We expected them to come back and last………, they did! I promised to be ready with everything and I was indeed very ready! The only difference was that, Kim and Camille weren’t able to watch with me. But they made a “dedication thingy” for Chris Tiu.

| Very candid shot. counter clockwise from right: Marvin Hayes, Marcus Douthit, Mark Barroca and Chris Tiu |
If you compare this team to the first one, it’s different. They already had a naturalized player in Marcus Douthit, Cliff Hodge
was also there to replace Marcio Lassiter who was injured at that time and the
built of their bodies were great. I was with
my sister and my roommate. The excitement that I felt was still the same with
the first one. While they were warming up, the first person I saw was Chris Tiu
but the presence of someone from the Gilas bench shocked me the most. It’s
Coach Charles Tiu, the brother of Chris Tiu.
