MANILA -- The Philippines will be represented in the East Asia Super League (EASL) Final 4 thanks to Rhenz Abando, who will suit up for Anyang Jung Kwan Jang in the three-day event at the Hoops Dome in Lapu Lapu, Cebu.

Abando has already seen action for the Korean Basketball League (KBL) side last Sunday against Goyang Sono three months following his harrowing fall in which he sustained multiple injuries. He finished with 17 points, four rebounds, four steals, and three assists in a 92-87 win.

But another Filipino in Juan Gomez de Liano won’t be playing for the other KBL team Seoul SK Knights as the guard out of University of the Philippines underwent season-ending surgery on his finger.

The Red Boosters and the Knights are set to clash in the ‘March Madness’ version of the EASL.

The two Korean sides battle each other at 5 p.m. this Friday, followed by the collision between the undefeated Chiba Jets of B. League and the Jeremy Lin-bannered New Taipei Kings of the P. League+ at 8 p.m.

Winners of the two semis pairings will meet in the Finals set Sunday where the winner takes home a cool $1 million prize money.

Except for the Jets, all three teams already arrived in the Queen City of the South on Wednesday.

Philippine Ambassador to Korea Maria Theresa B. Dizon-De Vega attended the game of Abando along with embassy officials and members of the local Filipino community to send off the former NCAA Rookie-MVP from Letran and the rest of the Red Boosters in their EASL title bid.
