The Discovery Perlas Pilipinas team got off to a big start in the single round-robin tournament, routing Singapore, 101-34, behind a sleek running game and pressure defense. A 10-0 start was all it took for the Filipinas to blow Singapore out of the game.
RP coach Haydee Ong managed to give all her 12 players ample playing time against the Singaporeans with Ma. Anna Tolentino, Fatz to family and friends, topscoring with 19 points and snaring 10 rebounds. “The girls played with no let up from start to finish,” Ong said after that 67-point rout. “We’ll carry this over to our games against the other teams.”
Their next game will be against Malaysia on Oct. 26th at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium.
Please take cognizance of the fact that Ma. Anna Ramos Tolentino (Fatz) is a Cavintinian. She is the daughter of Atty. & Mrs. Ramoncito Tolentino (nee Gigi Ramos) and the granddaughter of former Vice-mayor Hilding and Adeling Ramos of Cailles Street, Cavinti, Laguna.
Congratulations, Ma. Anna!!! Mabuhay ang Discovery Perlas Pilipinas!!!
