Team Pilipinas Basketball

[RED2018]

I pity coach Tab Baldwin...Ibang-iba ang atmosphere ng preparation ngayon at the best player of the land (June Mar) is indisposed. Even the retired Mighty Mouse has to have himself ready for the recall of duty. I hope he will be up to the challenge

Can't understand why Gary David is still considered? He was virtually a non-factor in Gilas 2 sojourn. Mas ok pa nga performance ni Jeff Chan

Reluctant na magpahiram ng mga players yung ROS pagkatapos nung muntik muntikan na masuloit sa kanila si Paul Lee last year

Here is the complete transcript of the Presentation for #PUSO2019

 

The Philippine delegation to the 2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup hosting rights awarding ceremony has finished its final presentation and will undergo a closed door question and answer session before the FIBA panel votes for the candidate country that will become the host.

Here is the transcript of the speeches made by members of the Philippine delegation, which includes Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas president Manuel V. Pangilinan and actor Lou Diamond Phillips.

Manuel V. Pangilinan:

President Horacio Moratore, Mr Patrick Baumann, my colleagues on the FIBA Central Board, distinguished guests. Good afternoon to all of you. Mabuhay.

In my life, I’ve had the privilege to be part of many momentous occasions. I’ve worked with heads of state and built companies from the ground up. But as I stand here before you today to introduce our bid, I have to say from my heart, this is the proudest day of my life.

Our vision is to make a quantum leap for the World Cup, to sweep not only the Philippines but the world in basketball euphoria as 100 million Filipinos locally and 10 million more Filipinos abroad to bare their love for the sport and ignite that love all over the world.

Simply put, we are people in love with basketball. This is our story.

Lou Diamond Phillips:

I said ‘Puso’ is the major reason this will be the best FIBA World Cup yet. And now we just have 15 minutes to tell you why.

We’ll tell you about the amazing venues, infrastructure and technical ability we have in place to deliver a flawless World Cup. But operational necessities don’t mean success. Yes, they matter. They have to be there. Rock solid. But they are not the things that will create a true watershed in the history of our game.

Those things alone cannot deliver the quantum leap that our FIBA Basketball World Cup so richly deserves. And that is what we plan to do, What you want to do.

So what is that would make the Philippines hosting 2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup so unique? You are going to meet the greatest basketball afns in the world. You’re going to discover why the Philippines provides the perfect environment for this World Cup Something that you can’t manufacture. It’s authentic. It’s very real and it’s like nowhere else.

And most of all, we want to demonstrate why the Philippines hosted World Cup give you, FIBA, a unique opportunity to turn millions of new fans on to our wonderful game.

So let me take you by the hand and show you where I was born. Welcome to the Philippines, a place where wherever we go, you will see what it truly means when an entire country is in love with our game. And how that love becomes essential to a nation that has embraced the power of social media like no other. And we tell ourselves, this is what a FIBA Basketball World Cup is for, an opportunity to amplify our game around the world. This is our chance, your chance, to make that happen.

In the Philippines the 2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup will be riding on a wave of energy, joy and love, created by the greatest and most connected basketball fans on Earth. Think about what that means. In a world where so much divides us, here’s a spirit that unites us. Welcome us in with smiles, laughter, open arms.

Think what the camera will see wherever it turns. A magical atmosphere in packed arenas. A true celebration of our sport. And I’m not just taling about the people in my country. I’m talking about the millions of Filipinos around the world who will create the biggest basketball conversation on social media that anyone has ever seen.

One nation. One heart. One incredible party.

But don’t think this passion comes without a crystal clear understanding of what’s required operationally. Our country has come of age. We’re emerging as an economic powerhouse in Asia, full of innovation, creativity, know-how. Everyone and everything is united by one desire – to deliver the greatest World Cup ever staged anywhere. A quantum leap for the sport’s showcase event.

So it comes straight from my heart when I say to you: This country is born to host the 2019 FIBA World Cup. And we’re ready. Now.

nice try by the philippines. unfortunately, i think it all boiled down to the numbers, infrastructures and the capability to host a tournament of worldwide magnitude against the passion and heart of the philippines. imo, the fiba board took the safe way in choosing china rather than take the risk of choosing a small country which could not even boast of a world class airport. china offered 8 world class cities. how can we even beat that? sad to say but this is the reality. nothing to be ashamed though. we gave it a good shot. pabagsakin na lang natin ang china sa fiba asia!!! LABAN PILIPINAS!!!

[bonanas]

All boils down to business. China is the bigger market and draw.
