00:00 I don't know when all of this will end.
00:04 How do we stop it?
00:05 Just when we thought that controversies and drama around Gilas are over,
00:20 we're back to where we all started.
00:24 What can we say about Gilas?
00:28 Uncertainty, a lot of uncertainty around these things.
00:32 Gilas making bad decisions.
00:34 Gilas being weighed down left and right by circumstances beyond its control.
00:42 And the worst part is, how many days has it been?
00:46 Where are we?
00:48 We still haven't built a thing.
00:51 We're so angry with the World Cup.
00:55 Less than two weeks before the World Cup, we still don't have a team that's practicing together.
01:00 Now, Gilas and MSVP have outdone themselves.
01:07 This is the last minute emergency.
01:14 We're going to replace players so, so, so late into the day.
01:20 I don't know when all of this will end.
01:26 How do we stop it?
01:28 Is it time for a changing of the guards?
01:32 Is it time for a top to bottom rebound of the basketball drop?
01:37 Maybe what we're doing here is a rethink.
01:42 After the A-Shield, when all the else is clear, maybe...
01:46 I want all stakeholders to talk to each other.
01:51 All the stakeholders to talk to each other.
01:55 Maybe we can all go back to square one and start from scratch.
02:00 Map out a program that can really bring Philippine basketball back to its feet.
02:07 I'm saying that because right now,
02:10 even if you justify the World Cup campaign, even if you justify what's happening in the A-Shield games,
02:18 we all know that the preparations and the planning are one thing, left one thing.
02:23 I have faith in these people. I know these people.
02:28 I don't know how they let the situation get this bad
02:34 for both the national team and the basketball program.
02:37 But I hope it's not too late and I hope we can start afresh.
02:43 Map out an honest, good, and best plan that can revive both the A-Shield and the national team.
