The one takeaway from Gilas Pilipinas' stint in the 2017 FIBA Asia Cup is this — Terrence Romeo is ready to be the face of the men's national basketball team.

He tore up China and Iraq with his fearless shooting, then showed up South Korea in the quarterfinals Wednesday where he scored 22 points and made 6-of-9 3-pointers all during a second-quarter surge that kept Gilas within striking distance of Korea.

Even Gilas playmaker Kiefer Ravena was left dumbfounded by Romeo's Steph Curry-esque shooting display.

Too bad Romeo's will power couldn't tow the Philippines to victory, as Gilas was shown the door after a 32-point loss.

Still, his highlights are worth not just one viewing but several, because Romeo playing for flag and country is the best version of him by far.

MANILA, Philippines – Two-time UAAP MVP and National University (NU) star Bella Belen confirmed Thursday that Season 87 would be her final playing year at the collegiate level.

Belen, 22, a two-time champion already and the reigning top plum recipient, seeks to exit the UAAP with flying colors by keeping the women's volleyball crown in NU.

"Sobrang excited ako to play ngayon kasi this is my final year na nga with NU and siyempre gusto namin mag-back-to-back," Belen told reporters during the press conference for the Season 87 women's volleyball tournament on Thursday at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City.

"Hindi namin siya nagawa nung [Season] 85, so ngayon mas iba 'yung mindset nung team, kasi mas mahirap mag-defend ng crown kaysa umagaw ng crown," she went on.

The Lady Bulldogs spiker said her focus right now is with her current team and not her future career at the pro level.

"Ako po kasi personally, hindi ko pa po siya masyado naiisip, like kung ano 'yung dapat kong i-perform ko sa pro. 'Yung mindset ko po ngayon is UAAP muna. Tatapusin ko muna 'yung UAAP season ko with NU nang maganda," Belen said.

"Tsaka ko na iisipin 'yung future. Sa present muna ako nag-iisip," she concluded.

This time, the Lady Bulldogs are on title defense mode under the mentorship of Premier Volleyball League (PVL) grand slam champion coach Sherwin Meneses.
