After ruling the recent SEABA (Southeast Asian Basketball Association) tournament in Malaysia, Perlas Pilipinas is bracing for the Southeast Asian Games. If we win the gold in the Southeast Asian Games, then it will be our ticket to the Asian Games,” said Perlas Pilipinas head coach Patrick Aquino during Tuesday’s Philippine Sportswriters Association (PSA) Forum in Malate. The next SEA Games was set in August 2017 in Malaysia. Perlas Pilipinas swept all of its six matches in the SEABA tournament, including bouts against reigning SEA Games champion Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia. Aquino said the feat is a clear indication that Perlas Pilipinas is a force to be reckoned with the next SEA Games in Malaysia.
