However, Gomez de Liaño is keeping the details of the said plan close to his heart for now.

But what he could reveal is that he is certainly excited to team up with the FiberXers' young core, which feature the likes of Alec Stockton, Schonny Winston, Justin Arana, and Justine Baltazar.

“We got a young core. We got a lot of great players, especially arguably the best two local bigs, Justin Arana and Justine Baltazar. We got Schonny Winston and Alec Stockton. I can’t wait to play with them,” he said.
