00:01:40 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:02:03 Hello, Snow.
00:02:03 Good afternoon.
00:02:05 And good afternoon to all of our avid listeners and viewers
00:02:09 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:02:13 Thank you so much, Boss Jerry.
00:02:15 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:02:16 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:02:46 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:02:47 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:03:15 I told you a few weeks and months back
00:03:19 that San Miguel will take over.
00:03:20 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:03:21 Can the SMC group breathe life into the GILAS program?
00:03:26 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:03:37 Starting with the coming Asian Games.
00:03:39 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:03:40 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:04:01 This Asian Games in Hangzhou, China
00:04:03 will just be the start of it all.
00:04:06 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:04:12 Actually, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:04:15 After the Asian Games, going into the next Olympic qualifier
00:04:23 or pre-World Cup qualifiers, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:04:33 I think [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:04:40 stunning resignation of Coach Chot Reyes
00:04:43 to step down from his post.
00:04:45 I think [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:04:50 Remember, this FIBA World Cup, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:04:56 by being one of the major backers or sponsors
00:05:02 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:05:07 I think that's one major sign the SMC group is willing
00:05:14 and ready to take over the helm of the SBP.
00:05:18 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:05:33 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:05:36 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:05:48 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:05:50 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:06:07 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:06:37 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:06:50 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:06:52 You must understand the Germans, they're very--
00:06:55 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] when it comes to beer.
00:06:58 And [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:07:03 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:07:09 But that's not to say that their beer is better than ours.
00:07:14 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:07:18 Red horse.
00:07:20 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:07:25 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:07:28 All the way.
00:07:28 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:07:34 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:07:37 [LAUGHTER]
00:07:39 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:07:46 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:07:51 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:07:54 (Laughter)
00:08:01 Is that so? I don't know.
00:08:03 (Laughter)
00:08:05 I don't know if it's me or what. But of course, San Miguel products are patronized. But I think your colleagues, boss I thought we will schedule in-human sessions.
00:08:18 Boss Jerry, maybe you can sponsor San Miguel's in-human sessions with the fans. Especially, you're going to open a bar.
00:08:25 Right? So I won't be attended.
00:08:29 (Laughter)
00:08:31 Maybe you're sponsoring San Miguel and when we were in the gala, we shot San Miguel.
00:08:38 Nothing happened to us.
00:08:40 We're not shooting, boss. We're just talking about what we're noticing.
00:08:44 That's why our viewers are losing their minds when they hear haters saying they want to coach Homer and Snowbad.
00:08:52 You're getting confused.
00:08:54 If we don't talk about this, friends, no one will understand and no one will be able to solve what's happening.
00:09:02 Do you think there's a reason behind our comments and suggestions here, boss Dodo?
00:09:10 Yes. We know in the media, one, we're professional. Two, we're fiscalizers. We're always the check to the power.
00:09:22 That's how it is whether it's in government, whether it's in the private sector or in sports.
00:09:29 That's our role in the media. We need to point out what's wrong. We need to laud what's there to be praised.
00:09:39 Beyond all that, you should be fair. I believe we're functioning like any other media outlet.
00:09:51 We're professional and we follow the talents of good journalists.
00:09:57 Boss, if we don't talk about this, nothing will happen. The gossip will continue.
00:10:08 We're not saying that the people sitting here are crazy. It's just that there are mistakes that we need to correct.
00:10:18 Our viewers, you can join our conversation live on TikTok, Facebook and YouTube.
00:10:26 On Facebook, you will go to our page and you will see a messenger icon. This one on this side, the white one.
00:10:35 You will say I want to join the panel.
00:10:38 But we will be more happy if you continue to send comments. You will give your comments in the hall of fame and you will heart, heart, heart and like, like, like.
00:10:52 Our page is very quiet now, except that there are many who are sending messages below.
00:10:59 On YouTube, we are continuously increasing our viewership. Thank you so much to all of you.
00:11:03 Our topic this afternoon, can San Miguel breathe life in the Gilas Pilipinas program.
00:11:09 Do you believe that San Miguel can bring life to our Gilas program?
00:11:15 But I will ask you Boss Jerry, was it dead-bull last time?
00:11:21 If you ask me, our hosting was successful. It's just that the campaign of Gilas, which is the most important piece, we were lacking in that.
00:11:29 What do you think Boss Jerry?
00:11:34 Actually, FIBA is very satisfied with our hosting organization-wise.
00:11:43 They have nothing to say.
00:11:45 That's just what they're bringing up, the pricing of tickets.
00:11:49 It's a bit pricey because they're looking at the layers.
00:11:55 When it comes to general admission, they notice that the third or fourth layer is always full.
00:12:11 They always have vacancies.
00:12:16 I think their reason for that is that the tickets are too expensive and pricey.
00:12:23 Nonetheless, organizational-wise, they're very much satisfied with the country's hosting of the FIBA World Cup.
00:12:34 Unfortunately, we didn't get the result that we wanted.
00:12:41 We had a slim chance, we qualified for the qualifier of the Olympics, although our opponents are stronger because those who didn't win or didn't qualify for the last World Cup,
00:13:01 those are our opponents.
00:13:05 Okay. So my friends, you Boss Dodo. San Miguel, do you think they have the capability to bring our Gilas-Philippines program to another level?
00:13:18 Especially that going back to the '80s, our northern consolidated team, the NCC, the legendary NCC team, where Sam William, Chip Engalan, Hector Calma,
00:13:28 and the rest played and represented the country. Some breaks in the history of our country, it's not continuous.
00:13:36 There was an age of people power revolution where they were expected to win the gold in the Asian Games, the first ever sana for the country.
00:13:44 Do you think, Boss Dodo, they have the capability, they have the tools, not to mention the money.
00:13:50 Do you think the principle is there for them to do this?
00:13:55 If you're talking about the NCC programs, I think there's no continuity on that part because it's like the last time I did it, now it's Ramon Angco, so there's no continuity.
00:14:15 But if you're talking about this present San Miguel Corporation dispensation, I have to say that San Miguel people, basketball people make the better basketball decisions compared to the other teams.
00:14:39 Did you notice that, Slow? They make the better decisions when it comes to basketball. I believe in that because there's only one thing that moves.
00:14:50 San Miguel.
00:14:53 San Miguel. San Miguel. Like Francis Chua, when Ramon Angco makes a decision, it will not be up to him. So the direction of, if you notice, the direction of their teams is very clear.
00:15:15 Whether it's San Miguel, whether it's Magnolia, or whether it's Inebra, it's very clear. You can see what they want to do.
00:15:23 You can't avoid comparing. On the other hand, you don't know who will make the decision, who will make the decision.
00:15:36 But I'd like to believe San Miguel makes the better decisions than the other teams. I think that will be a big benefit for San Miguel.
00:15:50 But now, you can see that they're very decisive. The other team will make a pool, then make 24, 18, and so on. Sometimes it's confusing.
00:16:03 If they make a decision, it's 12. But they need a spare hire. But if you look, you can see that they're very decisive. This is the 12 we want.
00:16:22 You can't think of it, but this is our 12. So you can see that the direction they want to go is very clear. I think they have a really good plan on how to go about it.
00:16:35 So the leaders will benefit.
00:16:37 Correct. Correct. The question now, boss Jerry, do you think Al Francis Chua is competent enough to handle an international team for the Philippines?
00:16:46 Because we all know, in the Philippines, he already tried it, in NCAA and then the BBA. Now he will enter the UAAP through the UST.
00:16:58 Do you think Al Francis Chua has the knowledge to manage a team about the Philippines? They said that the mayor and the president are different in politics.
00:17:09 This is the situation. Do you think Al Francis has the brains? Does he have the contact abroad to give exposure and competitions to our team?
00:17:24 Of course, the SBP will help. But that's the question boss.
00:17:27 Of course, I still have to give Al Francis the benefit of the doubt. Because this is not just a ball club or a conglomerate that he will handle.
00:17:42 This is his national team and it will involve the international stage. So let's see. I'm just observing how he will handle his new job as team manager of the GILAS Pilipinas team.
00:18:05 You're right, the SBP will help. I think Butch Antonio will still be there. Because Butch has connections in FIBA, Olympic Council of Asia,
00:18:24 and he's part of the Asian Federation of Basketball. He has connections there, he has connections with other teams, Asian or everywhere in the world.
00:18:40 So I think that's one of the reasons why they retained Butch Antonio as... I don't know what will be his title.
00:18:54 But Al Francis mentioned that they will retain Butch Antonio as part of the GILAS family.
00:19:05 But I think it's right. It's right. There should be a transition phase.
00:19:10 You will do this. If the player is good, we don't want him. Don't take him, don't call him. But if he's good, we will call him.
00:19:19 Our viewers, what do you think? Can Al Francis Chua elevate the level of GILAS as they take over the program of our national team?
00:19:36 That's my question to all of you. Our viewers, you can give your comments. We will have a discussion later. I will read the messages.
00:19:45 This is from TikTok. I will get the messages from TikTok. This is from Daily Dose. SMC can do it as long as the system is good.
00:19:56 Hi boss. Is the 12th Asian Games final? Why CJ Perez is not here? Boss Jerry, is this final or can we add more?
00:20:06 They're going around the 60 list of players that they initially submitted, right?
00:20:11 They are waiting for the answer of Hangzhou Asian Games Organizing Committee regarding the request to insert Calvin Abueva and Jason Perkins in their final 12 roster.
00:20:28 Originally, the two players in the 60 list were not on the list that they submitted earlier. So they are waiting for the final word from the Asian Games Organizing Committee.
00:20:43 Hopefully, either by this weekend, Coach Tim Kone said, they can get the answer from the Asian Games Organizing Committee.
00:20:55 I have a question. I saw Olsen in practice. He wasn't part of the original. Why is Olsen not there? And Josh Reyes is not there.
00:21:08 In the original in-and-outs, Josh Reyes is there. Why is Olsen not there?
00:21:14 Coach Olsen is just helping. Josh Reyes is not there because he will coach the U16 team for the Asian Championship.
00:21:26 I think they left yesterday or today.
00:21:31 Yes, he's there. Coach Olsen is just helping to fill the gap that was left.
00:21:42 He's not part of the original.
00:21:45 No, no. Because no one can be left in Ginebra to practice in Ginebra if he's not there.
00:21:55 Coach Richard Del Rosario and Coach Tim, I think they are the two that Freddie Abuday will leave here to take over in Ginebra, Barangay Ginebra.
00:22:09 (Inaudible)
00:22:33 Coach Tim was taking his word for it that he's only there as an interim coach.
00:22:41 He said that's what happened to him during the Southeast Asian Games in 2019.
00:22:48 If you can remember, Coach Cheng was the one who won the FIFA World Cup.
00:22:52 After that, Coach Cheng resigned and the SEA Games was fast approaching. Suddenly, we lost our coach because Coach Chot was still suspended back then.
00:23:04 Although, the SEA Games was not sanctioned by FIFA but still, SBP went to Coach Tim and offered him the job to coach the SEA Games, which he did.
00:23:18 After that, Coach Tim resigned and Coach Tab came back.
00:23:27 Initially, Coach Tim said that he doesn't want to be the coach of the GILAS team after Chot Reyes but he cannot say no when it was Mr. Ramon Ang who ordered him to take the job.
00:23:48 Let's see. Maybe later, there will be such situations or scenarios after this Asian Games campaign. So who knows.
00:23:58 Boss Dodo, do you think there's a possibility that Tab Baldwin will return, one of the most sought-after coaches for GILAS under the SMC banner?
00:24:08 I seriously doubt it. If we think that San Miguel will play a bigger role in the national team program, I doubt it.
00:24:24 I think Coach Tab would be a part of it. Right now, in the NBP group, it's a bit vague. But more, San Miguel people are involved.
00:24:38 Why?
00:24:39 Remember the onset of the pandemic when they had a podcast with Ian C. I think he ruffled a lot of feathers there.
00:24:50 One of those that reacted was Alfrancis Chua, being a key official of B-Cup. There was Al Chua, there was Yeng Yao, there were shakers and movers and shakers of B-Cup.
00:25:17 If you look at their history, I don't see any sign that they can work together.
00:25:26 (Inaudible)
00:25:46 So there was a discussion regarding one, borrowing of players from the PBA, especially the San Miguel group.
00:25:55 If you remember, in 2015, there was a bit of that. Boss Dodo, Boss Jerry, there was a bit of that. Some weird reasons that I don't know.
00:26:06 One is of course, the reason that this is a foreign coach and a group that is a rival, which is the NBP group.
00:26:15 So in 2015, Boss Dodo, I wrote that. PBA officials, during the all-stars in Palawan, that was in 2015. Boss Jerry, we were there.
00:26:28 I was at the executive lounge that time. Alfrancis and I were close. All PBA players were close. They talked through Patu Gregorio, who was then the alternate governor of Tokentex.
00:26:45 (Inaudible)
00:27:10 We will read some more messages. We will go to TikTok. Daily Dose said that European coach should be the one to get. I will ask you.
00:27:18 Should we get a European coach? Do you think it's time for us to get a European coach? Calves said this. I thought it was Bitoy. Sorry.
00:27:28 Kim Briline said they can do it. Plus, San Miguel's player is good at taking care of the players. That's why it's all goods.
00:27:35 Alice is good at talking to the players. That's why she can't refuse. Come soon in.
00:27:41 But in fairness, when it comes to being... what's the term boss? Charismatic.
00:27:49 The number one is Alfrancis... Chotre. He's refusing to sign a player who is a low-ranking official.
00:27:57 Here it is boss. This is the YouTube tour that I'm talking about. This was taken from a story that I posted. Even the picture is mine.
00:28:08 I posted it right in front of the board meeting where you can see boss Pato Gregorio. He's the one who made it possible for me to talk to the two.
00:28:20 After that, if I'm not mistaken, that's where our 2016 campaign came in. Boss Jerry, is it true that the player is already in debt?
00:28:29 Yes. There was a deeper wound when Tab Baldwin made a statement about tactical immaturity and then about coaching, about the PBA and how it was handled.
00:28:45 That's why there was a spot. But anyway, to those who are asking, do you think coach Tab Baldwin will return?
00:28:55 I told you, I'm not faking it. I'm just informing you that they already talked to Eric Tujir. Boss Dodo, Boss Jerry,
00:29:04 Tab Baldwin is just waiting for the go signal. He's already talking to him. He's already being double-tasked.
00:29:11 Here are the pages. If you stole what I said, please quote the spin. Don't copy-paste it.
00:29:19 They already talked to him. Eric Tujir's group said, we can pay you double. How much do you earn?
00:29:26 I'm getting 8,000 at Ateneo. It climbs up to 12,000 because of the boosters. I'm getting 4,000 from the boosters.
00:29:36 Okay. I'll give you 25. So you're getting $25,000 per month. That's the salary that Tab Baldwin is preparing in Indonesia.
00:29:47 So what will happen is they will negotiate and then Tab Baldwin, I think, is bent on finishing the upcoming season 86 of UAAP.
00:30:01 By January 1, Ateneo said, the contract is still in 2024. But that's on December 31. That's what Tab Baldwin declared to Eric Tujir.
00:30:19 Why do I know? That's the waiter who serves my friend in the cigar lounge of Solaire.
00:30:27 Boss Dodo, you know our colleagues. That happened to Tim Koon and Noli Iala, to Chef Jesse.
00:30:37 That's what happened. Okay. Lloyd Gareza said that our basketball has a serious politics. Jerry, when Al Francis Chiu sits, like what Boss Dodo said earlier,
00:30:50 one man team, one man, what's the term Boss Dodo? One man executive, one man management.
00:30:57 What he said, as long as Boss Dodo is there, that's what will happen. Do you think that politics will continue if someone is holding a cane?
00:31:10 Actually, it's an open secret that Al Francis Chiu has a significant influence within the PBA board. It's an open secret within the PBA community.
00:31:27 Chairman Ricky Vargas and Al Francis Chiu are both there. We know that they are also close. I don't see any politics that will happen.
00:31:42 Maybe there is. Maybe there is on the side. Maybe they can talk about it in a better way. So we'll see. Let's see.
00:31:57 It's interesting when there's a secret. Who will sit?
00:32:05 Actually, the people I see will sit there. Who is the team manager of Inebra, Boss?
00:32:13 Ray Boy.
00:32:15 Ray Boy and E-Boy. Bonitan or Piddo can have a position. These are the people who are in our higher-ups.
00:32:26 But I hope that San Miguel will appoint people who can have a connection abroad, especially in Europe, because that's what we need,
00:32:36 so that we can get invites to play in different leagues.
00:32:41 And then the people who will supervise and manage the issues regarding... That's what happened because the MVP group had a problem.
00:32:55 There are issues that they are not answering. They are too secretive and suddenly they will say this and that.
00:33:01 Of course, you know that the media is very enterprising. They will still get it. Right Boss Dodo?
00:33:06 Right. You're right Boss Dodo. Boss Dodo is a very good manager. He's very good at managing people.
00:33:14 Just think about me. I only have a 200-pesos appearance here and I'm still accepting.
00:33:19 He's that charismatic. He defeated Chotres.
00:33:22 But Boss, what are the mistakes you saw in the management of the MVP group that SMC Group should correct this time?
00:33:30 You can't put a finger on it. But they have a management style that may work in business but won't work in a framework like a National Sports Association.
00:33:46 Correct.
00:33:47 Because I heard one of the legacies that they were able to build in SBP was to professionalize the running of the NSA.
00:34:01 Because if you remember, before SBP, it was BAT. BAT is like when Graham Lin taught you, you were the coach.
00:34:14 Yes. Correct.
00:34:16 It was very informal and very set up.
00:34:20 And what SBP is saying is that they've been able to professionalize it.
00:34:28 But you know that it's not like you're running a company when you're in basketball.
00:34:39 There are a lot of tangibles, right? When the coach chooses, when the players choose.
00:34:46 It's different. You can't really put the same policies and the same framework that you do with using business to the running of a sports association.
00:35:04 It's not the same. I think that's where the current SBP dispensation went wrong.
00:35:12 Okay. Boss Jerry, one more question. But let's let our friends enter first.
00:35:20 Darwin and Ryan Reyes. Let's see what they will share regarding our topic this afternoon and Earl Remorosa.
00:35:30 Okay. Let's start with Darwin. Darwin, this is your first time, right? Darwin, you're here.
00:35:37 Yes sir. This is my third time.
00:35:38 Third time. You look different. You've cut your hair and you're wearing a hat.
00:35:43 And also Earl Remorosa. This is your first time. I'm sure. Earl, how are you?
00:35:51 I'm okay. Can you hear me?
00:35:53 Yes. It's clear. Where are you now, Earl? This is your first time, right?
00:35:57 Yes. I'm in my room.
00:35:59 Where? Manila?
00:36:01 Quezon City.
00:36:03 Okay. You're near. This is your first time. But you've been watching POV and reading SPIN for a long time?
00:36:10 Yes. I've been requesting for a long time.
00:36:14 Yes. The queue is long. We can't accommodate all of our viewers.
00:36:18 Ryan, I can't say how are you. I think you have ten thousand guests.
00:36:23 Daniel Reyes, is this your first time, partner?
00:36:26 Yes. This is my first time.
00:36:29 You look like a foreigner. You grew up in the States, man.
00:36:33 No. I'm from Cebu, actually. I'm a fan of you and Homer Saison.
00:36:42 Homer is your countryman. He's from Cebu.
00:36:46 Boss, I noticed that there are many good writers in Cebu.
00:36:52 Homer, the writers of Fremont, and the...
00:36:57 Jonas Palerio.
00:36:59 Jonas Palerio. He's from Cebu. Who else in Cebu? Homer, Jonas, and this is Bakulo.
00:37:11 Jun Miguel. He's our friend, Jun Miguel.
00:37:15 There are many writers. Salvin, partner.
00:37:19 Yes. Salvin.
00:37:20 That's why many in Cebu are into boxing.
00:37:23 This is Michael. Michael, what happened to your camera? It's a bit messy.
00:37:29 Michael, where are you now?
00:37:32 I'm in Taiwan.
00:37:34 Yes.
00:37:35 Hey, W.
00:37:36 Hey, W.
00:37:38 You look like you're from Taiwan. We know that you're an OFW.
00:37:41 That's how they call you.
00:37:44 What do you do there, Michael?
00:37:47 I'm a factory worker.
00:37:49 What do you do?
00:37:51 We're in charge of the chips.
00:37:53 We're in charge of the die sets.
00:37:55 The parts that are used for stamping.
00:38:00 What's stamping?
00:38:02 The molds.
00:38:06 Oh, the molds.
00:38:07 But we also do parts. We do hard drives. We're repairmen.
00:38:13 You're a repairman.
00:38:19 You have a high salary there, partner.
00:38:22 I earn a lot of money.
00:38:25 But partner, how's the basketball there?
00:38:29 Taiwan is also increasing. It's quiet.
00:38:31 Boss Lotto, Taiwan is quiet.
00:38:34 But partner, when I went to Taiwan,
00:38:38 their basketball court is 10 courts.
00:38:43 They're not expanding their basketball court.
00:38:45 Do you feel that, Michael?
00:38:47 In my area, there are still a lot of Filipinos who like to play basketball.
00:38:53 But if it's Taiwanese, they'll go to a better court or universities.
00:39:01 But Taiwanese will be left out of playing 5-on-5s in our area.
00:39:08 But their basketball is increasing.
00:39:10 You can see the program. Are you following it?
00:39:13 Their T1 league is like that.
00:39:15 Dwight Howard is here.
00:39:18 But I think basketball is better for us
00:39:23 because they like baseball here.
00:39:27 But if it's a baseball country like Indonesia,
00:39:31 if we lose in basketball, it hurts.
00:39:34 But later, it will be like a village here because it's also regional.
00:39:42 And I know that it will increase their salary.
00:39:46 Another one.
00:39:48 Because Dwight Howard is here.
00:39:50 That's why they're bringing Dwight Howard.
00:39:52 He's an imported player from the PBA.
00:39:54 Are you not worried about that issue?
00:39:58 Because our Gillas is still bleeding from the World Cup.
00:40:02 Even if we beat China by millions, that's not our intention.
00:40:08 We want to get impressive wins and advance to the next round.
00:40:15 That's why.
00:40:17 We have four years to prepare.
00:40:20 We can't advance to the second round and win.
00:40:25 We want to get to the Olympics.
00:40:28 That's the ultimate target of Gillas.
00:40:31 If the preparation was good, there's a chance for the two games,
00:40:39 Angola and Dominican Republic.
00:40:44 But now, they're going to the OQT.
00:40:46 That's more difficult.
00:40:48 Japan.
00:40:50 You can see that their basketball is getting better.
00:40:55 Before, they were just beaten by Gillas.
00:40:58 Now, it's not like that.
00:41:00 It's a million miles away.
00:41:01 Maybe it's because of the program and their teamwork.
00:41:05 And they're really different.
00:41:09 Even if they're small, they're fast.
00:41:12 They're fast outside of the shooting compared to our game, which is lagging behind.
00:41:20 What should our NSA do in basketball now to improve their running?
00:41:29 To improve their running?
00:41:30 Because they're going up, down, up, down, and then they're going down.
00:41:34 That's what's happening.
00:41:37 I think it's good to adapt the culture of the real Euro-style basketball.
00:41:47 For example, in PBA, they're slowly adapting how to play.
00:41:53 It's not like they can adapt right away.
00:41:56 Because Filipinos are used to playing with NBA players.
00:42:03 But now, they're not going to change.
00:42:07 So, I hope they can adapt to the way that Tab Balvin is saying.
00:42:19 The Euro-style of playing.
00:42:22 The international style of playing.
00:42:25 If the culture of basketball in the Philippines is getting worse,
00:42:29 and the NBA is slowly getting better,
00:42:33 I think our game in the international scene will be better.
00:42:38 Because we have our own size.
00:42:42 Correct.
00:42:43 Daniel, what can you say about this new development?
00:42:47 Is it Daniel? Because when it's a girl, it's Daniel.
00:42:50 Anything, sir.
00:42:53 What can you say about this new development?
00:42:56 Is it Daniel?
00:42:59 Coming into this World Cup, me and my brother went to Manila to watch the games recently.
00:43:08 We just went there without any expectations.
00:43:12 Just to experience the vibe or just having the experience of coming to a World Cup.
00:43:18 I already tempered my expectations with the current management of the SPP right now
00:43:24 and with the coaching.
00:43:26 Nothing.
00:43:27 But it sucks when you watch the games and they still lose.
00:43:31 But right now, that's what I've been saying in forums, in comments, in posts,
00:43:38 that I can't wait for the SPP to hit the reset button or a change of management.
00:43:46 So, I'm hoping for the best for our national team.
00:43:49 We've been watching the national team for the past decades plus,
00:43:55 from the FIBA World Cup in 2014 to the debacle in 2019.
00:44:00 And here we are in 2023.
00:44:02 Yeah, we got the win.
00:44:04 We qualified for the OQT, but I can't wait for the reset button to be pressed by the SPP.
00:44:13 But Daniel, do you think this is the reset button that we need right now?
00:44:17 Definitely.
00:44:19 Because the MVP group hasn't, I don't know, I don't know with you guys,
00:44:27 but they've been doing the same thing for the past decade and nothing's happening.
00:44:33 We're not moving forward, so to speak.
00:44:38 So, you just envy Japan, those programs that done so much in the World Cup despite not advancing.
00:44:46 But you envy those programs that made history in this edition.
00:44:51 But how optimistic are you with San Miguel manning the steering wheel for the SPP?
00:44:58 I'm very optimistic, Sir.
00:45:00 So, I hope they can bring change or they could propel the national team program forward.
00:45:08 Okay. Boss Dodo, no more English here. You take over.
00:45:12 Sorry, I'm not good at Tagalog.
00:45:16 We know that. Our Tagalog friends, even Homer, is English.
00:45:22 Boss Dodo, do you have a question for Daniel?
00:45:24 I was writing earlier and my English was running out.
00:45:28 Just last one, guys. My hot pick for the World Cup, I really think, I know Jordan Clarkson is one hell of a player,
00:45:38 but I think he kind of, I'm sorry, Jordan, but I think he made more harm than good for the national team program.
00:45:46 He overdid himself.
00:45:48 I was, because if he really wanted to push the Philippine team forward, I know that he tried his best to drive and kick, drive and kick,
00:45:59 but throughout those games, we saw the same result.
00:46:03 I was a big champion for Anshuame. He may not be the popular player for the naturalized slot,
00:46:11 but I was a big fan of Anshuame and how his game would have been useful, I think.
00:46:18 I would think he can play outside. He can defend those pick and pop big men of other Euro teams or the other national teams,
00:46:28 and he can bang with the bigger guys down low. Or Justin Brownlee. He can play the wing. He can play the four. He can defend.
00:46:37 So in those cases, we needed a mix of Brownlee or Anshuame. Clarkson is NBA as it is, but sorry to say, that's my hot pick for the Philippine team.
00:46:57 I see your point.
00:47:04 Mike, Earl, what can you say about the gilas roster that Coach Tim Koon brought out?
00:47:15 Do you think that can bring home the bacon for the Philippines?
00:47:19 For me, it's competitive enough to be able to compete.
00:47:27 But we're not sure yet because most of the works, of course, will be implemented by the coaches or the system.
00:47:34 But talent-wise, it's balanced because there are bigs, there are wings, there are guard positions.
00:47:41 And for me, a big factor is what the fans are asking for.
00:47:50 Coincidentally, because most of the fans are asking for things from SMC.
00:47:56 So in a way, it will reduce the distraction and more on support.
00:48:02 I'm not saying that the bash will be totally gone or that there will be a coach because on Facebook, everyone is a coach in the comment section.
00:48:12 But it's like an athlete when there's support because almost all the leagues, like Abreva, Terence Long, are there in the roster.
00:48:21 So it's like, Snow, you're right. There's no more trouble when it comes to players' requests, right?
00:48:30 Yes, if you want Jun, he's already there.
00:48:33 Yes, he's already there.
00:48:34 He's already there.
00:48:36 And the ones in the 12th and 13th months, actually, they're also the face of PBA.
00:48:46 They're like the idols of our idols now.
00:48:49 So, there.
00:48:51 They have the best collection of players, no doubt.
00:48:54 Yes, the SMC.
00:48:57 Yeah, okay.
00:49:00 Earl, I'll ask you. In that lineup, who do you expect to be there but not there?
00:49:06 I'm surprised because...
00:49:08 What was it again? Sorry.
00:49:10 The one I expect...
00:49:12 Who do you want to be there but not there?
00:49:16 That's hard.
00:49:21 Actually, I'm looking for a hands-off player in the 12th, but if I think about it, I want Mikey Williams.
00:49:33 But I don't know. I can only speculate why he's not there.
00:49:39 But I feel like Mikey Williams has a big impact if he can bring down the Philippines in Asian Games.
00:49:47 Mikey Williams is...
00:49:49 I know Mikey Williams is with Jerry, right?
00:49:54 I think he's on the list.
00:49:59 But he's not answering the calls.
00:50:04 He's not answering.
00:50:06 Since they added the lineup, he's not answering the calls.
00:50:11 If the price is right, it's Mikey Williams.
00:50:15 If the price is right. And he can be banned from the PBA.
00:50:19 Boss Jerry, those silent bans are embarrassing.
00:50:22 Boss, there are many players who are silent banned from the PBA, especially if the king wants it, you don't want it.
00:50:28 Right?
00:50:30 Okay.
00:50:31 Darwin, what is your take on our opponents?
00:50:35 Japan is strong.
00:50:37 Boss Jerry, is it official that you won't allow the Japan B-League players to play in the Asian Games?
00:50:45 From what I understand, no.
00:50:48 Because the Japan team, I think, the one who fought in the World Cup, they will only have one player left.
00:50:57 So they will add a new team to the Asian Games.
00:51:03 Because their players will play in the B-League.
00:51:06 But do you think this is a tactical move on the part of Japan and one of its stakeholders, the B-League?
00:51:13 Reading between the lines, obviously, that's how it is.
00:51:18 But do you think the talent of the Japan B-League is deep for them to do this one?
00:51:26 I think yes. Actually, no. The FIBA itself admitted during the press conference, before the finals,
00:51:41 that they consider the B-League as the top Asian league right now.
00:51:48 The FIBA said that Japan B-League is fast.
00:51:56 They have been super active for three years in hiring Asian imports.
00:52:02 We saw that they qualified for the World Cup.
00:52:09 But you, Darwin, aka Kong TV, do you think Japan, what should we watch?
00:52:18 Are you following Asian?
00:52:20 In Japan, they have a lot of good players.
00:52:28 And their development is fast.
00:52:32 And now, the Asian Games is coming, even if they didn't use the line-up for the World Cup,
00:52:40 but I read an article, I don't know if it's on Spin,
00:52:45 that they are practicing at the same time, their game in the Asian Games and the World Cup.
00:52:54 They are practicing at the same time.
00:52:56 So, they are ahead in terms of preparation.
00:53:02 At least they have a foresight.
00:53:05 Yes, they are at the same time. Unlike the Philippines,
00:53:11 they waited for the World Cup to end before they practiced.
00:53:15 They are on the way to the World Cup, they are practicing.
00:53:20 That's what I read.
00:53:24 Darwin, you suddenly disappeared.
00:53:27 But do you think we can achieve a podium finish here?
00:53:32 Are you expecting a gold?
00:53:34 The gold is a long shot.
00:53:40 But at least bronze, hopefully.
00:53:43 But the gold, it will be hard.
00:53:46 Especially now, they will only practice for two weeks.
00:53:50 The line-up is strong, but the problem is, it's only two weeks.
00:53:55 So, it will still be a bit of a struggle in terms of the place.
00:54:00 Of course, the chemistry is still lacking.
00:54:04 It's still not complete.
00:54:06 Though the line-up will be good, the players will be good,
00:54:11 but it will depend on the preparation.
00:54:18 Okay. Our viewers, do you think we can achieve a gold in the Asian Games?
00:54:22 Do you think that's one of the immediate targets of our San Miguel group,
00:54:28 which is now spearheading our SBP?
00:54:31 Of course, Ryan Reyes, what is your take on this?
00:54:35 What can Alphrancis Chua give?
00:54:39 If you want to change something in him, what is it?
00:54:42 So that he can become an effective head leader of the Philippine basketball.
00:54:47 [PAUSE]
00:54:51 Ryan, you're on mute. Go ahead.
00:54:55 I wrote a lot.
00:54:57 So, that's a born winner.
00:55:02 So, he listens to the clamor of the fans, the people.
00:55:07 You see what happened to Tim Cohn.
00:55:11 He's asking for that for Inebra.
00:55:14 He gave it to her.
00:55:17 And even when the players asked for it, I believe that whatever it takes,
00:55:22 he's running for it.
00:55:25 So, when the lineup of players is formed,
00:55:28 whoever it is, if he asks for it, he'll give it.
00:55:31 Is it Boss Alpha?
00:55:33 That's it.
00:55:35 And CTC, Coach Tim Cohn, I hope he doesn't become the head coach
00:55:39 because I know he's focused on us.
00:55:42 That's why we're going to get a foreign coach
00:55:45 because San Miguel needs a coach who's tested.
00:55:50 Look at Ron Jacobs and Kugagan.
00:55:53 They're already in their ranks before they give it.
00:55:56 So, most likely, it's two jobs of Tim Cohn.
00:56:00 So, maybe we'll continue because we're the same as the takes of the Idols.
00:56:07 At the beginning, after the World Cup, it's SMC.
00:56:10 So, I saw that.
00:56:12 It's not the same scenario.
00:56:13 Can you see the ticket sales?
00:56:15 It's low because it was done by a business.
00:56:18 It was done by SMC.
00:56:20 So, they really took the lead.
00:56:23 That's what happened.
00:56:24 MVP, they're really out after the World Cup.
00:56:29 So, what else can I tell you?
00:56:31 When it comes to the players, maybe in the 12 men,
00:56:35 I'm looking for additional shooters.
00:56:38 Maybe Tolentino, Lassiter or Wright.
00:56:41 So, it's better.
00:56:42 The whole lineup is good.
00:56:44 I'm just lacking in shooters.
00:56:47 Al Francis is really good but the script is vague.
00:56:54 But Ry, do you think Al Francis is the best man for the job
00:57:00 to head the Philippine basketball at this juncture?
00:57:04 Aside from you, of course.
00:57:07 Aside from you, of course.
00:57:11 You guys, I'm really buying you a screen because you can see it.
00:57:18 You can see it.
00:57:19 You're listening to people more.
00:57:22 Even if others are just memes, but mostly, you're looking at what's better.
00:57:27 Because our only goal is to change because we're the number one in Asia.
00:57:33 We're the number one in Asia.
00:57:37 We're here again from scratch.
00:57:40 We're all scratch.
00:57:43 We're all paper.
00:57:45 We need to improve.
00:57:49 Of course, when it comes to business, you can't do without it.
00:57:52 You don't need to spend money that you won't earn.
00:57:56 As RSA, you can't do anything.
00:58:00 You can't do anything.
00:58:03 And we know how San Miguel will run when it comes to the good.
00:58:08 But the expectations when it comes to Asian Games, a second round qualifying,
00:58:17 but in the medal rounds, a bronze,
00:58:22 because there are still many strong teams.
00:58:25 Maybe even Team Zayn, maybe they have it.
00:58:30 With all the players they have, there are many teams on their side.
00:58:35 So you can see that they are really prepared.
00:58:41 And yet, it's the same as SEA Games.
00:58:44 As long as you're a passport holder, that's your country.
00:58:48 Maybe 3 to 4 naturalization, maybe they have it.
00:58:53 So that's what's happening.
00:58:56 But if we look at Alfrancis Chua,
00:59:00 he's a good start so we can do this.
00:59:03 And yet, he won't give up on the glamour.
00:59:07 So you can see, he's a boss.
00:59:12 He's a boss.
00:59:15 Actually, if it's Al, he's going to lead our national team.
00:59:20 He's not a coward.
00:59:24 That's what we will praise SBP.
00:59:27 They received many punches, but they just let it go.
00:59:30 They still have respect.
00:59:35 You can't just say what you want when someone tells you something.
00:59:40 It will only make things worse.
00:59:42 The situation will only get worse.
00:59:45 You're being punished, especially to those who are commenting.
00:59:50 Because we, for one, we only give comments based on our observations,
00:59:57 based on what we see as "wrong" that we want to correct for the betterment of the program,
01:00:05 not just Gilas, but Philippine basketball in general and other basketball teams as well.
01:00:12 That's why our haters are laughing.
01:00:16 They are calling us coaches here and they want to be coaches.
01:00:21 If we want to be coaches, we should have been coaches in the barangay when we were in high school.
01:00:26 And now, if we don't know how to be coaches, you will say that we don't know how to analyze.
01:00:32 Those memes are called commentators.
01:00:39 That's why... no, they are paid.
01:00:43 That's their way of... but if you look at it, they are saying that there's a content that's not there.
01:00:49 That's why...
01:00:50 And this is the only thing, haters.
01:00:54 This is our job.
01:00:55 Even if you don't have coaches, you're idolizing them.
01:00:59 You're idolizing the players.
01:01:00 We are here.
01:01:01 The famous players that were eliminated the other day, we are still here.
01:01:06 Boss Dodo, think about it. Lim Mbeng is still famous.
01:01:11 He's already covering Joy Tuning Show.
01:01:14 He's covering Kadau Pampalad.
01:01:19 Then Jeffrey Reeves, he's covering Boss Jerry.
01:01:24 I'm just Alvin Patrimonio.
01:01:27 I'm just Alvin Patrimonio.
01:01:28 I'm just Alvin Patrimonio.
01:01:29 I'm just Alvin Patrimonio.
01:01:30 I'm just Alvin Patrimonio.
01:01:31 I'm just Alvin Patrimonio.
01:01:32 I'm just Alvin Patrimonio.
01:01:33 I'm just Alvin Patrimonio.
01:01:34 To be honest, Boss Jerry, do you believe that I caught Scottie?
01:01:38 That's a fake news.
01:01:40 That's a fake news.
01:01:41 Good luck to you.
01:01:42 Scottie, Brick Anmise, those are the ones I caught when I was banned.
01:01:46 They were the ones who went in.
01:01:48 I'm not sure if I can do that.
01:01:50 Okay, Earl, Daniel, Michael, Darwin, Ryan.
01:01:57 Thank you very much.
01:01:59 We already asked all of them.
01:02:03 Raise your hands.
01:02:05 We're going to be the attendants.
01:02:06 Who do you think will be a good program under Al Francis Chua?
01:02:12 Raise your hands.
01:02:13 One, two, three.
01:02:16 I'll join.
01:02:18 I don't have a personal opinion on that.
01:02:22 I believe that Al Francis Chua will bring a good program, especially that I'm latching him.
01:02:27 I'm latching him, Boss Ares.
01:02:30 You know that Al Francis Chua's weakness is not his latching.
01:02:33 It's Boss Ares.
01:02:34 If Boss Ares says something, he will follow it.
01:02:37 Of course, he's his boss.
01:02:38 Right?
01:02:39 That's what I said, Boss.
01:02:41 Anyway, thank you very much to all of you.
01:02:43 Darwin, Michael, Ryan, Daniel, and Earl, thank you very much.
01:02:48 Thank you so much.
01:02:49 Okay.
01:02:50 Thank you.
01:02:51 Boss Jerry, do you think we will have a foreign coach one of these days?
01:02:56 Earl, thank you.
01:02:58 Boss Jerry.
01:02:59 We already have a foreign coach.
01:03:02 But his wife is a Filipino, Ma'am Chris.
01:03:05 Let's see.
01:03:08 I think everything will...
01:03:11 It's down to the outcome of our campaign, the Asian Games.
01:03:15 Let's see what will happen.
01:03:18 Jeff, you wrote something about Sergio Hernandez, the former coach of Argentina.
01:03:26 Is he good?
01:03:28 Yes.
01:03:29 Actually, I heard that he's very interested in being a top player in the NBA.
01:03:39 Really?
01:03:40 Yes.
01:03:41 But for him to be able to do those things in Argentina, there's a gap.
01:03:50 Yes.
01:03:51 He's Manu Ginoblio, Luis Escola.
01:03:56 I think in the 2014 World Cup, he was the coach of Argentina.
01:04:01 No, I don't think so.
01:04:04 It's like that.
01:04:06 But you, Boss Lodo, will we get the past of other teams?
01:04:11 So we will look for a new one, a kid, someone who knows more about technology.
01:04:15 We can get a future head coach.
01:04:19 I don't want to put labels on their future, but what I like about it is right now,
01:04:32 we're seeing European basketball is becoming more attentive to the way to play internationally.
01:04:41 We saw that in the last World Cup, even the USA, it was a close game.
01:04:46 There's a saying, the German coach is actually a Canadian.
01:04:53 But you can still see how Germany plays.
01:04:57 It's definitely not NBA or any other type of basketball that you see in North America.
01:05:06 It's still European basketball.
01:05:08 And Germany is on top.
01:05:11 World Champs.
01:05:14 World Champs.
01:05:16 But Germany is on top. It's in Europe.
01:05:19 Yes.
01:05:20 Right?
01:05:21 It's still in Europe.
01:05:23 So even if the coach is Canadian, he adapted to the system of the opponent.
01:05:29 Yes.
01:05:30 It's the same manner as Club Valville when they coached Greece.
01:05:36 It's the same kind of field that they used in the semi-finals of the 2002 World Championship.
01:05:44 But to be fair with us, Boss Dodo, Boss Jerry, you remember, the World Cup hasn't started yet.
01:05:52 We're still in the qualifiers. We're saying that Euro basketball is the way to go.
01:05:59 It happened right before the eyes of our fellow Filipino basketball fans. They saw the difference.
01:06:07 If you look at it, the prototype of the Philippines is NBA.
01:06:14 You saw what happened in the NBA.
01:06:17 Slovenia has a bloodline with the NBA. It's also a motor sport.
01:06:22 If Luca enters, their system will be in a waywind. If he goes out, he will be chased.
01:06:30 You cannot say that Schreuder is NBA because he played under the system.
01:06:37 Apart from that, we know that he's a nomad in the NBA.
01:06:42 He's also a travelman. What's it called Boss?
01:06:46 Journeyman.
01:06:52 Okay viewers, I will ask you. Do you think the SBP should be a hackbang here?
01:06:59 Should we have a foreign coach or should we stick to coach Tim Cohn?
01:07:03 Will we have a coach under coach Tim Cohn?
01:07:06 Dave Joyang said that their only job is to support. Job Garcia is a journeyman.
01:07:12 Sorry, my brain is a bit clouded. I'm looking for my wallet. Lazada has a delivery.
01:07:18 I've been getting teased by the kids for a while. I've been calmed down for a while.
01:07:23 Okay. Coupe said that you have a big heart.
01:07:27 Boss, I'm just now a Dodo. From 115, I'm now just 82, Boss Dodo.
01:07:33 My target is 78. It's hard to go down.
01:07:37 Okay. Chris Pamparo said that Canada suddenly jumped into the system and they're in the top five in the world.
01:07:44 Boss, it's good that Canada showed that. We're not expecting them to be in the top five, not even top six.
01:07:51 Right? Before the world cup.
01:07:54 Their coach is a Spaniard. He's of Spanish descent.
01:08:00 I think he's also an assistant coach with the Sacramento Kings.
01:08:07 Maybe Jimmy Alapag will be with him.
01:08:12 If he's a Spaniard, you know that his influence is still Eurobasket.
01:08:22 He's a Spaniard. And their consultant is David Blatt, who we know was a coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers before.
01:08:33 He was also a coach of the Russian national team.
01:08:39 So, the influence of Eurobasket is still in the Canadian team.
01:08:47 Although they have NBA players, SGA, Olenek, Barrett, they don't have Wiggins yet.
01:08:58 And in the Denver Nuggets, Jamal Murray. They don't have those two yet. What more if they're there.
01:09:13 Amado Vera Hernandez said, thank you to our smart viewers, the coach of Canada was in the Spanish national team before.
01:09:23 Mark Poynog said that Poy Eran should be picked even if he's just a three-point guard.
01:09:28 If you pick Phil Jackson, Ed Llamas said, laugh at him.
01:09:32 Boss Lodo, I'm asking you. Do you think Coach Tim Conde will use a triangle offense with so little time left in our preparation?
01:09:41 Huh? No. You know, Coach Tim is very adaptable. I haven't seen him use the triangle in a while.
01:09:50 So, I'm sure he'll form the system according to the strengths of the players.
01:09:58 He saw it in the World Cup, what the players can do and can't do. I'm sure he'll adapt.
01:10:08 Boss, the people behind you, can you tell them not to be noisy?
01:10:12 Because they're coming in. Tell them not to be noisy. Just kidding.
01:10:16 It's noisy here, that's why I don't want to be here.
01:10:18 Why are you there, boss? Martes, you're at home.
01:10:22 I'm missing.
01:10:24 Earlier, earlier. Okay. Okay.
01:10:26 Vin Sotnas said that the foreign European coach should be Tim Conde.
01:10:31 He's more on NBA style via the triangle and Eric's Paul Strasz influence.
01:10:36 What do you think about that, Boss Jerry?
01:10:38 Boss Jerry?
01:10:41 Is Tim Conde NBA style? So, we should get a European coach?
01:10:52 What's the question?
01:10:58 I asked you the comment of one of our viewers, that we should get a foreign or European coach.
01:11:07 Because Tim Conde is more on NBA style.
01:11:11 Do you think Coach Tim Conde will come up with a new way?
01:11:14 Coach, sorry, Coach.
01:11:18 Coach Nesnes is very adaptable.
01:11:22 Why not? Maybe Coach Tim will surprise us.
01:11:29 He's still up. He's something up on his sleeve that we haven't seen in his coaching career.
01:11:41 Because PBA is different from international teams.
01:11:47 Let's give him the benefit.
01:11:51 But are you seeing Jimmy Alapag joining the Gilas coaching pool soon?
01:11:55 I don't think so.
01:11:58 Because he's waiting for his NBA dream to coach.
01:12:04 He didn't become a player but this time out, he's already there as a coach.
01:12:09 Maria Aceret-Sapio said, "Sir, can you score a goal in the Philippines? The lineup is strong. It's just two weeks. Can you do it?"
01:12:17 Boss Lodo, do you think we will have a problem in cohesion here?
01:12:21 Can we score a goal? What will be the problem that you see?
01:12:25 Boss Lodo, you're muted. Just a little click.
01:12:31 Same old, same old. The number one problem will be cohesion.
01:12:36 You said there are people who will be joining the World Cup but there are new people.
01:12:43 How can you mess with Talvin, Terrence, Jason Perkins? It will take time.
01:12:50 And of course, as they have seen in the World Cup, it will definitely take more than two weeks.
01:12:58 But having said that, I like the team that Coach Timo Sego is putting up. I think he will fight.
01:13:10 I noticed what Ryan Reyes said earlier. Why is there no shooter?
01:13:18 Yes. Who? Terrence?
01:13:22 Terrence is really not a shooter. He's just a fake shooter.
01:13:29 But the born to shoot is different. You know the born to shoot like T.C. Malapar.
01:13:37 I think they will suffer. But other than that, I like the team that Coach Tim Cohn was able to coach.
01:13:46 For those who don't know, how many pool did we have? Only 13 were killed last night.
01:13:54 Boss Jerry, how many pool did we have under Coach Tim Cohn? 60 were submitted but 13 were killed last night.
01:14:00 He doesn't have 12 yet. He doesn't have a target. Even if it's 16, 23, he doesn't have that.
01:14:06 I think that's it.
01:14:08 So these are the ones who were present in the practice last night.
01:14:14 Jun Marfajardo, Japi Taguilar, Scotty Thompson and R.R. Pugo. Those are the veterans from the World Cup.
01:14:20 And then Chris Newsom and Calvin Ovtana, who were cut from the World Cup.
01:14:25 And then Justin Brownlee and Ansh Kwame.
01:14:30 Calvin Abueva and Terrence Romeo, surprise pick. And then Motow Tuwa, Jason Perkins and Stanley Pringle, who is acting as a reserve.
01:14:40 I don't have Jamie Malonso and Brandon Ganuelas Roser.
01:14:46 Boss Jerry, I will ask you. Who should be here?
01:14:50 I don't have anyone. I'm not private.
01:14:59 Jamie, I'm asking why CJ Perez is not here.
01:15:02 Actually, that's what we didn't ask yesterday.
01:15:07 And me, I'm asking our guests and our panelists. Christian Sanhartin is not here.
01:15:15 Christian retired.
01:15:19 Retired?
01:15:23 Retired from the National Team.
01:15:26 Why? Why? He said.
01:15:29 He needs to be here. This is sudden, right?
01:15:32 Boss Jerry, why?
01:15:34 I think the qualifier, I can't remember.
01:15:43 He posted a social media post announcing his retirement from the National Team.
01:15:54 He posted a post about the grind of playing for Ginebra.
01:15:59 Will Abando be back?
01:16:03 No idea.
01:16:06 They are talking to KBL, the Korean Basketball Museum.
01:16:11 But it seems like it's a bit confusing.
01:16:14 They are sure...
01:16:17 What?
01:16:21 There's no response from KBL and the museum?
01:16:24 No. But Abando told us during the World Cup that he will be reported by KBL in July.
01:16:39 Our friend texted us, Boss Dodo,
01:16:44 (inaudible)
01:17:05 (inaudible)
01:17:17 I think he's already there.
01:17:20 He's already there with the additional.
01:17:24 Jerry is slow when it comes to playing.
01:17:28 (inaudible)
01:17:52 FIBA tournaments only, not even FIBA sanctions.
01:17:55 I think the Asian Games is FIBA sanctioned but it's not an unauthorized FIBA event.
01:18:00 Am I right, Boss Jerry?
01:18:02 FIBA is sanctioned but it's not a FIBA event.
01:18:05 Yes.
01:18:07 You're right.
01:18:09 Basketball in the barangay, if it's sanctioned by PBA, they can sponsor it.
01:18:15 But it's not a PBA event.
01:18:17 It's a player's event.
01:18:20 Should we temper our expectations in the Asian Games, Boss Dodo?
01:18:24 We need to develop young players, said Nico Sebastian.
01:18:27 Yes. We need to temper expectations but at the same time, I think the players will fight.
01:18:34 If they don't fight, it will be chaotic.
01:18:37 But they will fight.
01:18:44 I seriously doubt that they will reach the final.
01:18:50 Anyway, I think that's where we'll end. Thank you very much.
01:18:56 Arvin Tolentino is not with us.
01:18:58 I don't think Arvin is with us.
01:19:00 Actually, that's what I was expecting. Arvin Tolentino.
01:19:04 And Paul Lee.
01:19:07 Yes, Jerry. Paul Lee and Arvin.
01:19:12 You're a shooter. Why isn't Paul Lee here?
01:19:15 Ask him.
01:19:17 I didn't call him. He said he's not here.
01:19:19 Really?
01:19:21 I talked to him the other night. I think on the eve of the first day of practice.
01:19:28 I talked to him.
01:19:30 He's in Troy, he's waiting for you.
01:19:35 He didn't call you.
01:19:39 If you're in an MVP group and you're a big man, you'll be in trouble.
01:19:43 Because the SMC is a priority. They're big man.
01:19:47 Okay. And there's no time. That's the problem. There's no time.
01:19:52 The time for Coach Tim Cohn to gel these players to his system, that will be the challenge at this point.
01:19:59 Let's go to the final word.
01:20:01 Boss Ruben, you're good. We miss you.
01:20:04 Nico Sebastian said, "Okay, spin. Keep up the good work."
01:20:08 This is what we'll do. We'll ask questions and answer your questions towards the end of our program before we do the final word.
01:20:15 We request you to share, share, share. And heart, heart, heart. Like, like, like.
01:20:19 And I hope you'll follow our social media accounts. It's scrolling right below us.
01:20:25 So you'll be updated on our developments.
01:20:29 Okay. Day Joyong said, "Surprise me, Paul Lee. You went to practice."
01:20:35 You can't do that. By invitation only.
01:20:37 And it's embarrassing for the ego and pride of the player if you suddenly go there and show up.
01:20:42 Right boss Doc?
01:20:44 Yes. But now I realized that I should go to Paul Lee.
01:20:49 That's why. There are a lot of players who will be selected in the PBA.
01:20:55 Arana, right? But it seems that SMC and MVP groups are limited.
01:21:02 They already know the players. It's easier to access. There's no more negotiation.
01:21:06 So Mikey Williams, when is the deadline for this?
01:21:09 SMC group, he said.
01:21:11 SMC group. What? Are you going? You're not going?
01:21:15 Okay. Okay. Remove it. Remove it. That's how it is.
01:21:19 Okay. Anyway, so let's go to the final word.
01:21:23 Angelo Tamayo said, "I don't." You should greet Al Francis to help him.
01:21:31 I don't need to be there to help.
01:21:34 For me, what we're saying here, you will be hurt but it's better if we hurt you with the truth.
01:21:42 You can learn from it than we're pointing you to something that's happening to Manny Pacquiao.
01:21:48 You're a great singer boss. You're a great singer.
01:21:50 Sometimes when we touch, the honesty is too much.
01:21:54 Okay. Let's go to the final word. Boss Jerry.
01:22:00 What is it?
01:22:01 SMC?
01:22:03 San Miguel.
01:22:05 Looking back at the history of GILAS Filipinas, this will be the second time actually that the SMC group will back up the national team.
01:22:22 If you remember it before, when our FIBA suspension was lifted in 2007 during the Tokushima FIBA Asia Championship.
01:22:37 That team was sponsored by San Miguel Corporation.
01:22:43 Chot Reyes was the coach and I think he was still with San Miguel. He was the coach of San Miguel.
01:22:51 If you look at the lineup of that team, most of them, not all of them,
01:22:59 they were Mark Aguiwa, Donny Sigel, Don Donon Tiberios, Kirby Raymundo, JJ Alterbran, Eric Mink.
01:23:12 Almost half of them were SMC players.
01:23:16 Unfortunately, because we just got back from the suspension, there was no time to prepare, to train together as one unit.
01:23:28 We did not succeed, we did not make it to the quarterfinals.
01:23:35 In the other words, we were relegated to the classification field.
01:23:40 But I think this time, the organizational chart is different.
01:23:49 As Boss Dodo, Ms. No said, there is one person who is in charge. And I think that is Coach Alphonse Chua.
01:23:59 And of course, that order will come from above, from Mr. Ramon.
01:24:07 So that's where the flowchart is clear.
01:24:11 If you look at the flowchart, you know how the team will run.
01:24:19 So that's where there is accountability if the team ever fails or succeeds.
01:24:30 And I think we'll just hope for the best. They say that the second time is the best time to succeed.
01:24:46 So good luck to San Miguel Corporation.
01:24:53 This will be the start of a renaissance.
01:25:02 The word is too deep.
01:25:07 Road to recovery of the Philippine Raptors.
01:25:12 Snow, you're already asleep.
01:25:18 I'm just texting, I hope you reply soon.
01:25:22 How are you, Doc?
01:25:25 If you're asking me if SMB can breathe new life into the basketball program, I'm very confident that it would.
01:25:37 Because the key person involved there is Alphonse Chua.
01:25:44 As we all know, the past few years Alphonse Chua has been a magic touch in basketball.
01:25:52 Look what he has done to San Miguel, look what he has done to Magnolia and even to Dilebra.
01:25:59 You can see that Larry Schwartz is very successful.
01:26:03 Beyond that, Tron became champion.
01:26:07 Alphonse is a bit unseen there.
01:26:12 So maybe he's someone that Gil has mixed right now.
01:26:17 As I said earlier, if you compare the current expression to the San Miguel group,
01:26:24 I think San Miguel makes the better basketball decisions.
01:26:29 With their teams, with the players, with the coaches, everything.
01:26:33 I think that emanates from the fact that Jerry has accountability.
01:26:41 He's always the one making the decisions.
01:26:45 Then when you read the past, it's a go.
01:26:49 So you can see that the moment the coach team would be sending to the ASEAN group was formed.
01:26:57 Because think about it, right off the bat, there are already 12.
01:27:02 Then there's no discussion, no controversy, and the team was set.
01:27:08 I think that eliminates a lot of the distractions of those with the preparation for the ASEAN group.
01:27:14 Now they're 12-13 players and they can completely focus on preparing for the games.
01:27:21 That is part of the advantages of having one man making all the decisions for the group.
01:27:34 I hope that will happen, not only for Gil's program but for the basketball program as a whole.
01:27:42 What I'm not sure right now is that when it comes to the San Miguel group,
01:27:50 they don't take too well to pre-decision.
01:27:53 I hope they adjust to San Miguel, especially the well-meaning suggestions and pre-decisions.
01:28:03 But overall, I think this will be good for Gilas.
01:28:10 Short-term and long-term.
01:28:12 You know why?
01:28:14 In the past few years of Gilas, there were a lot of bad decisions that went down.
01:28:25 The worst decision was the decision to not only bring back Treus but to keep him after the C-Games debacle.
01:28:37 Think about it.
01:28:39 This is what I'm pointing out. Why did he reach the World Cup?
01:28:43 So now, maybe we need a new voice, a new perspective, and a new direction for Gilas.
01:28:54 I hope San Miguel and El Francis can give that to Gilas.
01:29:00 Hopefully, we get good results from the A-Shed.
01:29:04 Not only the A-Shed but down the road.
01:29:07 Snow?
01:29:09 Thank you so much, Boss Snow.
01:29:13 I'm going to sleep now.
01:29:15 He's going to sleep.
01:29:17 He's sleepy.
01:29:20 This is Coach Snow.
01:29:24 This is my final word.
01:29:31 Can San Miguel breathe life into our Gilas program?
01:29:35 Definitely, yes.
01:29:38 If we're going to talk about basketball, and that is the PBA,
01:29:43 out of the 18 championships, out of the 18 titles that were given, 15 went to San Miguel.
01:29:53 One went to Rain or Shine, and then two to Talk and Text.
01:29:59 Looking at that history, we can see how San Miguel, especially Boss Ramon Ang and Boss Al Francis Chua,
01:30:09 are really born winners, are really bent in winning.
01:30:13 What about our national team?
01:30:16 We know the history of San Miguel when it comes to hosting or bankrolling our basketball team, especially our national team.
01:30:27 However, the last time San Miguel held a national team, it was Boss Danding Cojuangco.
01:30:38 The mandate, the order, and the signature when it comes to the budget came from Boss Danding.
01:30:46 So it's going to be a challenge now for Boss Ramon Ang because we know that Boss Ramon Ang is a sportsman,
01:30:54 he's a car and a motorist.
01:30:57 But the basketball of Boss RSA is there.
01:31:04 It's not going to be lost. That's why they are the winningest team. San Miguel is the winningest team.
01:31:09 They have the winningest coach now in coach team code.
01:31:12 So it's not a question. Actually, if I'm the one you're asking,
01:31:17 the takeover of San Miguel in our SBP and GILAS program should have happened before the World Cup.
01:31:24 One year before the World Cup, we could have gotten a different campaign, a different result in the past World Cup.
01:31:33 Maybe San Miguel was forced to sit down because nothing happened.
01:31:40 If I'm the one you're asking, don't say I'm in favor of San Miguel. I have a history with San Miguel.
01:31:47 I'm not making any allies here. I'm just telling the truth.
01:31:51 For me, the last step for our GILAS program to improve, to rise,
01:32:01 we have to reach our goal for our GILAS men's basketball team, San Miguel.
01:32:08 I'm going to be disappointed if this program fails again.
01:32:14 I hope that won't happen.
01:32:17 After the MVP group, we have no other choice but to manage our GILAS program.
01:32:25 Now, we're looking at San Miguel steering the wheel for our national team, which is a welcome development.
01:32:34 When it comes to basketball, when it comes to PBA, they are the ones who are getting excited.
01:32:39 They know that in NCAA, they are the ones who are getting excited.
01:32:43 San Miguel group are always two, three, four, five steps ahead of the MVP group.
01:32:52 They are with GILAS, the expectation of the people is the same.
01:32:57 Hopefully, we won't be disappointed here.
01:33:01 Another good development here is that San Miguel is taking the lead with the MVP group by its side.
01:33:13 That's the good thing.
01:33:15 This is going to be a partnership.
01:33:20 I hope that in this partnership, it won't be a problem.
01:33:24 Like how I'm seeing it right now, the MVP group is allowing San Miguel to take over.
01:33:30 You guys should be the ones to drive.
01:33:32 We can't have two drivers driving.
01:33:35 Turn left, turn right.
01:33:38 That's what will be good here, especially with the personality of Al Francis Chua.
01:33:46 He's that tyrant. What he says should happen, that's what will be good.
01:33:53 My only wish here is that Al Francis Chua's decision would be for the betterment of our national team.
01:34:00 That, I challenge Al Francis Chua.
01:34:03 When it comes to the Philippine basketball landscape, you're perfect.
01:34:07 You're international, you need to catch up on that because the war is different in the international than the local.
01:34:16 Now, our question to Mr. Al Francis Chua.
01:34:20 Being the former official of the Basketball Coaches Association of the Philippines, are you open to having a foreign coach?
01:34:33 Won't your principal before, when it comes to hiring a coach, won't cloud your decision-making for the game?
01:34:44 Because basketball is now globalized.
01:34:47 Europeanized, they say.
01:34:50 If you don't know Euro kind of basketball, we'll be left behind.
01:34:55 And look at our neighbors.
01:34:57 Most of them, even here in Southeast Asia, they're hiring European coaches.
01:35:04 And that is what the country needs right now.
01:35:09 If we want to move forward, if we want to be together with the world,
01:35:14 we should get a European coach right after the Asian Games, right after the tenure of Coach Tim Cohn.
01:35:22 Because it is imperative that we gain new technology when it comes to basketball because we're left behind.
01:35:30 We saw that during the World Cup.
01:35:32 And I hope you saw that too.
01:35:38 I'm sure you're all basketball people.
01:35:40 And apart from that, I hope San Miguel should come up with a new pool of players in the center of the field.
01:35:48 Because for one, it will affect your PBA teams if we keep on borrowing players from the league.
01:35:55 Remember, you have three teams there.
01:36:01 Or if we will continue to borrow players from the PBA, Boss Al Francis Chua should now talk to the PBA and request
01:36:11 that the league's schedule be changed to adapt to the schedule of FIBA.
01:36:16 We know that Al Francis Chua is very influential when it comes to our PBA.
01:36:24 If you import, it will be 6-10, it will be 6-9, they can do it.
01:36:30 If you import, it should be 6-9, they can do it.
01:36:35 How about the schedule? We should begin with that.
01:36:39 If we want to succeed, to be successful in this challenge in San Miguel, in our Gila's Philippines program,
01:36:46 we will start with the PBA.
01:36:49 We will start with our foreign coach.
01:36:55 Right now, we can't say anything bad about San Miguel because they have just started.
01:37:00 But definitely, the fans would expect so much from this team come the Asian Games.
01:37:08 But for now, fans, this is what I'm telling you.
01:37:12 They were prepared in a short time, they suddenly sat there.
01:37:17 Let's temper our expectations first.
01:37:21 The best is yet to come, hopefully, after the Asian Games.
01:37:26 That's what we will be waiting for.
01:37:29 That's what we will focus on.
01:37:31 Every move, every decision that San Miguel will make through boss Ramon Ang and boss Al Francis Chua
01:37:38 that will be good for the Philippine basketball team because we will be left behind.
01:37:47 You will be surprised, I will say it myself, Mr. Al Francis Chua,
01:37:52 this is true, you are the hope of the Philippine basketball team.
01:37:59 We are done with the past.
01:38:02 You are the one we are looking at right now.
01:38:05 You are the one we are counting on to make the Gila's Philippines program better.
01:38:13 You will be able to give the right players, you will be able to use your contacts abroad
01:38:18 because you are the ones who will be the most influential agents when it comes to import.
01:38:22 We will be able to get field foreign players that we can include in the pool.
01:38:27 We can put 14-15 years old players in our juniors.
01:38:32 We don't have a junior team boss.
01:38:34 So with your money, with your influence, with your power,
01:38:40 we can aim for that because we are always saying that the team is good, but they don't have a passport by 16 years old.
01:38:45 This is one of the things that San Miguel can aim for right now.
01:38:49 Those who are playing in Europe, America, the Filipinos, you can check them now.
01:38:58 When it comes to the players, Jun Marfajardo is the one you are aiming for in Cebu.
01:39:04 Most of the players are there. I hope you will be the one to help those who are in Japan to come back to the Philippines.
01:39:14 I hope San Miguel can do something to help Asian imports in Japan, Korea and Taiwan to come back here.
01:39:23 Play for San Miguel or for Gila's.
01:39:26 Until now, our cuponado's strength is coming back.
01:39:33 Some are commenting that Gila's is a foreign player from abroad.
01:39:37 This is crazy. Our football team is successful.
01:39:41 All of them are field foreign players.
01:39:44 Let's not discriminate field foreign players because there are a lot of them abroad.
01:39:51 I'm just 13 years old, 14 years old and you see a prospect abroad, give them a Philippine passport.
01:39:58 So that 10 years from now, we won't have a problem.
01:40:02 So just do it.
01:40:03 I hope, boss Al Francis, when you appoint a coach, don't just hire them.
01:40:10 There are a lot of options. Let's try out.
01:40:15 Let's have a program.
01:40:19 Let's assess the coaches.
01:40:23 Nothing against coach Pidot because we want a wind of change here.
01:40:27 That will happen. It will start with the coaching staff and manpower.
01:40:31 We will get it. I hope the SBP under the SMC group will be open to criticisms.
01:40:37 If we're going to take it with a grain of salt, it will help you.
01:40:42 We're not trying to be good here. We're just airing.
01:40:45 We're just echoing the sentiment of the public.
01:40:48 That's all my friends.
01:40:50 Boss Dodo, boss Jerry and to our five guests earlier, thank you very much.
01:40:58 They made our story happy.
01:41:01 Ryan Reyes, Darwin, Michael, Daniel and I forgot the name of the other one earlier.
01:41:11 Is it Emil?
01:41:12 Thank you very much.
01:41:14 Of course, to the men and women of Spin.ph and Summit Media,
01:41:18 to boss Ruben Tirado who is on sick bay.
01:41:22 Thank you also to boss Rich Ferdinand, who will edit our videos.
01:41:26 To boss John Mariano, our supervisor when it comes to production.
01:41:30 Of course, to boss Jerry Ramos, boss Dodo Katakutan, I'm your host Snow Badua.
