The same 13 players from the previous workouts showed up on Friday morning at the Meralco Gym, as SMART Gilas Pilipinas resumed its’ preps for the World Cup Qualifiers after a break on Thursday.

Furthermore, the Nationals will continue with their twice-a-day practice setting until tomorrow, Saturday.

The 13 consistent cagers in the resumption of sessions were spearheaded by Gilas veterans Jayson Castro, Gabe Norwood, June Mar Fajardo, Calvin Abueva, Troy Rosario, Allein Maliksi, and Raymond Almazan.

Completing the cast were Kiefer Ravena, Mac Belo, Roger Pogoy, Carl Bryan Cruz, Matthew Wright, and Kevin Alas.
