Following the
series of matches in the Asian Cup qualifier held in Kochi, Japan, the
Philippine softball team RP Blu Boys, supported by Cebuana Lhuillier, is now
qualified for the World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC) Men’s Softball
World Cup to be held on November 26 to December 4 in Auckland, New Zealand.
Amateur Softball
Association of the Philippines (ASAPHIL) president, RP Blu Boys’ benefactor,
and Cebuana Lhuillier president and CEO Jean Henri Lhuillier expressed his pride and praised the team for their phenomenal
performance.
“I would like to
extend my sincerest congratulations to the team for earning a World Cup berth
and putting us in the international scene. It’s been a tough journey for our
softball players, but it is without a doubt that they have the capacity to compete
with other international players and rise above the challenges. We will continue
to support them especially as they prepare for the World Cup. This will be a
good experience for our players as they test their mettle against world class
teams.”
For RP Blu Boys’
Head Coach Apol Rosales, the fight is far from over and the team will
continue to do its best to win the coveted title. “We are happy that we are
bearing the Philippines in this journey and we are immensely thankful to Mr.
Jean Henri Lhuillier for always believing in the team. We are determined to
give our 100% in the upcoming matches and show the world what the Philippine
team is capable of.”
Despite losing to
Singapore (5-6) and Japan (0-7) during the Super round, the RP Blu Boys bagged
a win against India (8-1) which brought them to a rematch against Japan for the
Asian title.
