If the PBA is rough sailing for Smart-Gilas, then coach Rajko Toroman’s national team is in for even stormier weather when it plays in the top-level Haarlem basketball tournament in Amsterdam Dec. 26-30.
SBP executive director Noli Eala said yesterday the Haarlem organizers are inviting Gilas to play against the Dutch national team, the Russian national developmental squad, the Brazilian national quintet, the Brazilian club champion and a team from the Americas. Gilas will represent Asia in the annual competition.
No doubt, Toroman’s reputation had a lot to do with the invitation. Toroman booked a ticket for Iran to play in the Beijing Olympics after winning the FIBA-Asia title in 2007.
“We’ll learn from this experience,” said Eala. “This is a high-quality tournament and a test for our players. We’ll be away from our families for Christmas and New Year’s Day so this is also a big sacrifice for the team.”
Eala said Gilas will be reinforced by guard Stanley Pringle of Penn State in Amsterdam. Pringle’s mother Elvira is Filipina and he is now playing as an import in Belgium.
“We invited Pringle to our tryout camp in Las Vegas last April but he couldn’t make it as he was in the middle of entertaining offers from the European leagues,” said Eala. “We just found out in his first game in Belgium, Pringle scored 11 points in 28 minutes. He’s playing in a top-caliber league so coach Rajko is impressed with his showing. Pringle will give us a lot of speed in the backcourt.”
Eala said Gilas is also headed for Dubai to play in an invitational tournament on Jan. 14-21. But even before Amsterdam, he said Gilas will play against a Lebanese club in Dubai on Dec. 4 during the United Arab Emirates national day celebrations. Gilas will be away for four days and Eala said he has already advised the PBA of the schedule.
After playing the 10 mandatory games against PBA teams in the Philippine Cup eliminations, Eala said it is likely Gilas will bow out of further competition to concentrate on foreign assignments.
“We could play more games against the eliminated PBA teams depending on their availability but I’m not sure if that would be productive both for us and the PBA since they would be no-bearing games,” said Eala. “We could just play practice games with the PBA anyway. So at the moment, we’re not inclined to play beyond our 10 games.”
Eala said he’s looking forward to Gilas bouncing back after losing three in a row in the Philippine Cup.
“We’re waiting for the end of the CESAFI finals,” he continued. “Greg Slaughter will be back with us from the University of Visayas after Oct. 31 and we’re hoping to also get Junmar Fajardo from the University of Cebu. Greg is 6-11 and Junmar is 6-10. Can you imagine our frontline with Japeth (Aguilar), C.J. Giles, Jason Ballesteros, Greg and Junmar?”
Eala said he is also trying to recruit University of the East hotshot Paul Lee.
“We’re talking with Paul, his family and coach Lawrence (Chongson),” said Eala. “We’re trying to convince Mr. Bong Tan and coach Lawrence that playing for Gilas will prepare Paul more for the next UAAP season than playing anywhere else. He can return to UE and rejoin us in time for the Asian Games in November next year. By then, we will already be playing Chris Lutz.”
Lutz, a Fil-Am sharpshooting guard from Marshall University, is playing out his US NCAA Division I eligibility this season and will start playing for Gilas in March.
“I don’t think our morale is down,” said Eala. “It’s just a combination of things. We’re mentally and physically tired. We’re committing a lot of turnovers and our shooting is off. We’re not establishing ourselves inside and we’ve been inconsistent driving the lane. Coach Rajko realizes he has to be harder on the guys. Look at what Chot (Reyes) did to us. We’ve practiced with Talk ‘N’ Text for a month so he knew all our plays. Preparing for the FIBA-Asia Championships is different from preparing for a long PBA season. That’s not an excuse for us but the reality. We’re making adjustments because we want to be competitive in the PBA, too.”
Eala said the transformation from playing in college to the PBA has been a struggle for several players, including UAAP MVP Dylan Ababou.
“We’ve talked to our guys about the adjustments,” said Eala. “Dylan, for instance, knows he’s got to step up and he’s committed to losing weight so he can be more flexible. It’s too bad we lost Rey Guevara who’s out for six months after undergoing a knee operation last week.”
Eala said Chris Tiu was ready to play against Ginebra last Friday but doctors advised more rest for his hamstring. Rabeh Al Hussaini, recovering from the flu, practiced only once before the Ginebra game and R.J. Jazul just rejoined Gilas starting with the game against Talk ‘N’ Text. “Moving players in and out has affected our rotation but we just have to work harder,” said Eala.

PBA 37th Season
UFL Cup 2012 (Division 1)
nice post!! complete with pics and video!
ang lalaki!!
Japeth (Aguilar), C.J. Giles, Jason Ballesteros, Greg and Junmar
what if kunin sya ng PBA Teams and double or triple his salary in Gilas?
bilis sir EALA!!
andami ng guards/ SG / PG ng gilas.. kulang tayo sa power forward... awww.. then ang papayet pa ng center.. pls...
good news!!!
the future is really bright for team pilipinas.. yan ang national team! kumbaga sa larong kalye pati pato't panabla na..
Go Gilas!
player din ba ung brother si Stanley?
astig si stanley pringle may documentary pa siya sa U.S.A pero para sa akin wag na siya kunin ng Gilas dahil
ang dami na Guard ng Gilas tapus sasama pa si Chris Lutz. tama na si Chris Lutz nalang ang idagdag sa Pool ng Gilas madami na kasi tayo na talented na Guard lalo na Si Barocca shooter na slasher yung nga medyo may kaliitan lang pero okay na rin. Go Gilas keep up a Good Work in Traning Plan outside the country wag nyo intindihin yung mga Bopols na mga Hater wala kasi alam ang mga yung kung hindi manira lang ng tao palibhasa tumirik na yung Utak sa larong kalye kaya ganung sila. Go SMB. Go TnT Go. Gilas
pagdating ng olympics.. puro mga half breed na ang players natin..
Pringle, Giles, Lutz, Pruitt, then ung coach Toroman...
HAHAHAA... NAKAPASOK NGA NG OLYMPICS.. HAL-HALF NMAN!
HAHA... SA PBA PA LANG TINAMBAKAN NA.. PINAGLARUAN LANG NG GINEBRA KAHIT WALA SI MENK AT MARK!
thanks for including some pics and video of Pringle! astig tlga www.SMARTGILAS.com
mas okay ng matalo ng matalo hangang sa matuto! watch out for this team in the next 2 years..
Kahit wala si Giles and Lutz walang problema at kayang tambakan lahat ng PBA Teams kung maglalaro si Slaughter and Fajardo. Pasalamat lang ang PBA na di pa kumpleto ang lineup.
for sure mas pabor sa mga half breed ung line up.. mas may adavantage sila... kawawa naman ung nasa original line up na pure pinoy breed... sila matatanggal dyan.. uNFAIR!
Gilas will make waves if they finally get Stanly Pringle into the lineup. My Fearless forecast for the Asian Games:
First 5:
1 Center - CJ Giles 6'11
2 P Forward - Rabeh Al-Hussaini 6'7
3 S Forward - Japeth Aguilar 6'10
4 S Guard/Forward - Jared Dillinger 6'5
5 P Guard - Stanley Pringle 6'1
Bench:
6 S Guard - Chris Lutz 6'3
7 P Guard - Mark Barocca 5'9
8 S/P Guard - Chris Tiu 5'11
9 S Guard - Dylan Ababou 6'3
10 S Guard/Forward - Marnel Baracael 6'4
11 Center - Greg Slaughter 7'0
12 Center/Forward - Junmar Fajardo 6'10
Alternates:
13 P Forward - Jason Ballesteros 6'7
14 S Guard/Forward - Sean Anthony 6'4
15 P Guard - JV Casio 5'10
Think Bigger.. Dati dominated ng mga Fil-Am and PBA and all of a sudden the doors open up for international competition. Ngayon lang ako nakakarinig ng mag Fil-Am or Fil-Foreigners na already may base na pagdating sa basketball outside of the Philippines.Hopefully marami pang mag Fil-Foreigners na mainvite at madiscover to join the Gilas team para naman ma elevate and status ng mga pinoy pagdating sa basketball at sa ibang sports din
daming crab mentality talaga na mga pinoy pagdating sa mga ganitong issue...eh ano kung half pinoy mga players? PINOY din naman mga yun ah... look at LEBANON, JORDAN, IRAN, QATAR nde ba puro mga half nationals din nila mga players nila
Kung TUTUOSIN mas bilib pa nga ako sa mga players na half pinoy na willing mag laro para sa bayan at kayang e sacrifice and mga commitments nila sa ibang liga para makapag represent ng bansa natin...
Eh kau? Pinoy ka nga pero isip mo... ISIP TALANGKA
wala na dapat patunayan gilas sa pba kasi tinambakan nila powerade team. kakahiya naman kung walang tatalo sa gilas sa pba. pinagbigyan na lang ni mvp ang pba para hindi naman mapahiya ng husto.
dapat pure pinoy nalang lahat ka gaya ng Sri-Lanka
Siguradong matatangal sa lineup ang mga pure pinoy na galing NCAA at UAAP
Pag mga walang kuwentang tournaments lang gagamitin mga pure pinoy pero pag major tournaments eh eto malamang na sasabak:
C 6-11 CJ Giles - American (naturalize)
C 6-11 Greg Slaughter - Pinoy50% American50%
F 6-10 Japeth Aguilar - Pinoy100%
F 6-10 Junmar Fajardo - Pinoy100%
F 6-6 Rabeh Alhussaini - Pinoy50% Bumbay50%
F 6-6 Nico Monachini - Pinoy50% Italian50%
F 6-4 Sean Anthony - Pinoy25% American75%
G 6-4 Jared Dillinger - Pinoy50% American50%
G 6-6 Ray Parks Jr. - Pinoy50% American 50%
G 6-5 Gabe Norwood - Pinoy25% American75%
G 6-4 Chris Lutz - Pinoy25% American 75%
G 6-1 Stanley Pringle - Pinoy50% American50%
Imagine this 12 man lineup, ang lakas nito pag nagkaroon ng team chemistry at sapat na exposure, kaso 2 lang ang pure pinoy. Malaki ang magiging chance natin sa international tournament kung eto magiging lineup kaso hindi na Team Pilipina s ito Team Filampinas na
i hope SBP can get stanley pringle to smart gilas he is definately a big factor for our national team, go go SBP, go go SMART GILAS..
oi utol,taga cebu ako, si Fajardo at si Slaughter marami pang kakainin yan.di nga nka porma sa san miguel yang mga yan.....di rin naka porma sa cebu ninos.....ilagay mo sa tamang lugar yung pagka proud mo..tsk tsk tsk...compare mo namn sa profesional yang dalawa.....much respect to Gilas..but sad to say parang si baroca at aguilar lng ata maiiwan sa orig na line up..hihihihi
@markmenk, bakit, yung powerade ba saka yung ibang teams natin previously walang half pinoy? E yun na nga, marami na ngang half natatalo pa. So ano ang point mo? I supported all Philippine team. So ikaw, bakit di mo sinusuportahan ang Gilas? Pinoy ka rin di ba?
that only means its time for pinoy talents to improve their skills or else mawala talaga sila picture....yan ang kabutihan ng open market because may competition...you shuold compete against the best...may the best player play....kung tayo2x lng mg laro hindi tayo mg iimprove kasi yung level ng skills natin ay naka base sa laro din natin.....sa nga hindi lng mga half pinoy ang palaruin....dapat open sa lahat like what spain is doing for so long....kahit sino puede mg laro sa liga nila.....as what i have said, may the best player play....kung wala ka talagang talent pure pinoy ka man o half pinoy e problema mo na yun...you should compete against the best....
-BOLADO
i think gilas is going to a direction where all the players are half bred...si Chris Tiu mawalang trabaho ..pwede na sa that;s entertainment
Ayus!
Ok na sa Big Men.
Giles 6'11"
Slaughter 6'11"
Aguilar 6'9"
Fajardo 6'9"
Ballesteros 6'8"
Sison 6'7"
Al-Hussaini 6'7"
Aguilar, Fajardo, Ballesteros and Sison are not half-breeds! Proudly Pinoy yan!
Uy wala naman PINOY na pure!
Ang PINOY is hati-hating
Malay, Indones, Negrito then Intsik at Kastila.
At tuloy tuloy pa rin nahahaluan ng lahi
Nandyan ang mga Bombay, ang dugong hapon at dugong Amerikano...
Wala naman PURE na PINOY...
Ang lahing PINOY kahit noon pa man ay halo halo na....
WEAK! we need 7'3-7'5 footer.
powerade din nman ah puro half! pennisi, taulava, norwood, jared, helterbrand, miller..!
asa pa kau sa pba nyo! pba nyo bulok!
GO SMART GILAS PILIPINAS!!!
WALA NA MANONOOD NG PBA LALO NGAUN MAY NBA NA!! ASA PA PBA NYO WALANG KWENTA!!
SMART GILAS!!
Stanley Pringle is a perfect addition to the Gilas team because of his speed, agility and superior basketball fundamentals. It reminds me of Allen Iverson. Pringle is much more talented than Rasheim Wright of Jordan national team. And the nice thing is we dont have to naturalize this guy because he's half-Filipino. With Pringle and Lutz on the front court, this would be bad news to the opposing team for they are pure shooters that can shoot the 3 at any angles. Visualize this line up guys:
First Squad:
C- Giles
F- Aguilar
F- Fajardo
G- Lutz
G- Pringle
Second unit:
C- Slaughter
F- Al-Hussaini
F- Ballesteros
G- Norwood
G- Dillinger
Toroman can even opt to start his Second unit, considering the depth of this team. The Second unit alone can scare teams like Lebanon, Taiwan or Korea.
Chot Reyes was right when he said that the Gilas team need quick and tall Guards. The fact that our Asian neighbors have 6'5" to 6'9" Point Guards.
Good Luck Team Gilas.
sana wg masyado damihan phil-am ndi maganda tingnan,gudluck sbp....bills
aus aus.. sa wakas ma kokompleto narin ang gilas..
@ MarkMenk
sus tol. bakit?? kulang pa ang smart gilas. cgurado ako pag nglaro na yan sa international games ang gilas mgsusuporta ka lang naman. hahaha. mgisip isip ka naman tol
desidido talaga ang Gilas sa pagkuha ng quality players. Pero I think sobrang dami ng talent na makukuha sa bayan ng Pilipinas at ang kailangan lang ay mamotivate at mabigyan ng maraming exposures. sa style ng laro ni Pringley ay kayang kaya ng local na basketbolista. Anyway Goodluck sa SBP, alam naman naming mga tagasubaybay ng Gilas na alam nyo ang ginagawa nyo at di biro ang inilalabas nyong pera. Magtagumapay nawa kayo.
ganda ng schedule ng Gilas....galingan nyo guys!
dapat ata tanggalin na lang si giles. kaya na yan nung mga dadating na mga sentro from the south combined with the present players. in 2 years time matigas na yang mga yan. tanggalin na si giles.
sana wag ng kuhanin si stanley pringle..si luta na lang....kasi nga and dami na ring magagaling na guard ang gilas..tpos kukuhanin pa nila si paul lee...andyan na si barroca pati si casio na puro mahuhusay rin...anyway meron akong nabalittan tungkol kay pringle...may complaint sa kanya regardng sa pagsasarili niya sa library...hehehehehe...
http://bumpshack.com/2008/04/10/psu-player-stanley-pringle-caught-masturbating-in-library/
may reply na naman na di nakaka intindi tlga..development team nga eh..walang kwenta kung puro panalo sila sa start nila lalo na sa pba stint nila.eh di naman yun ang goal..karamihan tlga sa pinoy ala alam sa development team palibhasa nasanay na sa short plan lng eh..Kahit mga malalakas na team ngayon galing sa development team din yan..di agad2x sila naging malakas..
walaaa. tambak na naman gilas sa ligang yan. kawawa naman mga bata...............
dpat iprove ng mga pinoy breed ang kanilang worth s team since they are smaller.ou tama!pyat mga big man nten peo aus n rn since nkakahabol n tau s height.peo take NOTE:wla taung png international n SF.yn isa s ngng problema ng powerade.
hindi naman porke half breed ka sure ka na sa line up, depende pa rin sa laro yan.
Kaisa-isa lang si japeth na pure pilipino na sure na kukuha ng maraming playing time
it isnt unfair..its basketball..its tough to win against asian teams so in order for us to win we end up with good players!give way to those players who are much more deserving to play for gilas[speaking of talent-wise]!!pringle-lutz,barroca-lee are great backcourts rather than casio and tiu!!go kelly will, yes u can!!
bat p hhnap ng sf!!pwd nmn c japth ah..am payat ng puta kng magPf xa o center!!takot nga s banggaan eh!!
Smart Gilas Final Line-up for 2011 (Prediction)
C 6-11 CJ Giles - Naturalized
C 6-11 Greg Slaughter - 50%pinoy
F 6-10 Japeth Aguilar - 100%pinoy
F 6-10 Junmar Fajardo - 100%pinoy
F 6-6 Rabeh Al-Hussaini - 50%pinoy
F 6-7 Nico Monachini - 50%pinoy
F 6-4 Sean Anthony - 25%pinoy
G 6-6 Rey Parks Jr. - 50%pinoy
G 6-4 Jared Dillinger - 50%pinoy
G 6-5 Gabe Norwood - 25%pinoy
G 6-4 Chris Lutz - 25%pinoy
G 6-1 Stanley Pringle - 50%pinoy
Etong 12man line-up na ito ang pinakamalakas panlaban sa kahit na anong International tournament kung magkakaroon ng team chemistry at sapat na international exposure, kaso 2 lang ang pure pinoy hehe
-BADTRIP-
pagnakuha ng gilas christian standhardinger jan plng ako mnnwala my future sila!!ito tlga ang future matalino ..d gaya japeth ..s publicity magaling ampaw nmn
c helterbrand di wla nmng lahing kano eh!! pinlitan lng ung apilyidu nya dhil ung nanay nia nag asawa ng kano!!
Anu ang basis ng PERCENTAGES?
Can you prove na 25%?
Can you prove na 50%?
Mabuhay ang PILIPINAS!
Research ka boy
At least prove yun mga 25%?
50% is obvious...
25% needs clarification.
If you can't prove it, nag-iimbento ka lang.
asan na ba c allanboy?
hay nakow pano naging imbento wakoko!
25% pinoy means lolo o kaya lola nila ang pure pinoy like Chriz Lutz ang Gabe Norwood na Lola nila ang Filipina, kung hindi mo sinubaybayan ang career ng mga player na ito ay hindi mo nga malalaman
kaya wag kang mag imbento ng tanong, I dont need to prove it to you dahil madami naman ditong nakakaalam nyan, info lang naman yan para sa kagaya mong di nakakaalam, fin d rest
at yung nga sabi jan na Half breed si JJ Helterbrand eh nagkakamali na naman, Pure pinoy si helterbrand nakuha nya ung family name ya sa nag adopt sa kanyang kano, narinig ko itong sinabi ni Quinito Henson noon
yes ang tatangkad nila no question about it pero ang lalampa parang mga wlang kain..kulang ata ng budget ang smart gilas pakainin nyo kac..dkau mananalo kung patangkaran lang dapat may EXPERIENCE and hindi mga AMATEURS!!
Whatever the team composition of the RP Smart Gilas team as long as she can win the Asian Games and the FIBA Asia Olympic qualifying tournament in the year to come, I don't care!!! what is important for me as avid basketball fan, is to see the Philippines once again regain respectability just even in the Asian region, and see a filipino make it to the NBA.
When the Philippines make it to the Olympics someday, I want to see her play the USA DREAM TEAM, SPAIN, ARGENTINA, and whatever its results even if it is too lopsided infavor with these powerhouse teams, I dont care because for me it is still an honor to play against the best in world, the producers of legends in world basketball.
LIBRE PO ANG MAGARAP !!!
may reply na naman na di nakaka intindi tlga..development team nga eh..walang kwenta kung puro panalo sila sa start nila lalo na sa pba stint nila.eh di naman yun ang goal..karamihan tlga sa pinoy ala alam sa development team palibhasa nasanay na sa short plan lng eh..Kahit mga malalakas na team ngayon galing sa development team din yan..di agad2x sila naging malakas..

Not too much height on the post
but speed and shooting accuracy
will make the difference. Not to
mention the international system
of an international coach and the
familiarity of playing together
in a given period of time.
ano ngayon kung half-breed? naisip nyo bah na pinoy rin sila kahit half-breed sila? naisip nyo bah kung anong pinagdadaang panglalait ang natatanggap ng mga half-breed sa society? dapat bigyan natin nang chance ang mga half-breed, kung di naman talaga deserving eh tatanggalin din naman sa developmental team yan eh..
Sino ba ang pure pinoy these days ? Ako meron akong halong chinese blood, malay and indonesian . . .Lahat ng pinoys meron halo and genetically speaking the only pure pinoys lang eh mga Mangyans or Negritos who were really rooted on the islands before the indonesians and the Malays discovered the islands we now call the Philippines . . .Lahat tayo ay multiple breeds . . Therefore, Fil-ams, Fil-Aus, Fil-Italians . .Fil whatever are still pinoys . . .Stupid nalang ang nag co comment about half breeds . . If you went through highschool or college these are such basic historical facts you should have gleaned through before you graduated . . . .This just goes to prove that people who comment regarding half breeds are ignoramus and have no place or authority to comment on such subject matters - Allanboy
Daming crab mentality dito sa forum natoh. Ang topic is all about SMART gilas strenghtening itself through acquisitions of Foreign bred Filipinos like Stanley Pringle. Mind you, they are still Filipinos and are honored with the distinction of playing for the Philippine flag. The argument whether they are half breeds are totally out of context and just goes to show the level of education some commenters have, what a pity. . . . .SBP is doing everything it can to bring back our lofty standing in Asia and all you can do is cricitize ?? This is typical Filipino talaga, mag cricitize muna bago mag contribute and sa pilitan pa. This is the perfect example of what we are today, people are more apt to criticizing the government for failing to deliver basic services, and these are the same people who throw cigarette butts and trash everywhere and jaywalk on busy streets and expect the government to clean up after them. Out country is not rich and even rich countries cannot police your trash everywhere you go. Great countries are built by the people not by the government . . ."Ask not what your country can do for you but ask what you can do for your country", a borrowed excerpt from JFK but this is what Pinoys should imbibe before deciding to just simply become critics all their lives . . . Support SMART gilas because they are you team, they represent the Philippines and this is the only program aside from the defunct NCCC that has gone to great lenghts in developing the youth to achieve a long term goal and that is to qualify for the olympics in 2011 . . .The road is hard enough without you dumb commenters to contend with. - Allanboy
eventhough na half bread sila.. they are PROUD TO BE A FILIPINO AND PLAY FOR OUR COUNTRY..dba dun mo mkikita kung pusong pilipino ka if willing ka isacrifice ung sarili mo just to make your countrymen proud...sinasapuso nila ung paglalaro at they are inspired to win and be the best team whenever na napupuri sila ng kapwa nila pilipino.. kaya stop making negative comments...PBA OR RP SMART GILAS TEAM ITS BOTH FILIPINO BASKETBALL.. bilog ang bola pwdeng manalo at pwdeng matalo...kailangn lng ng training and guts to prove to themselves na kaya nila INTERNATIONALLY AND here in our very own country... hope marealize ng mga tao na pwde mong baguhin ang takbo ng buhay mo pagnagsikap ka... "kapag may chaga my niliga" -ksabihan stin yan dba..TRAIN HARD AND YOU'LL SEE THE DIFFERENCE IN THE FUTURE...GO PHILIPPINE BASKETBALL!!

Play for the country? E mukhang may katapat na presyo paglalaro nila? Libre ba silang maglalaro? Hinde naman ah. Kung ako ang Smart ibuhos na lang nila sa ibang sports na mas malaki ang chance nating maka Gold sa Olympics. Gaya ng chess. Walang nagsponsor gaano pero ang dami nating Grand Masters. Kulang lang sa backing. Masyado lang kayong bulag sa Basketball. Ganyan naman mga pinoy magaling umasa. Parang lumalayo sa katotohanan na MAHIRAP makakuha ng slot sa Olympics. Magandang advertising campaign ang Gilas kaysa nga naman sa ibang sports like Chess. Mabuhay ang mga Pilipinong atleta na walang sponsor ngunit nagtatagumpay. Kesa sa mga milyonaryong kumikitang mga player ng Gilas na wala pa namang napapatunyan
Lahat FILIPINO ay MIXED!
(Bago pa dumating ang mga Kastila, mixed na talaga!)
So walang 25% Pinoy, 50% Pinoy%, Pinoy^Nth Pinoy...
Except sina Prospero Nograles na anti-PINOY binebenta nya ang lupa ng Pilipinas sa mga Foreigners.
At si Wynne Arboleda at Yeng Guiao na nanakit ng kapwa nya Pinoy, mga anti-PINOY din.
Eala. "This is a high-quality tournament and test for our players we'll be away from our families for Christmas and New Year's Day so this is also a big sacrifice for the team." -- Eala baka nakakalimutan mo iniwan mo pamilya mo para sa kirida mo. family ka dyan...
