MANILA, Philippines — Kevin Quiambao said his newborn child will be an added inspiration when he represents Gilas Pilipinas anew in the second window of the Fiba Asia Cup 2025 qualifiers.

“Ito yung ikukuwento ko sa kanya in the future na nakapaglaro ako ng Gilas and then hopefully na makuha din siya in the future. Pero, added motivation lagi ko lang silang iniisip palagi every time. Every after game, chine-check ko sila kung okay lang ba sila talaga. Kahit busy ako sa training, games, hinding hindi ko sila makakalimutan i-check,” Quiambao told reporters after leading La Salle past UP in the UAAP Season 87 men’s basketball tournament on Sunday.

The versatile forward is grateful for La Salle’s support in his upcoming stint before the Final Four.

“Credit doon si coach Migs Aytona yung strength and conditioning coach namin. Alam niya kasi kung anong load sa katawan ko, Kung mag unload ako. Yung factor ng recovery, alam niya lahat.  So, tiwala lang ako sa system niya. Lagi ko lang sinusunod kung anong gusto niya. So if naffeel ko na medyo napapagod ako nagsasabi naman ako sa kanya. So, yun, two-way street kaming dalawa ni coach,” he said.

La Salle will wrap up its elimination round stint on Wednesday against the also-ran National University on Wednesday at UST Quadricentennial Pavilion.
