MANILA — Highlighted by the arrival of CJ Perez and Robert Bolick and the return of Kiefer Ravena, the attendance of Gilas Pilipinas Men in the gear-up for the FIBA World Cup increased significantly.

On Monday night, 13 players troop to the Meralco Gym in Pasig to take part in the third practice session for the said international competition.

Japeth Aguilar, Raymond Almazan, Mark Barroca, Poy Erram, June Mar Fajardo, Marcio Lassiter, Paul Lee, Roger Pogoy, and Troy Rosario also came in attendance.

Even Stanley Pringle also made a surprise appearance as well.

"This is our first complete practice, actually," Coach Yeng Guiao said, comparing it to the first two practices where only eight and nine players attended respectively. "It's our best practice so far."

Gabe Norwood, who was in the first two training sessions, took the Monday off this time, while Scottie Thompson already declared that he is begging off from Gilas duties. (PNA)
