Gilas Pilipinas steps onto the Fiba Asia Cup Qualifiers at Angeles University Foundation on Wednesday night, holding reminders of the past in one hand and building blocks in the other.
The Nationals take on South Korea at 6 p.m., playing a side that has been a source of torment in the past, but also some flashes of bliss, especially in games played here.
Spearheading the charge are the 7-foot-3 teen Kai Sotto (See related story on this page) and the 6-foot-10 newly-minted Filipino Ange Kouame, the cornerstones of a towering frontline the national program has never enjoyed in previous campaigns.
