Gilas Pilipinas gives up on Arnold Van Opstal for SEA games
GILAS cadet national coach Jong Uichico is set to move on without La Salle center Arnold Van Opstal as the Filipinos are now deep in their preparation to defend the country’s Southeast Asian Games men’s basketball gold medal in Myanmar next month.
Uichico invited Van Opstal to join the original 19-man list for the Gilas cadet pool last month. But with the La Salle star big man still failing to get the green light from the school to join the national squad due to his finals exams, Uichico said he had to make the tough decision.

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.
Cojuangco has insisted that a PBA-backed Gilas Pilipinas squad should be sent to the biennial meet in Myanmar. In the event the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas insists otherwise, he said the body should prove the team worthy of a ticket to Myanmar before the SEAG Task Force.
