After almost a month of break, Gilas Pilipinas will resume its practice session inside a bubble training camp in preparation for the third window of the FIBA Asia Cup Qualifiers this June in Pampanga.
The national team halted its training camp after the Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) called on the athletes to stop all training as the government implemented the Enhanced Community Quarantine in Metro Manila and nearby provinces late last month.
Upon the approval of Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (SBP) president Al Panlilio, Gilas will re-enter the bubble at the Inspire Sports Academy Monday, April 26, in Calamba, Laguna.
Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) President Bambol Tolentino said Tuesday, April 20, they are working on prioritizing athletes bound to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics to get vaccinated as soon as possible.

Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (SBP) president Al Panlilio said Sunday they would take the initiatives to study and form a guideline that could avoid cheating and similar things that occurred in the Pilipinas VisMin Super League last week.
Panlilio said the guideline would include penalties and sanction, like a lifetime ban if necessary.
“Moving forward, the SBP will study how such unwanted incidents that unduly stains the integrity of the game of basketball can be prevented from happening again in the future,” said Panlilio in a statement.
