Maraming salamat sa mga muling nagtiwala para sa isa pang termino bilang Senior NT manager. Nakakagulat na di hamak na mas kaunti ang mga bumoto ngayong eleksyon kumpara sa mga nakaraan.

Anyway, Asia Cup na namang muli this season. Hindi tayo nagtagumpay last season sa consolation dahil na-knockout agad tayo sa round of 32, kaya naman Lebanon ang nakasungit ng home court for this season's Asia Cup. As usually, bye week na naman tayo sa unang linggo natin kaya naghanap muna tayo ng ka-scrimmage this week. Ang schedule natin para sa unang group stage ay ang sumusunod:
GW2 - Pakistan (bye week ay GW7)
GW3 - Indonesia (bye week ay GW6)
GW4 - Saudi Arabia (bye week ay GW5)
GW5 - Lubnan (bye week ay GW2)
GW6 - Kazakhstan (bye week ay GW4)
GW7 - Singapore (bye week ay GW3)

We will be at a disadvantage enthusiasm-wise sa first 3 games natin kaya naman kailangan natin maging creative sa mga unang laro natin. The toughest matchup sa group natin ay walang iba kundi ang host na Lebanon. We will at least have the same enthusiasm during that week kaya ang homecourt advantage naman nila ang kailangan nating gawan ng paraan upang manalo.

As is tradition, our first 12 players will be announced after the training update and weekend league game para makasiguro tayong ang una nating mga ilalaro ay may magandang GS at hindi injured.

Maraming salamat sa mga patuloy na sumusuporta sa ating National Team. Looking forward ako na makita ang mga alaga ninyo kapag ready na sila para sa National Team. Para naman sa mga fully trained na at nag-aantay na lang ng call ups, siguraduhin po nating palaging maganda ang GS ng ating player.

Good luck sa atin this season at laban Pilipinas!

Pilipinas beats Pakistan, 139-98

We were able to cruise past Pakistan after a really close 1st quarter. 2nd quarter medyo umarangkada na tayo at natuluyan na ngang nakalayo in the 2nd half. They were kept in the game by Sharif as he was torching us.

The team was led by Jiffrey Sumalapao who started the game with a 7 of 7 shooting from the field. He tallied 27pts, 3asts, 3stls and 5 3s made in 26mins of play. Ang karilyebo niya namang si Sixto Nical ang nanguna sa ating bench na may 26pts on 10 of 12 shooting in 20mins. Other starters also chipped in:
Benson Villarivera: 16pts, 3asts, 2reb
Florentino Olmida: 15pts, 4asts
Leandro Toledanes: 6pts, 9rebs, 7asts
Fortunato Arcega: 5pts, 10rebs, 2asts

Sa susunod na lunes, Indonesia naman ang ating makakaharap. Natalo sila sa Kazakhstan last week at Singapore naman this week. Mas dikit ang laro nila kahapon kaysa nakaraan kaya malamang maghahanda silang maigi laban sa atin. May advantage sila enthusiasm pero neutral naman ang court. Kailangan lang natin ng magandang GS sa susunod na training update para hindi tayo matalo.

Maraming salamat sa lahat ng patuloy na sumusuporta at nagsasanay para sa ating National Team.

Laban Pilipinas!

Pilipinas sneaks past Indonesia, 117-105

This week, Indonesia ang nakaharap natin kung saan ay dikit ang naging laban hanggang sa huling quarter.
As usual, slow start na naman tayo sa Q1 pero nakalamang ng isa going into the break. Dikit din sa Q3 at nakaalagwa na lang tayo later in the 4th quarter after nilang maidikit ang score, 100-98. Nagkamali rin sila ng hula sa dalawang GDP natin kaya nakatulong din yun sa panalo natin.

Lahat ng starters natin ay naka-double digit na punto. We were led by Florentino Olmida with 30pts, 6rebs, 7asts and 2blks. Our bigs posted a double-double, Delfin Orais with 16pts, 15rebs, 2asts and 1stl while Fortunato Arcega had 12pts, 19rebs, 6asts and 3blks. Jiffrey Sumalapao had a quiet 14pts and 8asts. Off the bench, Ericson Regidor led the way with 11pts while Leorio Lovino had 9pts (7-8 FTs) and 5asts.

Next week, Saudi Arabia naman ang makakalaban natin. Lamang sila sa enthusiasm ngunit mas lamang naman tayo sa talento. Hopefully, we are in great shape next week para naman ma-maximize natin ang output for that game.


Maraming salamat sa lahat ng patuloy na sumusuporta. Laban Pilipinas!

Share ko lang coach Rad

Jump Shot: legendary Jump Range: stupendous
Outside Def.: legendary Handling: phenomenal
Driving: stupendous Passing: sensational
Inside Shot: wondrous Inside Def.: prolific
Rebounding: inept Shot Blocking: average
Stamina: average Free Throw: legendary (24)

Experience: stupendous TSP: 139 (104 + 35)

Di ko na binanggit pangalan nung player but this player is on the transfer list. Really well built player halos walang weakness for a NT player. Sweldo nito per week is aroud 200k definitely mahirap i-sustain for A DIV 2 team almost impossible for a DIV 3 team. Even some DIV 1 teams aayaw sa sweldo. This is the reason why trainers should coordinate with U21/NT coaches about player building. Example lang, PGs with super high handling affects the salary so much. SGs with Super high JR/JS ganoon din. Every position has a pitfall in terms of salary. Not saying that we dont need the skills to be high but there are tricks (more like thresholds) in every position para iwasan and salaries to balloon. Libre lang naman magtanong. Its really much better to build sustainable players that you can keep as you grow your team.

Maraming salamat sa insight, Coach Ob1.
I agree with this pero parang magkakaroon na naman ng changes sa salary computation, sa discord pa lang yata siya nababanggit. Kaya titingnan din natin kung gaano siya makakaapekto sa mga current build na meron tayo.
Sa trainers naman, sinusubukan naman nating mag-reach out sa mga kanila para masusubaybayan din yung progress ng mga trainees.

I think this is the thread where someone mentioned the free skills or skills that cost very little per position meron din nag suggest that it should be overhauled (the salary formulas) but im not sure if and when they will be implemented. I guess my main point also in my previous post was that new and very few old trainers dont comprehend yet the old system. Mas concerned ako sa primary factors not skills that contribute to the salary. As we know nag papalit ang positions based on skill distributions and levels. Therefore the need for colloboration with NT/U21 coaches. Especially with the almost free skills per position. When i started out ages ago walang nag guide sa akin or they just simply did not know enough about it. Confident naman ako sa inyong dalawa na nakaupo kaya i am inviting trainers to collaborate with you guys.

Pilipinas gets past host Lubnan, 89-87

A tightly contested match in Lebanon against the host proved to be a fun one. Nakuha natin ang pinakamalaki nating lamang (11pt lead) sa kalagitnaan ng 3rd quarter ngunit nalusaw din ito sa loob ng tatlong minuto. Sa 4th quarter naman, lamang tayo ng 7pt with 5:33 remaining pero nahabol din ngunit nahabol din at nakalamang pa sila sa loob din ng tatlong minuto. The last few minutes proved how evenly matched both teams are but, in the end, Pilipinas prevailed and took the W, thanks to two clutch free throws from Fortunato Arcega (6pts, 11rebs, 2asts, 2blks).

The team was led by the triumvirate of Jiffrey Sumalapao (32pts, 4rebs, 6asts), Benson Villarivera (18pts, 5rebs) and Leorio Lovino (16pts, 3rebs, 5asts). The twin towers of Fortunato Arcega and Leandro Toledanes (4pts, 7rebs, 4asts, 5blks) provided the much-needed interior presence against Lubnan's inside offense.

Next week, we will be facing a hungry Kazakhstan team eyeing a spot for the next round of the Asia Cup. Season 41 was the last time they got past the first round.

We seem to be hitting our strides in the right time. Sana next week ay magandang muli or mas maganda pa ang game shape ng ating mga manlalaro. May 3 open slots pa sa ating pool this season kaya naman inaasahan nating may mga kukunin pa tayong reinforcement para sa susunod na round.

Maraming salamat at laban Pilipinas!

Pilipinas shrugs off slow 1st quarter to beat Kazakhstan, 91-75

Powered by the trio of Leorio Lovino (18pts, 2rebs, 5asts), Benson Villarivera (17pts, 11rebs, 2stls) and Sixto Nical (11pts, 3rebs, 5asts), we were able to overcome a slow 1st quarter managing a 1-pt deficit before going to the break. Fortunato Arcega and Alan Marquese helped anchor our defense tallying 3 blks each. Off the bench, Jiffrey Sumalapao had an efficient 10pts, 2rebs & 2asts in 10 minutes of play. Florentino Olmida (9pts) was also efficient hitting 5-5 from the charity stripe while Augustus Moleno had 7pts and 7rebs to help the team off the bench.

Next week na ang final game ng first round at chance nating ma-sweep ang pool natin kung matalo natin ang Singapore. After next week ay second round na ng group phase kung saan ay magu-grupo tayo sa iba pang teams mula sa ibang pool.

Looking forward to have great GS ulit next week para mas may chance tayo to sweep our group. Maraming salamat sa lahat ng patuloy na sumusuporta sa ating National Team.

Laban Pilipinas!

Pilipinas beats Singapore, 118-98, proceeds to the next round

A tightly contested first half saw team Pilipinas lead by 7pts at halftime. Lahat ng starters ay nakapagtala ng double-digit na puntos plus a fantastic off the bench performance galing kay Benson Villarivera na nagtala ng 14pts, 7rebs at 3asts. Melecio Sidad (23pts, 4rebs, 2stls) and Ericson Regidor (21pts, 2rebs, 4asts) took the scoring load for the team while the frontcourt duo of Pete Libron (12pts, 15rebs, 5asts) and Augustus Moleno (10pts, 14rebs, 2asts) each posted a double-double to help the team out. Dobbie Obillos also contributed with 17pts, 4rebs, 5asts.

Next week na ang 2nd group stage. Kasama natin sa grupong ito ang Indonesia, Japan, Korea, China at Hong Kong. Sa ganyang pagkakasunod-sunod natin sila makakaharap sa mga susunod na linggo.

Our road to the semis starts here, umaasa ako sa patuloy ninyong pagsuporta sa ating National Team. Hopefully we get to end the season with a medal pero mahaba pa ang tatahakin nating daan patungo roon.

Muli, maraming salamat at Laban Pilipinas!

Pilipinas beat Indonesia again in our second matchup, 93-81

Another 12-pt win, same as our first game against them, against Indonesia in our second round opener. They managed to guess our pace and had more effort but our game shape and enthusiam proved to be too much for them. The team was led by Jiffrey Sumalapao (25pts, 3rebs, 10asts) and Sixto Nical (25pts, 3rebs, 3asts) who combined for 50 of our 93pts. Our big man combo of Fortunato Arcega and Leandro Toledanes combined for 31rebs, 11 of which were from the offensive end.

On Monday, we will be up against Japan who finished their first round table with a 4-2 record and a big win against Australia.

Overall, our game shape looks good naman so hopefully we can pull off another win in the second round.

Maraming salamat sa lahat ng patuloy na naghahasa at patuloy na sumusuporta sa National Team natin.

Laban Pilipinas!

Pilipinas escapes Japan after a tough 2nd half, 103-88

Quite a scare did the Japanese gave us in the 2nd half of the game. The team led by 11 at the half but a rough 3rd quarter from our boys helped them get the lead down to 4 before the 4th quarter. With 8:07 remaining in the 4th quarter, they managed to take the lead 77-78 which forced us to use our first full time out of the game. The team then went on a run to finish the game and hold Japan to 10pts in the remainder of the quarter to ice the game.

The team was led by Sixto Nical with 23pts, 6rebs, 2asts and 2stls while Fortunato Arcega posted a 19pt-13reb double-double and 3asts. Off the bench, Epifanio Querubin helped provide the necessary offensive spark with 10pts and 5asts in 12mins of play. Special mention to Leandro Toledanes who also had himself a game with 8pts, 11rebs, 4asts and 5blks.

Next week, we will be facing South Korea who will be eager to nab their first win in the second round.

Maraming salamat sa lahat ng patuloy na sumusuporta sa National Team.

Laban Pilipinas!
