Aside from supporting his father Bong who is an assistant coach at TNT, Ravena was also at the venue with Gilas Pilipinas slated to practice after the PBA matches.
“Ngayon lang uli ako nagka-chance panoorin ‘yung PBA and to support my dad sa Talk ‘N Text. May practice din kami pagkatapos namin dito sa Araneta so might as well just be here and watch the game,” said Ravena.
Focus on Gilas
Ravena expressed his excitement in joining Gilas Pilipinas again in the middle of his Japan B.League campaign with the San-En NeoPhoenix.
“Very excited to play for the country once again. Nice to be back and see familiar faces. Nothing else to say but hopefully, maglaro kami ng maganda sa window,” said Ravena.
Ravena got a chance to watch TNT up close with a few members of the Tropang GIGA squad also joining the Gilas campaign in the first window of the Fiba window.
“It’s also nice na nakikita ko sila kung paano sila maglaro ngayon. Hindi pa sila masyado nakaka-practice with us. I kinda see what their game is like.
"Baka magka-idea ako kung ano kailangan ko gawin para makatulong sa team sa upcoming qualifiers,” said Ravena.
