FILIPINO fans have come out to show their support for Gilas Pilipinas at the Smart Araneta Coliseum on Sunday.
Excitement was in the air from the ticket lines to the stands as the Big Dome welcomed its biggest crowd for a basketball game to date in the middle of the pandemic moments before Gilas' qualifier against New Zealand.
Longtime Gilas Pilipinas captain Gabe Norwood was one of those who came to support the Gilas team as it fights for the top spot of Group A against New Zealand in the 2023 Fiba World Cup Asian qualifiers.
