Rom Anzures, ABS-CBN News</div>MANILA — The world-famous Harlem Globetrotters are set to visit Manila later this year.As a part of their World Tour: Aisa, the basketball entertainment group will be holding one of their eight Southeast Asian shows at the Araneta Coliseum on November 12, and among those who will step foot on the Big Dome are Rock &quot;Wham&quot; Middleton and Alex &quot;Moose&quot; Weekes.&quot;It&#x27;s been way too long [since the Globetrotters were in Manila,]&quot; said the 6-foot-5 Weekes during their press conference at the Novotel Araneta Center in Quezon City.&quot;Asia has some of the best passionate fans around the world, bar none. We&#x27;re really excited to connect with the fans, and the Philippines is a great start because they have such passion for basketball. The Globetrotters, we love to party, and we&#x27;re gonna invite them to our party,&quot; he continued.Weekes, Middleton, and the rest of their team will be bringing their unique style of basketball entertainment to Manila, but for the former, what makes their shows more special is how they create heartfelt memories with their fans and audiences regardless of age.&quot;Our connection with the fans is the biggest thing because, unlike any other professional team, we get to immerse ourselves in the audiences on a nightly basis,&quot; said Weekes.  &quot;You never know what these people are going through, but when we get there, we get to entertain the youngest child to the oldest adult and make them forget about their worries,&quot; he continued, while even sharing one of the experiences that happened during their tour in the US. &quot;We just finished a game in Oklahoma, and I see this one kid. He&#x27;s so excited, bouncing around his ball. He gets a little closer, and he&#x27;s holding two basketballs. I said: &#x27;Are both these basketballs for you?&#x27; Then he said: &#x27;Well, one basketball is for me. The other, I&#x27;m gonna get it signed, then auction it off to help pay for my brain surgery,&quot; bared Alex.&quot;We bring them into our family. When it&#x27;s all said and done, at the end of the game, we&#x27;re all closer. I think that&#x27;s the greatest thing that the Globetrotters are known for — bringing people together and creating memories worth repeating that are gonna last a lifetime.Aside from their Araneta show on Tuesday, November 12, the Globetrotters will also be visiting Malaysia on November 14, Indonesia on November 16-17 (Mahaka Square), and Singapore on November 23-24 (Singapore EXPO Hall 5).For tickets, updates, and more details, fans can go to <a href="https://www.harlemglobetrotters.asia/">https://www.harlemglobetrotters.asia/</a><div><ivs-player data-ivs-key="e8c22c015ca9eafa76f1e3edfa03c603" data-ivs-spid="3001339" data-ivs-vid="3064361"></ivs-player></div><script src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/js/loader.js"></script>
