[@gregoriopascion1132]

Magpasalamat din tyo kay Chot... 😂😂😂

[@lelouchlamperouge8560]

Alam ni Mr Al Chua kung pano manalo. Sa suporta ni RSA at SMC kayang kaya pumasok sa Olympics. ‘I thank the players for their discipline.’ - CTC ‘I thank the players for their sacrifice.’ - Boss Alfrancis Chua✌️

[@marcelotesalona4907]

Yes, that’s why nanalo tyo ng gold dahil dininig ng Diyos ang dasal nting mga Pilipino! Pag gising palang sa umaga nananalangin na ang mga pilipino na manalo tayo. Again, congratulations gilas pilipinas team. To God be the glory!👏👏👏

[@christianharo7649]

Mr. Farm team

[@HHH-sw9mf]

Ive been watchin all the interviews and their press con but this interview with Andrei is the best interview so far Wlang kupas si Andrei, asking the right questions and follow up questions, allowing us viewers to eqsily follow the flow of the discussion. Dapat tlga magka documentary ito, yung prang The Last Dance.

[@jamesballescas7634]

we are proud of you boss Al, sobrang dedicated mo para sa bayan para sa bansa. Congratulations

[@edwin_ac]

I was in college in UST way back in the 80s. Alfrancis Chua plays for UST during that time. With all the championships that he delivered, sana napag champion din nya USTe noon. Congrats for the gold. After 61 years.

[@unitydaw4804]

*Mas PINOY pa si Chua at Ang kumpara sa iba nating pulitiko.* _Thanks for what you both do for our nation._ 🇵🇭👏

True paps true. Hanggang Ngayon iba parin sa pakiramdam ko Yung pagkapanalo nila.. naglaro man I Hindi, talagang saludo Ako. ❤ Para sakanila. Mabuhay talaga Pilipinas

[@ponypower8]

The NBA has Pat Riley, the Philippines has Mr. Al Chua. Best GM, President of Basketball Operations👍👍

[@kaspandapata7389]

Al Francis Chua and Coach Tim Cone is the key to win the gold they will remember for the years to come....we might won another Asian gold in basketball but they are the one who break the barrier after 61 years we won again....

[@fredtacang3624]

Sana sila uli sa OQT

[@ramboluib2752]

Napaka-koboy talaga neto ni Boss Alfrancis. Walang arte. Walang drama pero lagi may magandang resulta.

[@kram2745]

Ganyan dpat ung mga sa management and executives galing muna sila sa ibaba so alm nila pano diskarte at makisama.. Ung iba kc wlng experience kaya nahihirapan or d nila naintindihan anung nangyayari lalo na sa mga players..eto c Al alam ung gagawin kc nga galing sya sa pagiging coach

[@juliandelara8767]

Eto yung "The Alfrancis Chua" touch. Iba yung motivation ng team pag siya humahawak.

[@bryanjohnking9124]

Grabe maghandle ang SMC Group. Sila Boss RSA, Coach Alfrancis Chua, Coach Tim Cone & the whole Team. Congrats! Gilas Pilipinas

[@WeCube1898]

Problema nga ng MVP Group kase masyado na at home sina Newsome, Alas at Oftana sa SMC Group. Especially si Oftana na naging close sa Junemar-Jaymar Combo. Si Newsome mukhang kursunada ni Tim at si Alas nmn mukhang nagustuhan ni Chua (bagay sa Purefoods - Magnolia)

[@erwinnazareno643]

Thank you sir Al francis and to the big bosses behind supporting our national team Boss RSA and MVP. 👏👏

[@romeotimbang27]

I hope they make a book about this. What they went through, their experience in china, how they try to be optimistic. This will open the eyes of everyone about Filipino spirit. Making the historical victory more memorable.

[@One.Zero.One101]

Sana gumawa sila nung parang Last Dance documentary.

[@yojlemsaidolem]

The sweetest victory among all the bittersweet circumstances. Sacrifices paid off.

[@amadornavarroza4871]

Master motivator, abhors mediocrity, down to earth and with achiever orientation--mga katangian ni Alfrancis Chua that worked wonders for the national team. With a Midas touch, he is a perfect fit as Gilas Team Manager. Sana hawakan nya position na iyan for a long, long time in the best interest of Gilas and Philippine basketball.

[@ScharfeZungel]

The sacrifice and heroism of the players and the staff is staggering. It was a hard fought battle and they won. Iba talaga kapag alam mong para sa bayan ang laban mo. MABUHAY PO KAYO.

[@ogbaar3285]

[@hilarionrevillo9698]

I can see these two people are real friends, they too have chemistry.

[@justprintandwrap]

Love how coach Al says, "haters wala na tayong magagawa, trabaho na nila yun." Hahaha. Mga haters nga naman talaga wala magawa kasi.

After i watched sir Ramon s.Ang interviewed by ka Tunying big respect to him.

[@jeraldsantos7909]

Tama si AFC.. moral support, love and care sa mga atleta ang nagbibigay sa kanila ng lakas ng loob para mamotivate in every game na manalo at maabot yung goal na mag champion kahit mahirap yung laban..

[@lawrencekin02]

The best talaga maging team manager ng Gilas si Boss Alfrancis..... magaling makisama sa players.

[@jfrsnlg]

I remember him as the coach of Ginebra nung bata pa ako. At napa champion nya yung ginebra that time. And then I became a ginebra fan kc humanga ako sa galing nya kahit rookie coach lang that time e naipanalo nila. I think he’s really born a winner. Coach Alfrancis Chua! Yes I remember you from my childhood as a basketball fan! You and coach Jaworski nung Gordons Gin pa name ng team.

[@Kim-je9yf]

Hindi sya nag champion sa ginebra. Finals lang

[@jfrsnlg]

@@Kim-je9yf ay hindi ba? sorry! Oo basta nag finals pala sya.

[@sonnywise2622]

Iba talaga winning mentality ng SMC!!!

[@fredtacang3624]

Batang kalye kase si RSA, sabi nya mismo. Kaya ibang klase diskarte at kalakaran nyan

[@sugarnspice3414]

Guys 100% walang halong echos soooobrang bait po ni RSA😢😊 napakagenerous po sobra, pati mga anak ni RSA napaka humble at karamihan sa executives ng bawat subsidiary ng SMC kahit sa janitor nakikipag kwentuhan sila, kaya halos lahat ng personnel ng SMC maintenance, security guards sobrang ambabait wala pako naencounter na bastos or masungit grabe talaga San Miguel is the best company for me.
