    The government will require them to donate half of the vaccine they import.

      With how the PH government is handling the pandemic (yoyoing between MECQ and ECQ), we might as well just withdraw from the OQT, third window AND the Asia Cup. Can't even practice properly as a team because of the government restrictions
      We can't because FIBA has strict policies on withdrawals without a legitimate reason.

      Worse, we could get suspended... again.

        Again knowing SBP, even if all member federations withdraw to play in fiba tournaments, we will be the last one to withdraw..
        To becomes Asia's Best, we need to compete against the World's Best..

        • 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

            Given how the pandemic is still raging **and even mutating**, the 2023 WC is also at question

            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?

            • 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.

              • The best solution is just one bubble venue for Asia cup , with a play in tournament as close to August Asia cup as possible in same venue (Jakarta), hopefully like Olympics every participant has vaccine.

                    It's just really hope and dreams rather than concrete plans, no one really knows for sure

                      Oh. Right before nba draft combine.

                      But still, It is tentative. Baka tapos na nba draft, 3rd window is not played yet. Lol.

                      Anyway, Kai woukd probably focus in USA.

                      Our Gilas Cadets. I hope they can reallu find a way to have a proper 5V5 game against quality opponent

                          Good for him, he gets to play runs in the states instead of being locked down in manila

                            Sayang. Tab could have had another big guard trained.

                            However, was he extended an invite? I don't know if he was invited.

                            • 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.

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..
                                I can only think of Ginebra, TNT, Alaska, SMB and Northport (size) to be the worthy sparing partner of Gilas.
