Filipino-Chinese five vies in ASEAN tilt

MANILA,Philippines — Reinforced by two more former PBA players, Filipino-Chinese Veterans Basketball Association (FCVBA) leaves for Chang Mai, Thailand today, looking to regain lost glory in the Asean Veterans Basketball Tournament that fires off tomorrow.

FCVBA’s three-year reign in the annual event was snapped last year prompting the association’s “godfathers” Terry Que of Rain or Shine and Jimi Lim of Ironcon Builders to tap the services of former Crispa player Joel Gomez and Roberto Poblete.

“Both players are good additions to the team so we are confident we can regain our title,” said Lim.

Former Crispa guard Bong dela Cruz has long been a regular fixture in the association having played in the 50-and-above and 60-and-above divisions before.
