MANILA, Philippines - DUBAI – Smart Gilas Pilipinas takes on an Al Jazeera of Egypt Wednesday, vowing to play aggressive against an untested team in the quarterfinal round of the 21st Dubai Invitational at the Al Ahli Indoor Stadium here.
“I don’t know exactly about African basketball, I really don’t have any idea,” said Smart Gilas coach Rajko Toroman. “This is the first time I saw a team from Egypt, this is the first time, I just really don’t know anything about African basketball.”
Smart Gilas finished second in Group B with a 3-1 (win-loss) record, losing only to Al Jalaa of Syria, which swept its four games, to set up a crossover quarterfinal showdown with Al Jazeera, third in Group A with a 2-2 slate.

 MANILA, Philippines - The Philippine competitors in the first Asian Youth Games are ready for action in the multi-event sports tournament which opens Monday in Singapore.
“Our athletes are in high spirits and they are raring to compete," said Philippine Chief of Mission Col. Cesar Binag, who is also the president of the Table Tennis Association of the Philippines. There are 59 Filipino athletes competing in Singapore, including 18 football players who are now back in the country after playing a Singapore selection to a 2-2 tie at the Jalan Besar Stadium Saturday afternoon. Event organizers were forced to quarantine the RP soccer team after one player tested positive for Influenza A(H1N1). Like Hong Kong, whose three members of the soccer were found to have the flu, the Philippines was removed from the official list of participants. Despite this, the remaining members of the Philippine delegation are ready to compete in athletics, aquatics (diving and swimming), basketball 3-on-3, beach volleyball, bowling, shooting and table tennis. |
