Also part of the squad are 6-foot-8 big man Kobe Demisana of UPIS, Seven Gagate, Ethan Alian, and Luis Pablo of La Salle Greenhills, LA Andres and Joshua Coronel of La Salle, James Nacua of San Beda-Taytay, and Ramon Salvoro of Sacred Heart School-Ateneo de Cebu.
Josh Reyes will continue handling the Gilas Youth side tasked to improve on the fourth-place finish in 2018 when a Kai Sotto-led crew made it all the way to the semifinals before losing to Australia in Nonthaburi, Thailand.
That same team later lost to China in the bronze-medal game.
