team in the 2019 FIBA Women's Asia Cup.

out the news.

Womens' campaign and it's been gaining ground since we were running it under
the reign of coach Pat Aquino."

Castro has been a part of the national team since March during the
Philippines' stint in the 2019 Fiba 3x3 Asia Cup and the 6-foot-4 center will
surely be a boost to the country's frontline for in continental tiff.

Castro自三月參加2019 FIBA 3x3亞洲盃以來一直是國家隊一員，而這位6呎4吋的中鋒當
然會是洲際賽事中國家隊的前線。


However, she has been prohibited from playing owing to academics as well as
the Lady Tamaraws' ongoing campaign in the UAAP Season 82.

然而，她因為學業的缺席及Lady Tamaraw進行中的UAAP 82賽季而被禁止參與。

"It's FEU's conscience now," he said.

"現在是遠東大學的良心，"他說。


Without Castro, Gilas Womens will lean on Jack Animam and Kelli Hayes to take
care of its frontline in the tournament set from September 24 to 29 in
Bangalore, India.

少了Castro，菲律賓女籃在9月24日至9月29日印度班加羅爾進行的賽事，前場將倚賴Jack
Animan和Kelli Hayes來保衛。


It will be a tall task, however, for the Philippines to stay in Division I as
it is slotted in Group B with Australia, New Zealand, and China.

而對菲律賓來說，留在第一級將會是一項艱鉅的任務，因為預賽B組的對手有澳洲、紐西蘭
和中國。
