For the past 3 years, the core of the Smart Gilas Pilipinas National Basketball Team has been training in and out of the Country with one goal in mind, to win the 2011 FIBA Asia Championship and qualify for the 2012 London Olympics.

Although many are positive that the Smart Gilas can stage an upset in the Tournament, we all know that a very tough challenge is on the way with teams like China, Iran, Lebanon, South Korea and other teams also training hard for the same goal.
