RGT Basketball

Last night marked the end of our Spring BALL LIKE A GIRL sessions, and I couldn’t be prouder of the group of athletes who showed up week after week ready to learn, compete, and grow.

Since the start of the year, I’ve watched your skills improve, your confidence grow, and your love for the game shine brighter every session. The progress on the court has been amazing, but what stands out most is the way you’ve supported and encouraged one another.

BALL LIKE A GIRL is about more than basketball. It’s about creating a safe, empowering space where girls can build confidence, develop their skills, and be part of a community that lifts each other up.

Thank you to all of our athletes and families for being part of this movement. 💗

Our summer sessions are up next, and I’d love to welcome even more girls to the program. Come develop your game, make new friends, and discover what it truly means to BALL LIKE A GIRL.

Manila - The Commission on Filipinos Overseas (CFO), Philippine Sports Commission (PSC), and Fil-Nation Select met on May 22, 2026 to explore potential collaborations centered on engaging with the Filipino diaspora through sports.

The meeting led by PSC Chairman Patrick “Pato” Gregorio and Commissioner Olivia “Bong” Coo focused on potential collaborations with CFO designed to connect with the Filipino diaspora and with the help of Fil-Nation Select, identify talent through cultural immersion initiatives designed to connect diaspora Filipino athletes with their Filipino heritage.

The meeting opened with a presentation by Coach Cris Gopez, founder of Fil-Nation Select—a global sports organization dedicated to connecting Filipino athletes worldwide. Coach Gopez highlighted their global projects, including international sporting events and an on-ground donation drive providing basketball shoes to grassroots Filipino athletes across various local barangays. Aligning with this mission, Coach Gopez expressed his strong enthusiasm for collaborating with the PSC and CFO to map out initiatives specifically aimed at scouting and recruiting overseas Filipino talent, thereby harnessing diaspora heritage to strengthen the country’s national teams.

The meeting concluded with a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) signing between PSC and Fil-Nation Select with CFO Head Executive Assistant (HEA) Atty. Jan Karlo Magracia and Project Management Division (PMD) Chief Emigrant Services Officer Marie del Rosario Apattad serving as witnesses.
