Kalongkong Hiker a.k.a. @thesilentpal is here to congratulate Gilas-Pilipinas (Philippine NT) for winning the silver medal or runner-up finish of the concluded 27th Fiba Asia Championship held here for 11 days from August 1 to 11, 2013 at SM MOA Arena and booking a sure ticket to FIBA World Cup to be held in Barcelona, Spain where Team USA and Team Spain is waiting for us.
Do we have a chance to beat the conquerors of our land once more? Yes, we can because we have a big heart but a big heart is not enough we need to support our National Team and Chot Reyes (I hope he still handles the national team to this league) and Gilas Pilipinas cagers. Will injured Marcus Douthit be healthy at that time, I just hope yes in time to battle out those power house teams. I am so excited for Team Pilipinas and until then I will be on the lookout and all out support for our team. #LabanPilipinas #Puso
Congratulations to Jason “The Blur” Castro or the now you see me now you don’t cager for being one of the Mythical 5 and he’s the best point guard in Asia but in spite of receiving an individual award he said that he is a team player and without the help of his Gilas team mates he couldn’t do it. I agree to that and cheers!

Gilas Pilipinas Theme Song: Sige Lang by Jose Villanueva III of Quest
Sige Lang Lyrics
Eto nanaman tayo bagong simula
Huminga ng malalim alisin ang kaba
Tapos na ang kahapon, pwede nang itapon
Huwag lang ang mga aral dapat yan ay ibaon
Katulong mo sa panibagong hamon
May paparating na bagong alon
Pwede kang lamunin o pwede mong sabayan
Yung aral ng kahapon pwede ka nyang gabayan
Kung ako sayo tumayo ka na dyan
Huwag ka nang magpahuli kami ay sundan
Patungo sa liwanag, aabutin ang tala
Pagkatapos pakita sa mundo pusong nagbabaga
Upang lahat ay mamulat, sa aking susulat
Parinig sa lahat ang aking iuulat
Huwag ka nang mabahala ako ang bahala
kasangga natin si Bathala
Walang imposible
Sige lang ng sige
Abot mo ang mundo
malapit o malayo
Sama sama tayo
Hanggang sa dulo
ano man ang pagsubok
Hindi susuko
Alam kong kaya mo
Sige lang sige
Sige lang sige
Walang imposible
Nagniningning
Ang pangarap ng yong pusong
Humihiling
Na makalimutan ang kahapon
Sanay dinggin
Sigaw ng aking puso
Hindi sumusuko, hindi to susuko
Ilabas ang yong pangarap
Huwag mo yang itatago
Samahan mo ng sipag at tatag ng puso
Tumayo ko sa yong silya
Ikaw ngayon ang bida
Wala nang pipigil pa eto na eto na
Hanggat ako’y humihinga
Sugod lang laban pa
Pangarap abutin
Kumislap tulad ng mga bituin
Sige lang, di ka nagiisa
Sige lang sige pa
