Kiefer, Thirdy Ravena lead 12-man Gilas Pilipinas cast to Vietnam SEA Games

Brothers Kiefer and Thirdy Ravena headline the 12-man Gilas Pilipinas lineup to defend the country's gold medal in the 31st Southeast Asian Games slated for May 12 in Hanoi, Vietnam.

The two will be joined by a mix of veterans and cadets as PBA cagers June Mar Fajardo, Moala Tautuaa, Troy Rosario, Matthew Wright, RR Pogoy, Kib Montalbo, Isaac Go, and Kevin Alas made it to the roster led by head coach Chot Reyes.

Rounding out the lineup are young guns Lebron Lopez and Wil Navarro.

Gilas Pilipinas 3x3, meanwhile, will be composed of Marvin Hayes, Brandon Ganuelas-Rosser, Reymar Caduyac and Jorey Napoles , all of whom are part of the Limitless Appmasters.

On the women's side, leading the pack are mainstays Clare Castro, Ella Fajardo, Afril Bernardino, Andrea Tongco, Angelica Marie Surada, Janine Pontejos, Camille Clarin, Khate Castillo, and Chack Cabinbin.

Filipino-Americans Gabi Bade and Stefanie Berberabe are also tipped to make their national team debuts.

All of the four national basketball teams are looking to replicate their success in the 2019 SEA Games where they ruled the 5-on-5 and 3x3 events in both men's and women's divisions.
