One of them is Team Platinum Karaoke-Philippines, which will depart within the week for the two-day cagefest, which will return after a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic.

They will accompany the Zamboanga Valientes in the pursuit of gaining a stage win and returning home with a medal. They could even have a chance to advance to the FIBA 3×3 World Tour.

The group will be led by Gilas Pilipinas guard Juan Gomez de Liano, who just returned from a stint with a B.League club team in Japan.

Chris de Chavez, the Philippines’ No. 19 player, will be one of De Liano’s partners in the men’s category.
