Filipino migrants are teeming with excitement for a chance to see up close and personal members of Gilas Pilipinas competing in the 19th Asian Games here.
A Filipino working in a government TV station said Filipino communities from nearby provinces, especially those in the sprawling capital city of Beijing and Ningbo, are expected to come here and find a way to buy tickets to watch Gilas’s game next week.
Sans Terrence Romeo, Calvin Abueva, Mo Tautuaa and Jason Perkins – who were denied by the organizing committee – the Nationals are scheduled to arrive Sunday, Sept. 24, two days before facing Bahrain at 1:30 p.m. “Except for the players, ibang staff ng team pinalabas at kinausap ni Sir Al ng heart-to-heart,” added the insider.“Hindi namin alam kung tickets or pera ang binigay, but the players are all smiling,” added the source.
Still, Gilas coach Tim Cone remained positive that the group could be setting up something promising at the Asiad.
