    JACK Animam joins 11 holdovers in a Gilas Women’s lineup that is looking to claim a third straight Southeast Asian Games gold medal in Cambodia.

    The Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (SBP) released the final 12 of Gilas Women coached by Pat Aquino, who opted to make little changes to the roster with Animam returning after missing last year’s conquest in Hanoi due to an ACL injury.

    She is joined by Afril Bernardino, Janine Pontejos, Clare Castro, Khate Castillo, Camille Clarin, Trina Guytingco, Ella Fajardo, Chack Cabinbin, Stefanie Berberabe, Andrea Tongco, and Angel Surada, all members of the gold medal team in Hanoi in 2022.

    Animam, meanwhile, will also be going for the 3x3 gold as she teams up with Bernardino, Pontejos, and Mikka Cacho.

    Gilas Women looks to stretch their domination in 5-on-5 to three, having won the first gold medal in 2019 when the country hosted the SEA Games.
