For now
though, Coach Alapag was focused on sightseeing, interacting with local fans
and enjoying all the tourist attractions that Macao SAR has to offer. Coach
Alapag visited the Philippine Consulate, a locally owned Filipino restaurant,
hosted Q&A sessions with fans and hosted East Asia Super League merchandise
giveaways.
The former
PBA MVP and 11-time All-Star kicked off the day by visiting some of the most
iconic destinations including Rua do Cunha at the center of Taipa as well as
the Ruins of St Paul’s Cathedral. Coach Alapag enjoyed Macao’s scenery stating,
“Macao’s tourism sector is consistently growing and this is a great location
for events. People from so many different countries come to visit and enjoy the
culture, food and people.”
Coach
Alapag added that Macao is the perfect destination to host high level sports
competitions like The Terrific 12.”To bring a big-time sports event like The
Terrific 12 to Macao is huge for locals and tourists. There’s a ton of sports fans in the region
and they can all converge in Macao to watch their favorite and the best basketball
teams fight for The Terrific 12 crown.”
Coach
Alapag raved about local food, but was eager to scout out the Tap Seac Multisport
Pavilion, the battleground for upcoming event. He expressed his high
expectations for the San Miguel Beermen and is not phased going up against a
tough group featuring the Shenzhen Aviators from China and last year’s
champions the Ryukyu Golden Kings from Japan.
Coach
Alapag revels at the challenge of going up against the best stating, “The
Terrific 12 is the best international club to club competition platform in the
region and this is something that coaches and players have desired for a long
time. Playing in this amazing tourist destination against new opponents offers
an incredible opportunity for our club and our league to showcase what we can
do to basketball fans across the world.”
During the
meeting at the Philippine Consulate, Coach Alapag called on their support
stating “I hope the Filipino community in Macao can come together and turn out
at the Tap Seac Multisport Pavilion to support us during The Terrific 12. The
Filipino community is incredibly strong here and we can’t wait to put on a show
for them!”
The journey
concluded at a local Filipino restaurant where coach Alapag was greeted with a
massive number of Filipino fans.
