Gilas Pilipinas has lots of reasons to celebrate their gold medal victory at the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou, China.

The squad not only bounced back from an abysmal showing at the 2023 FIBA World Cup but also gave the Philippines its first gold in 5-on-5 basketball in 61 years.

“Dream lang ata yun eh, yung nashu-shoot ni JB lahat,” the San Miguel Beermen star quipped while in attendance at an NCAA game on Sunday in San Juan City.“Tinulungan namin siya, dumepensa kami, at naka-shoot siya ng naka-shoot. Binigay samin ni Lord yung panalo, so sobrang swerte,” he added. “Thanks to the country, to my teammates, the coaches, and the organization for trusting me and choosing me to be part of this group. God is great! God got me! A lot of ups and downs but hey, job is done man,” penned former Ateneo Blue Eagles Ange Kouame.“Don’t forget, specialist in championship,” the 3-time UAAP champion added.
