Worse, we could get suspended... again.GILAS WISHLIST:

The country just got out of ECQ a few months ago, and it's back to ECQ..the third window is in June and the third window qualifiers has high chances to be capostponed again...and in short notice, a la Qatar.
Without the third window qualifiers, the Asia Cup can't continue in August unless FIBA decides to take the results "as is"/final
FIBA should seriously look into the capability of the Philippines hosting the events. Travelers without long term visa (work visa, PR visa) are not even allowed entry to the country
I don't see inbound travel to the PH being more lax in June

Originally posted by robert0326But we need to be there because we are preparing for 2023 WC.. We need to impress FIBA officials... SBP can handle this COVID situation and maybe after 1 month, they can training again in Calamba
The South African variant is believed to be vaccine-resistant
Also, the remaining third window (Group A) is in question. I don't see inbound travel restrictions being lifted. Presently, only citizens and foreigners with long-term visa can enter the country.
What would the SBP do if the government declares ECQ again in June?Last edited by Labradoodle; 03-31-2021, 06:15 PM.

people need to understand this concept
The virus does not live based on one's citizenship
it does not live long in a location unless it enters a host ( a person)
it lives in people .
So the issue is movement restricting the movement of people who have the virus.
Finding a country that is pandemic free to host isn't the issue, if you're moving people who potentially have the virus into the host venue. Allowing potential virus infected people to participate is the issue
So the solution to address is how do you ensure everyone who enters the pandemic free bubble (whatever location that is , facility or country) is free of the virus.
obviously people are using 14 day quarantine. the thing is , panedmic free countries will require the quarantine periiod and test are conducted within their jurisdiction. (their border) . the 2nd problem related to that is not only the cost of quarantine but more importantly the capacity the quarantine faclity has to accomodate the partcipants entering. Note capacity is an issue because the country's priortiy is not visitors (even if they are stars or imporant people) but the legal citiizens who want to return home is their priority.
of course in the near future just like Toklyo olympics is requiring vacine for all partcipants , this is another element to allow partcipation.

Closed door tune up game in late April vs https://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/04/0...ll-for-ginebra
and then TNT reinforced with a center import , will be good for Gilas cadets..
no need to play other PBA teams that don't have size.
the closed door game may be passed as " training " by IATF , so more doable (to get approval) than actual games in the PBA.

Originally posted by robert0326I guess only 6 to 7 PBA teams can capable to give Gilas cadets good training ground before playing overseas in June.. At one thing, I hope they (Gilas cadets) will not face NLEX of CYG.. I know CYG's minds especially he had a not good conversation with coach Tab.. It was him and his team before (Burger King) did a horrendous match vs Toroman's Gilas before..Attack
defend
Unite
