We need to improve," Aquino, also the concurrent program director, told The STAR ahead of the team's departure this week. "We have to come out and play our game and show them who we are and why we’re here. Hindi yung pupunta lang kami doon just to play," he added, also mentioning their SEA Games' silver medal finish as added motivation. In Melbourne where Duke University ace Vanessa de Jesus will join the SEA Games' Gilas core, the team will play two to three friendlies against Australian clubs before flying to Sydney.
