SBP Announces Gilas Pilipinas Men's Lineup For 33rd SEA Games
(Press Release)
The Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (SBP) announces the fourth version of Gilas Pilipinas Men that will compete in the upcoming 33rd Southeast Asian Games.
Gilas, under head coach Norman Black, will be composed of Jamie Malonzo, Dalph Panopio, Thirdy Ravena, Matthew Wright, Ray Parks, Cedric Manzano, Justin Chua, Robert Bolick, Von Pessumal, Allen Liwag, Abu Tratter, and VJ Pre.
After a tedious back and forth due to initially unclear and constantly changing rules in player eligibility, we at the SBP have submitted this list to the local organizing committee, and it has been vetted and has undergone pre-approvals.
We extend our deepest appreciation to all the players for dropping everything to compete for Gilas.
We thank our partners from the PBA, UAAP, and NCAA, and our friends from the Japanese B-League for allowing their players to compete for flag and country.
The SBP wishes our basketball teams and the entire Philippine contingent all the best in Thailand.
Go for the gold!
