Gilas Pilipinas women’s coach Patrick Aquino said that the opportunity he got in discovering new talents in the US with Filipino lineage will be big in the continued development of women’s basketball in the country.
With the help of Fil-Am Nation, a private group formed by Cris Gopez – cousin of PBA player Alex Cabagnot of San Miguel Beer – that assists aspiring Filipino players in the States, Aquino has visited a number of communities and Division 1 schools in the US NCAA.
“It’s good thing siguro that I’m here now,” said Aquino, who has been in the US for several weeks, as he guested online in the Saturday sports show The Chasedown on One PH over Cignal TV.
