Kiefer Ravena and Asi Taulava supports Coach Yeng Guiao
Meet COACH YENG GUIAO, coach of NLEX Road Warriors and the national basketball team of our country "GILAS". When it comes to basketball, there's no stopping him from conquering the hard court but aside from being the head of the basketball team, he is also a public servant.
Coach Joseller “Yeng” Guiao is all set for a political comeback as he wants to retake his former congressional seat in Pampanga’s first district. He is no stranger to politics, having served as a board member and three-term vice-governor of Pampanga. He held the same congressional seat in 2013.
During his time as vice-governor, Guiao had been a vocal advocate of transparent and streamlined revenue collection in Pampanga’s quarry industry.
Popularly known as “Coach Yeng”, he said that he will brace for his campaign in 2019 despite his double-duty as Team Pilipinas and NLEX coach.
Coach Guiao said his love for sports will also be reflected in his programs as he will push for youth development under sports.
Guiao added that he will follow up on his resolution in the House of Representatives, still pending at the Supreme Court, asking the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation to remit the proper fund for the Philippine Sports Commission.
He said that at least P10 billion is supposed to go to the Philippine Sports Commission since the time of President Fidel Ramos. He said that the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation is supposed to remit some five percent of its gross revenues.
Guiao said that the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation only remitted some 2.5 percent since the time of President Ramos. He added that the funds could very well benefit the sporting community and development of players and athletes in the country.
Coach Yeng also shared that since he is related in the sports industry,he is a sports fan and sports enthusiast, this is one reason why they pushed for South East Asian Games and for Clark to be the center of the sports in the country. He pointed out that when it comes to sports, our country is not just known for basketball but in every field and we have athletes who have swept gold medals as well which is why there's a need to push more for the government to give more assistance and support to out beloved athletes who wants nothing but to give recognition to our country.
NLEX Road Warriors key players Asi Taulava and Kiefer Ravena were present to show their support for Coach Yeng saying that they are very supportive for Coach Yeng as a public servant because he wanted nothing but the best for the people of Pampanga. Coach Yeng is running under the Kapanalig at Kambilan Ning Memalen Pampanga (Kambilan) party. His legislative platform will be centered on healthcare, education and other basic social services.
