Rhenz Abando plays a key role as Gilas Pilipinas picks up its first FIBA World Cup win in nearly a decade with a demolition of Asian rival China
MANILA, Philippines – Rhenz Abando hopes this one can make up for all of Gilas Pilipinas fans’ heartaches.
“The fans should still be happy and proud. I hope this somehow alleviates the anger of the other fans, now that we got a win,” Abando said in Filipino. The Philippines failed to reach the second round after dropping all of its group stage games against the Dominican Republic, Angola, and Italy, then bowed out of the race for an outright Paris Olympics berth between Asian squads following its loss to South Sudan in the classification phase.
