Super excited ako kasi hindi naman araw-araw makakatanggap nang ganitong offer,&quot; she said.Animam will be suiting up for Shih Hsin University and is scheduled to fly out of the country in July.&quot;Nag-decide akong maglaro para sa Shin Hsin para sa experience,&quot; she shared. &quot;Yung mga pwede kong matutunan dun, bago lahat kaya alam kong in the future, malaki ang maitutulong nito sa akin.&quot;This, following the developments in the careers of Far Eastern University&#x27;s Ken Tuffin and Ateneo de Manila University&#x27;s Thirdy Ravena.The 6-foot-2 forward is fresh off winning a gold medal with Gilas Pilipinas Women in the 2019 Southeast Asian Games.And she has no doubt that the experience she&#x27;s getting in Taiwan will only help Gilas in the long run. As she put it, &quot;Malaking bagay ito para sa women&#x27;s basketball natin. Yung experience na makukuha ko dun, madadala ko sa national team.&quot;Even more, Animam said this may very well be just the start for her and many more Filipina ballers to take their talents abroad. &quot;Malay natin, pagdating ko dun, mas maraming opportunities pa ang pwedeng mag-open for me and para na rin sa iba pang women&#x27;s player,&quot; she said.This story originally appeared on the <a href="https://sports.abs-cbn.com/uaap/news/2020/07/01/animam-takes-talents-taiwan-college-import-69161">ABS-CBN Sports website</a>.
