Gilas men's team would be joining the 2023 Jones Cup as part of its preparation for the Asian Games. But the thing is, we don't even have a team/pool for the Asian Games just yet. Imagine, Asian Games is barely 2 months away yet wala pa tayong idea kung sino-sino mga players natin ipapadala in that tournament. Well, maybe our very good people in the SBP are sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo very very busy for the much awaited 2023 FIBA World Cup.Originally posted by Silent Killer View Post"A king may move a man, a father may claim a son, but that man can also move himself, and only then does that man truly begin his own game.

What if we just send the entire Ginebra team in the 2023 Asian Games? On paper, the Ginebra team is solid with the likes of Japeth, Standhardinger, Malonzo, Gray, Pringle, Iskati Thompson with Justin Brownlee as the naturalized player & coach Tim Cone as the head coach. But the most important thing is, the team already has a built-in cohesion/chemistry. Just give the team 3 weeks of practice/training & this team is ready to rumble.
I understand that the 2023-2024 PBA season might start late September or early October which would be in conflict with the Asian Games, but the PBA can schedule its games wherein wala munang games ang Ginebra in the first 2 weeks of the PBA season. Kunting adjustment & sacrifice lang naman yan. I think its very doable."A king may move a man, a father may claim a son, but that man can also move himself, and only then does that man truly begin his own game.

OT but wth,Originally posted by C2Hamm View Post
If you believe the papers, they got a pool of 400+ Fil-Am girls. Frilles, Ceasar, Flanigan, and Jota were worth keeping in the squad for the future... the U20 squad back in March (which included Pasion) happen to be the best of the bunch. Tuloy sa Don Bosco FC produces the best homegrown girls now because they play consistently with their men's team, they're a legit football academy in Alabang disguised as an orphanage. Their education is basic, they mostly teach vocational skills as opposed to university-level subjects and football is their only P.E.Comment
