De Jesus upbeat for next tour for flag with Gilas Women
Filipino-American playmaker Vanessa De Jesus is set to rejoin the Gilas women's national basketball team for upcoming tournaments, including the FIBA Women's Asia Cup in China next month.
De Jesus aims to bring her increased relentlessness and urgency to the team, focusing on competing and winning in the present.
She is expected to play alongside Jack Danielle Animam in a squad coached by Pat Aquino.
The team's goal is to qualify for their first-ever Women's World Cup by overcoming regional powerhouses like Australia, Japan, and Lebanon.
De Jesus is optimistic about the team's chances despite the challenging opponents.
She is coming off a deep run with Duke in the NCAA's Sweet 16 last April.
