PayMaya earned the other outright semis berth.“Maraming may nararamdaman sa team,” Valdez admitted. “So it’s good for the team to recover kasi ‘di rin madali ang pinagdaanan namin noong first round.”Regardless, both Morado and Valdez made sure to attend Thursday’s practice, especially as both of them missed Tuesday’s meeting where Delos Santos was officially introduced as the new head coach, replacing Ramil de Jesus.Delos Santos and his coaching staff are now deliberating as to the composition of the 14-woman line-up that will be sent to the Asian Games in August. The list can be revealed as early as Thursday night.“Ang magiging lineup eh 14 lang,” delos Santos said. “Sabi ko sa mga players kanina professional na silang lahat. Nire-respect namin sila and hopefully i-respect nila kami sa gagawing decision.”Delos Santos admitted that making the final cut to the team would be very difficult.“Kung pwede lahat,” he said. “Pero ganoon talaga. ‘Yun ang rules, ‘yun ang kailangang gawin.”After the final list is revealed, the national team is expected to begin regular training sessions on Wednesday next week.For more sports coverage, visit the <a href="http://sports.abs-cbn.com">ABS-CBN Sports website</a>.
