Maligayang pasko at manigong bagong taon!
Nandito akong muli upang tumakbo na naman bilang Senior NT Manager.
Nag-expect tayo na makukuha natin ang hosting for the Asia Championship for season 65, unang season na eligible tayong makakuha nito, noong season 64 consolation tournament. Ngunit naisahan tayo ng Lebanon after nilang makapasok sa second knockout stage (first round pa lang natalo na tayo ng Portugal). Lebanon were able to win the Asia Championship in season 65 by going 11-2 throughout the tournament. Hindi nila sinayang ang home court advantage nila that season kahit neutral site ang semis at finals.
Sa pangalawang pagtatangka sa pagkuha ng hosting para sa Asia Championship, nagwagi tayong makamit ito during season 66. Nalamangan natin ang Japan na 26th place lang kumpara sa atin na 11th. Parehong koponan ay nag-exit sa first round kaya sa atin napunta ang hosting dahil mas mataas tayo sa standings.
Lebanon's season 65 cinderella story should serve as an inspiration sa ating mga underdogs (China, Hong Kong and Taiwan being the titans of Asia). Na-inspire ako sa pagkapanalo nila at nagalak sa kanilang nakamit. We are looking at this season wanting the same for our team. This is our best chance to make a podium finish (syempre go for gold tayo) at pagkakataong makatungtong sa season 68 World Championship (season 46 pa yung huli natin).
Kaya naman muli kong inaanyayahan ang lahat ng managers sa Pilipinas na bumoto at sumuporta sa darating na NT campaign. Let us support our National Teams (both Seniors and U21) in reaching new heights.
Maraming salamat at laban Pilipinas!
