At around 12 midnight on Wednesday, the team officials of Chooks-to-Go Pilipinas decided to test their luck by sending Isaiah Austin to Hong Kong in hopes that he could get his Chinese visa from there.
Everyone’s fingers were crossed, hoping for a miracle.
And their prayers were answered on Wednesday afternoon, as Austin’s visa was approved at around 5:30.
“Miracles do happen,” said team owner Ronald Mascariñas. “With Isaiah in the fold, we could now focus on our goal: to shock Asia once more!”
Kiefer Ravena, Jeron Teng, Jeric Teng, LA Revilla, Norbert Torres, Jett Manuel, Raymar Jose, Almond Vosotros, and Al Francis Tamsi are all boarding a plane to China as of publication time.
The 7-foot-1 center, on the other hand, boarded the first train headed to Chenzhou.
