After his impressive stint abroad, Ilonggo guard Ferdinand “Thirdy” Ravena III is now open to return home for a possible Philippine Basketball Association career.
Currently a member of the Gilas Pilipinas squad, Ravena helped the team in bagging the gold medal in the 33rd Southeast Asian Games.
“Ang PBA never naman nawala in my… at least for me, personally, sa career ko,” Ravena said in an interview with Fastbreak.
“I am just playing overseas right now, but it is still my dream to play in the PBA,” added the former Ateneo de Manila University Blue Eagles standout.
To recall, the Ilonggo guard has spent recent years building his résumé overseas, seeing action in leagues in Japan and Dubai, while remaining a steady presence in the national team pool. Now a free agent, Ravena acknowledged that his current status allows him to weigh his next move carefully, including a potential homecoming.
Beyond club play, Ravena also expressed readiness to answer another call-up from the national team under head coach Tim Cone, noting that representing the country remains a priority.
“I am always ready to represent the country naman depende na lang kung may invite tayo,” Ravena said in an exclusive interview with Fastbreak’s Zeus Valdez.IMT Sports
