FEATURED STORIES

Korea missed last month’s bubble due to health and safety concerns brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Gilas currently leads Group A with a 3-0 record after coming off a sweep of Thailand in the second window last month in Manama, Bahrain.

The Philippine team is expected to again be bolstered by PBA players after going with an all-amateur roster against the Thais.

The latest window could also see Ateneo center Angelo Kouame make his national team debut as a naturalized Filipino.
