Big CONGRATS to Coach Yeng and the guys. Now the focus goes to Korea. Get past them, then the guys will put the hurt on China the second time around.

Angry at myself for not coaching better, but incredibly proud of the guys for playing with their hearts. They could have quit multiple times and didn’t. No excuses.
#NSD
Congrats to Mark, PJ, Rafi, Ian, Justin and Ping (and the rest, including Coach Chito and staff). Back where you belong. Wishing you all the luck in the next series.
Scottie missed two free throws? I didn’t notice. I did notice the D he played on Ibrahim in the 2nd half, the many assists to JB, the hustle, the energy, the rebound. What a blessing to have him on Gilas!
#NSD
Congrats again, Gilas. Just Wow! Only thing missing was the fans! Imagine a full house in Araneta or in the Philippine Arena. That would have been something to behold!!
Just received word that our Game 2 is cancelled tonight and will be played on Thursday instead. I hope all the PBA fans and our Ginebra family stay safe through the rain.
Never in my 30 years of coaching have I seen a player improve so much from the beginning of his career to now than Chris Ross
@cmross6
. Just hard work. Evolved into a superstar.
I'm hurting for Ping. But no one knows him like I do. His character to return and work ethic is off the charts. He'll be back stronger than ever. Miss you, Bud!
Said good bye to Paolo Taha. One of the toughest things I had to do. What a great person he is, and great teammate. We're truly going to miss him, and we wish him the best at Globalport.
Tough night, embarrassing night. One, that I will always remember especially because the Big J was there to witness it. We need to live up to his legacy, and we will.
#NSD
I can’t find the words to express our sorrow and embarrassment over our performance in the bubble. We didn’t live up to the Ginebra legacy, and that was totally my fault. I apologize to the Ginebra nation. All I can say is that it won’t happen again as long as I am the coach.
I don't want to start off this journey with a controversy, so I'm going to do my best to clarify it. I apologize to Justine Baltazar for my hasty remarks regarding his exclusion from the World Cup pool. I did not mean to infer that he didn't want to play for Gilas, but rather..
End of an era. Certainly one of a kind. I loved, in every way, coaching Ping. Tough as nails on the court, gentle in spirit off it.
@MPingris15
will be the standard from which I coach future players. My fav.
It's sayang that players like PJ and Cyrus didn't have a chance to play their last year because of the pandemic and not be able to feel their fan's appreciation on the court. I loved those two and I hope they know my appreciation!!
Wow! What a great, grind-it-out, game 7 win by Magnolia. Great character win. Congrats, guys!! Best of luck against the Power House. If anyone can, you guys can.
It's been tough on all of us, the players, the coaching staff, everyone involved. Needless to say, the results have not been what we wanted, but we're proud of our effort. We're now going to go out and give one more superhuman effort to beat China tonight.
#NSD
I think Paolo is really going to surprise everyone at Global. He's been buried behind his best buddy, MC47, in the rotation, but we all know at Ginebra how dynamic his game is. For sure, he'll blossom over there.
Finally have a chance to take a breath! I want to thank everyone for their birthday tweets, and of course, give a shout out to the fans for helping us get to the Finals!! Excited. Let's GOOOO!!
Crushed to hear of the passing of Sheryl Reyes. She was so full of life and so young, its tough to imagine she’s gone. She changed the fortunes of myself and the Ginebra team by bringing in our champion import. Forever grateful. She will be missed greatly.
I'm broken up because of the loss of Coach Aric. I am so sorry I can't pay my respects to him and his family. He was such an influence early in my coaching career, teaching me about humility and compassion. He touched so many lives through his journey. He will be terribly missed.
Gilas Men's Team will have a joint practice with Gilas Women's Team at Philsports on Thursday, Sept 14. We will share the court and have interactions between both teams. The public is free to come and observe. The gates will open at 4 pm. NO tickets necessary!
For those fans who are asking, Mark has been bothered by an Achilles problem and has not been available to play. We’re hoping he’ll be ready after the break.
I’m crushed after hearing about the passing of Tex Winter. Never understood why he would allow a coach like me to hang out and learn from him, but, wow, he really impacted my life. Will miss him forever.
#TexWinter
Just heard about Joel Banal's heart attack. Great coach, even greater person! A true gentleman. I'm praying for his complete recovery. Prayers also to his family.
Just heard the news of the passing of Mang Jun. He was really loved by the players and the organization, and he was my connection to the great Ginebra past. We all will miss him dearly.

I’m a foreigner who grew up in the Philippines and learned his basketball in the Philippines. I think that puts me in a different category than simply being a “foreigner”.
