Laban Pilipinas, utok!

PUSO. Gilas Pilipinas basketball fans have adopted the slogan or battlecry "Laban Pilipinas, Puso!" One supporter of the national cage team said: "This is OK...After all everyone is shouting it now." But he is suggesting a change, if possible in the battlecry.

UTOK or UTAK. He said he and some Gilas fans are cheering: "Laban Pilipinas, utok:" (brain). He explained that "utok" (in Bisayan or "utak" in Tagalog) is more appropriate than "puso" (heart). He said that "puso" refers only to the will to fight while "utok" refer to the team's and its players' intelligence in playing the game.

NO USE. He said: "Unsaon man nimo ang 'puso' kon wa'y 'utok' nga mangita'g paagi unsaon pagpildi sa kontra?" It's of no use, he stressed.
