Team Philippines Banks on Big Three for ASEAN Games in Brunei
As the ASEAN Games in Brunei draws closer, excitement is building around Team Philippines’ basketball campaign. This year, all eyes will be on the country’s very own Big Three — Rhene Baterbonia, Macky Peligrino, and Chog Moral — who are set to carry the national colors in the quest for regional supremacy.
For years, the Philippines has been regarded as a basketball powerhouse in Southeast Asia, with its passion for the sport unmatched across the region. Now, with the emergence of this talented trio, the nation’s hopes are pinned on a balanced mix of scoring, leadership, and grit on the court.
Rhene Baterbonia is expected to anchor the squad with his inside presence and rebounding ability. Known for his hustle and relentless motor, he will be the stabilizing force in the paint.
Macky Peligrino, on the other hand, provides versatility. With his ability to shoot from the outside while also slashing to the basket, Peligrino’s offensive arsenal makes him a constant threat to opponents’ defenses.
Rounding up the trio is Chog Moral, a fiery guard who thrives under pressure. His playmaking, quickness, and clutch shooting make him the heartbeat of the team, and he is expected to set the tone for the squad’s intensity.
The ASEAN Games will not be an easy road — regional rivals such as Indonesia, Thailand, and Malaysia have all significantly leveled up their basketball programs in recent years. But with Baterbonia, Peligrino, and Moral leading the charge, Team Philippines is confident of making another strong run at the gold medal.
The stage is set in Brunei. The question now is: Can the Big Three deliver and bring glory back home?
One thing is certain — Filipino fans will be behind them every step of the way. 🇵ðŸ‡ðŸ”¥
