    UNLIKE in past editions, the Filipino-Chinese Veterans Basketball Association (FCVBA) will be competing in only one age division but remains supremely confident it can extend its dominance and make history in the ASEAN Veterans Basketball Tournament.

    Having asserted their authority in all age categories of the annual event in the past, including the 40, 50, 60, and 65 divisions in numerous occasions, the Fil-Chinese cagers are as determined to become the first champion of the inaugural 70-and-above division that will be held in Semarang, Indonesia from Sept. 10 to 16.

    Out to lead the FCVBA’s campaign are Rain or Shine co-team owner Terry Que and Jimi Lim with former PBA player Pol Herrera as the team’s reinforcement.

    Before the event took a break in 2020 due to the Covid pandemic, the team ruled the 65-and-above division after pulling off a 54-50 come-from-behind win over Hatyai in Chiang Mai, Thailand.

      “We hope to become the first champion of the 70-and-above just like what the association did in various categories in the past,” said the 73-year-old Que.

      Other members of the Ching Ka Lee-mentored team are Alfonso Kaw, Macario Co, Alberto To, James Chua, Reynaldo Chua, Charles Ong, Amang Santos, Johnson Lao, and former MICAA player from Cebu Zotico Tan.
