El Capitan Tenorio on the move…..Hindi na nakakabigla dahil lagi nyang ginagawa ang ganyang clutch shooting in last seconds of ball game. Maganda ang pag-pili ni coach chot reyes sa smart gilas 2 kaya nakuha natin ang kampeonato sa jones cup. Buong buhay nilang inalay ang laban para sa ating bayan. Mabuhay at panatilihin natin na kaya natin makipag-sabayan sa mga malalakas na team sa buong mundo. What next for the smart gilas assignment?
yeeesss !!! panalo!!
