POC Chief wants a PBA-backed Gilas Pilipinas squad for SEA Games
DESPITE the country's dominance in basketball in the region, Philippine Olympic Committee president Jose ‘Peping’ Cojuangco said cage officials must prove that their team is a cinch for a gold medal in the 2013 Southeast Asian Games before becoming part of the Myanmar-bound delegation.
