MVP charges Gilas to win SEABA

Former Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (SBP) president Manny V. Pangilinan on Wednesday called on Gilas Pilipinas to win the Southeast Asia Basketball Association (SEABA) Championship in March. The Philippines must rule the meet to enter the FIBA Asia Championship.

“We will hopefully be better and should be better to win the SEABA tournament next year and qualify for the FIBA Asia,” Pangilinan told The Manila Times. “So far the players are still playing in the PBA (Philippine Basketball Association) and we’re not starting the preparation yet.”
