Beau Belga cut from Final 12 in Gilas Pilipinas
The hard-working big man from the Rain or Shine Elasto Painters Beau Belga was the last man out as Coach Chot Reyes formed his Final 12 for the Fiba-Asia tournament to be held on August 1-11, 2013.
“Beau Belga: the ultimate professional. Tough to tell him. But in the
end he understood what’s best for the team. Dakila ka @bigboybelga30,”
Reyes said in his Twitter account, @coachot, after he has submitted his Final 12 list.
Beau accepted the decision wholeheartedly, tweeted to his 12,000 followers on Twitter "Team ko din ang Gilas Pilipinas, bawal ang pusong mamon".
It is expected that Belga's training with Gilas will boost the season-ending campaign of his mother team, Rain or Shine Elasto Painters with the hopes to defend the Governors Cup trophy with their import, AZ Reid.
